Dear OOO,
I know you were burned by oversharing in the past, and that caused you to go mute for a while. That's understandable.BADLY
Perhaps it is subjective on my part but I feel in the past few months you have been communicating more frequently to us via forum posts and IG mail. To this I say: THANK YOU!
Regular communication breeds happier players. It makes people feel connected to the developers when they are told/shown about progress.
It's hard to feel like "OOO doesn't do anything except reskin costumes" when we know you've been fixing things behind the scenes (or are building new scenes!)
It's easy to get excited when we get snapshots a month in advance of some new goodies we'll enjoy. :)
It's a great thing to see the "Admin" tag on forum posts--it means we know you're reading and conversing with us.
It's smart to send updates via IG Mail as well as the forum. I doubt many Steam players even look at the proper forums.
I hope you continue this and do it even more.
One suggestion: I remember when you would regularly post your bugfix list. That would be a great thing to do again.
You obviously haven't stopped fixing bugs (I've seen my ATI graphics card issues reduce their frequency; I've heard about a couple security patches.) So let us know about the little things so we know what you've been working on.
I know you won't talk about what's on the horizon--and you shouldn't. We've seen how badly that goes. But please, keep talking about what's around the corner and what we've passed by. :)
Thank you for speaking up!

Good post. What was OOO badly burned by?
