I would hope that the time spent on the chronicle, videos, etc would turn out to be really good marketing for you and end up paying for itself. Obviously that may or may not be the reality but I'm sure we all wish for screeps continued success

Unfortunately, we don't have resources to invest into marketing this way, and we have to consider this seasonal project paid work rather than investment. We're a lean startup with a small team and no outside funding.

Semi off topic, has outside funding been looked for? I'd imagine outside of the usual game investors you'd be able to sell the product well to educational groups, etc..

@shibdib Your lifetime subscription will unlock full CPU on the seasonal server. Entrance fee has nothing to do with CPU, it just gives you access to the season.

So I get full CPU but still have to buy access? So I'm paying twice for the same game (everything you're selling here is already being done on private servers).

I love the idea of seasonal servers and think they're a long time coming. But that implementation just seems like you're nickle and diming users.

I've been clamoring for these for forever (finally poking ags enough to do it with S+)

My only complaint is I bought a lifetime sub for the base game that I don't actually enjoy that much because I appreciate the product.. But now I'd have to buy another sub just to play an iteration that I would enjoy?

This would break a lot of people's pathing code

You should push links to these updates to steam. It's been 6 months since the last "News" post on your steam page

I'm sorry but the new homepage is terrible. The scroll to get information design is awful and the removal of the menu that let you get to most key game functions via a single click was a massive mistake. Tons of wasted space with artwork that has nothing to do with the actual game. It's a great example of everything wrong with a scroll based homepage.

I have to hit sign in regardless of if I'm signed in just to get to the map screen? I have to load the map just to get to anything else? etc.. etc..

I was able to catch it in the dev console https://pastebin.com/cfua72Bt the initial redirect occurs on line 174

Today didn't even require a click, opened my profile page and it loaded up all my rooms then redirected me to a similar link as above. This all occurs with uBlock running

Still an issue, it redirected me today to https://screeps.com/?utm_source=cityads&utm_campaign=SCREEPS&tracking_id=NsS9v5OXE84L0lqhG8goeNjmCz2ZaKCZ

Other users have confirmed also having this occur

Just let this idea die already...
