In a tweet 4J sent out approximately 23 hours ago, they had a link
to a type of interview with the CTO of 4J, Paddy Burns. This was said
on into the interview:
Talking about the conversion process, Paddy Burns, CTO of 4J Studios, told us about how console gamers are now helping to shape the update process. "We are getting great suggestions from Xbox players both on Twitter, and on the forums," he says. "Sometimes their ideas are so obviously right that we can't figure out why we didn't think of them! We have been changing various features within the game based on their feedback, and adding new features and options that have been suggested and debated between lots of forum users. Every now and then we even pitch in on the forums just to let them know we are following all the discussions and suggestions on there!"
When he says 'pitching in' on the forums, I believe he is referring to 4J steve,
4J stu, padware, and there may be some more, I'm not entirely sure. Anyways,
what do you think they're looking into? I had a thread all about 360 edition
exclusive requests sent by fans, and If you didn't check that out yet, I recommend
you do. There are tons of brilliant ideas through the pages of that thread, it
definitely deserves a looksy (I'm being sincere about that, I'm not trying to score
rep or anything).
And guys, please don't turn this into a request thread, or start arguing about
how increased player limit and world size are impossible. That really gets annoying
after a while. Not to mention every thread, no matter how unrelated to Tekkit it
is, somebody leads the conversation to "They really need to add Tekkit because...."
Look, I like Tekkit but.... Oh look, I'm ranting.
Sorry about the mini rant, just speaking my mind.
And as always, thanks for bathing! I mean.. reading!
Yes, glad you guys feel the same way I do. I'm really grateful that we have awesome
considerate developers working on this game, it's fantastic they listen to their fans.P.S. I added links onto the thread
Yeah I noticed right away that those guys were watching and participating in these forums and was even in a discussion about the exit without saving option, and had a member of 4J jump in and say they were on board with how we felt it should be changed. The fact that this even happened blew me away. That it also happened in an hour or two of forum discussion was surprising as well. +1 to 4J community service!
Really is good to know these guys are serious about wanting our input. I've noticed this since I seen 4Jsteve and 4JStu post their first times on here. I thought "Oh hey, these guys actually wanna talk to us, that's really cool." I hope more things get added from what people suggest. It should make the 360 version more amazing in it's own way.

I'm guessing this was about making it like the PC version where you can't just quit and reload to undo something? I seriously hope that's changed. My brother got me in the habit of doing that and I'm trying to stop. It takes the danger out of the game at times when you can just quit and reload to undo what just happened. :'(
lol! Well i was in one topic about colored glass earlier. . .
I'm also very impressed. I know I've seen 4JSteve answer peoples' questions before. I actually read the aforementioned Exit Without Save Thread. It all makes me very excited for this game's future! The last game forums i took part in were WoW's and they had a very strict No Comment policy when suggestions were involved. They did implement suggestions but sometimes it would take years and no one knew upon what criteria they were being looked at or dismissed. I really like this method much better. It gives you a sense that the developers really care about your input!

Is there a link to this thread? Everyone's alluding to it but I can't find it via search.

Well, since were getting the sprint button, how about a football to play some "minecraft madden"? Can make our own fields! It can be thrown and caught! Then we'll just need a "juke" button and will be set! Haha! Sorry, I'm a ridiculously huge sports fan! Can have team jerseys as skins?? LMAO!
