Arrowhead Games, the developer behind Helldivers 2, has taken on a significant amount of community feedback in recent months, addressing both bug fixes and enhancement requests from fans. Recently, CEO Shams Jorjani sparked a discussion on Reddit, inviting users to share their ideas on how resources can be more closely integrated with development efforts.
On the popular sports subreddit, courtesy of GamesRadar, user BigKahuna_AGS shared a post seeking participant input on behalf of the game’s designers, with their explicit permission. The problem at hand? Sources of income, such as rewards for completing missions, including medals, samples, and requisition slips, can fuel long-term progress.
While some individuals have accumulated significant digital assets, they seek innovative ways to leverage these resources for more engaging forms of growth. “So, tell me your most innovative ideas,” he penned.
“We’ve developed our own designs and concepts, but we’re eager to hear your thoughts as well,” Jorjani said. “In time, we plan to formalize this process through official surveys, but for now, I’m simply seeking your input as a curious individual.” Reddit allows top-notch ideas to organically surface and gain traction.
Here’s an idea: leverage existing sources and newly acquired knowledge to drive long-term growth by aligning them with the overall strategic framework of the game. We’re committed to producing engaging streams and vlogs in the future, and revisiting this topic could be an exciting subject matter to explore at some point.
The CEO subsequently issued a prompt disclaimer, clarifying that this submission should not be misconstrued as a guarantee or signpost that concerns would necessarily alter or that your ideas would ultimately be implemented; rather, it was intended as a cordial conversation. It appears that the team has dismissed Jorjani’s lighthearted suggestion to adopt GoldenEye 64’s mods as an incentive to boost mission engagement, literally copying them as a rewarding feature.
As written, this thread is already abuzz with innovative ideas from passionate Trekkies freely sharing their thoughts and perspectives. Here is the rewritten text in a different style:
Beyond mere remark options, four innovative approaches to leveraging extra sources could significantly impact the Galactic Conflict. Firstly, transforming data into bite-sized gaming experiences would engage players and foster a sense of ownership. Alternatively, creating a community-driven resource pool where gamers can contribute to defend threatened planets could have a profound effect on the conflict’s outcome, for instance by funding defensive systems that make planetary defenses more effective.
Wouldn’t you want to see both of these changes incorporated as factors in Helldivers 2, or perhaps have your own resource-spending philosophies shape the gameplay experience?
