Discussion Board Developer Comments (May 4, 2022)
The discussion board topic of “opinions about reorganizing the official homepage guides for new and returning players” has ended and the developers have shared their thoughts.
Just a quick note because I think it might be a bit unclear and people have misunderstood before: only the blurb at the beginning is written by the developers. All of the top 10 opinions, supporting comments, and opposing comments are summarized from all of the things that players have posted.
2022 Maple Live Talk!
Yesterday, the 2022 Maple Live Talk took place in Korea. The general director Kang Won-ki and the planning team director Kim Chang-seop answered questions sent in by players and talked about what they could do to improve the game accordingly. It was seriously long, about 5 hours, but I’ll try to summarize the questions that were asked and their answers.
At the very end, they even teased the summer update, and announced the MapleStory Ignition Showcase which will take place on June 11. This will presumably show off the Cygnus remaster and other things coming this summer, similar to the MapleStory Destiny Showcase in December!
Discussion Topic Selection & Background Information (3/24 ~ 4/25)
The MapleStory team has chosen the next discussion board topic, opinions about reorganizing the official homepage guides for new and returning players.
Discussion Board Developer Comments (February 24, 2022) & the Maple Notice Board
The previous discussion board topic of “Overall convenience improvements” has ended and the developers have shared their thoughts on what players talked about.
In addition, related to this post, they updated the Maple Notice Board, which I haven’t really mentioned before but I’ll talk about it after the developer comments.
Maple Us: MapleStory Employee Blog
As mentioned in the Destiny Live Talk, Nexon has released a new website called Maple Us, where MapleStory employees (mostly programmers at the moment) have written various posts about what they work on and the processes they go through. The articles are genuinely really interesting and I was surprised at how in-depth they went! The site also works as a recruitment site where it lists out some of the benefits employees get, what jobs they’re currently hiring for, and how you can get in touch.
I’m definitely not going be translating these as the articles are pretty long and I’m way too lazy but if you’re interested in things like how features in-game get implemented from start to finish, or how their backend DBs work, things like that, it’s definitely worth a look (using Google Translate should be enough). However, since they just released it, I’ll just list out some of the things that popped out to me in each of the current articles.
