WWII Online's path forward and your thoughts

CRS is looking for your feedback about our future

Determining the direction CRS needs to take WWII Online is clear that we need to modernize our technology and get with the times. To do that effectively we want to ask you some questions to incorporate that information to our development planning.

Please remember that these below outcomes may not represent the final result / options, as investigation(s) are still underway . This survey is purely intended to gather your feedback and determine what the overall community is seeking for our future path.

Your participation here is important, please complete all answers and think carefully of your selections. S!

Question Title

* 4. Decision point: Game engine selection, what is most valuable to you? (Assume our team can only do "ONE" effectively)

"CURRENT" GAME ENGINE: Upgrading the technology of our existing game engine

(Includes, and is not limited to: Roadmap completion (1.36, 64-bit, VOIP, content), New tech like SpeedTree, Multi-threading, bug fixes, performance improvements, combined arms game play and scale guaranteed, continued production speed and quality, retains fidelity in models / physics)

Current game engine would remain operational, standard patching as you're familiar with now.

"NEW" GAME ENGINE: Using another game engine, such as UE4 to conduct ground-up development

(Includes, and is not limited to: Places heavy resources to start game development over, rebuild dated technologies, 2+ (or more) years until product released, new modern game models, new animations, faster production speeds, larger work force, export to more platforms - huge scale is not currently guaranteed, but possible in theory according to our senior developers, several existing systems would be required to be ported over, latest version of Direct X / SpeedTree / other technologies, leverage marketplace assets which include dynamic weather patterns and realistic lighting and texturing techniques, characters entering and exiting vehicles, possibility of inventory system)

Current game engine would remain operational during this stage but would receive limited development to emphasize development on new engine.
