Hearthstone senior game designer addresses player ‘restlessness’

Have you ever become frustrated with a studio for its lack of communication and the perception that the developers are goofing off instead of working on vital fixes and new content?

Hearthstone Senior Game Designer Ben Brode put together a new video to explain the dev side of this equation, saying that there’s always projects going on behind the scenes that the team has to hold off on announcing until they’re ready. That said, Brode acknowledged that constant communication is essential to keeping the playerbase from getting too restless.

“We are working on tons of stuff,” Brode assured fans. “Whenever you’re frustrated with a development team, the truth is that we’re working on them and they’re not so far away. There are so many things we want to do and we want to do them right.”

You can hear the sage words of Mr. Brode after the break.
