Cop: "We're good this time, but please slow down and be more on the Paragon side from now on" I think she noticed my N7 shirt!

The good news is Aaryn is no longer "dying to wait".

Finally, they got off the crapper and confirmed what I suspected .

The other day, the Devs were talking about their cursed elevators (http://bsn.boards.net/post/29910/thread) @ BioWare Edmonton.
(Now, I'm not saying it was the Solasmancers, but... if I had to put money on it...)

Now, how N7 Day will magically fix all this, I have no idea...
(maybe they can afford to exorcise / buy new ones then...?)


Though the more I think about it, I think they're going to show off new MEA artwork on the doors...

I hope they go all out on N7 day and show us way more than a trailer.

Good lord, I hope not.  That's the team.  That's our team.  That's my team.  Hopefully they're just talking about bringing up cameras and lights and such.  *pray*

Hey, the inhabitants of the Blanketfort are very peaceful creatures! We would never do anything so despicable!

Uhm, so yeah, you really shouldn't be saying untrue and unsubstantiated stuff like that!

I guess a small team, the core team of DA is working on the next game. In the first stages of game development, as far as I recall from Gaider's blog, there aren't many people working on it.
Plus the same thing happened already in the past, for Bioware games. The Edmonton team was almost all focused on DAI in the central stage of its development. I wouldn't worry that much at the moment.

Well, no.

There's always a core team of DA devs - Mike Laidlaw and Mark Darrah in particular, and probably Patrick Weekes now that he's the lead writer for that franchise. They stay on DA pretty much no matter what, and they're usually in charge of big-picture thinking before production properly starts.

Mark Darrah did tweet a video/picture of a booklet with DA symbols and EA's logo on it a few months ago, so I think it's very reasonable to say that the game is still being worked on. 

I expect a big chunk of Andromeda's devs will switch to DA4 after ME ships early next year, and (some of) the new IP devs will move over once that game ships too. 

I think the first time we heard about the New IP was when they showed off the video at E3 2014, so I'm guessing they've been working on it closer to 3 years at this point.

What we know about DA4 is that it is being worked on, and not just by the leads (though I imagine the team is still fairly small at this point). We also know they've been talking to Failbetter Games and I think it's a safe bet they'll be doing something again for DA. We also had Mark post that poll asking for people's thoughts about a potential DA strategy game, but I haven't heard of anything about that since...

But, like EP says, I imagine the team for DA4 will grow as the other games wrap up.

Uuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmmm

Is Andromeda going to be like Inquisition then?
