    Always have a strategy to review games regularly. Rather deal with players that are not used to new games because are comfortable with the game they know the best. Players will listen to the person who is knowledgeable and understand own products. To handle the demand, 1. Listen to the demand without interruption and understand the need for new games. Please make it clear that you will consider their demand 2. Acknowledge the demand and request permission to explain the strategy of selecting/developing the game for the market. 3. Clearly share the information about the benefits and disadvantages of the new changes compared to the current game 3. Explain the process to deliver to the expectation. Timeline is very much important

    It's importante to foster collaboration with the community while safeguarding the integrity of the project. To do this, I propose: - Acknowledge and value feedback: Ensure players feel heard and appreciated by fostering transparent communication. - Strategically analyze input: Evaluate suggestions thoughtfully and integrate them into structured pipelines. This avoids the perception of improvisation and ensures the team feels the audience doesn’t overshadow the developers’ vision. - Create review moments: Establish clear spaces for assessing community input to align with player needs while maintaining team clarity. - Balance vision and feedback: Preserve the game's identity by empowering the team to stay true to its core direction.

    I’d address their requests with transparency and a clear plan. First, I’d acknowledge their concerns publicly, showing that their feedback is heard and valued. Then, I’d assess the feasibility of their requests, prioritizing changes that align with the game’s vision and are technically achievable. Communicating timelines and updates ensures they know action is being taken. For broader or complex issues, I’d involve the community in discussions or polls to guide decisions. Engaging players as partners turns their demands into opportunities for collaboration and trust-building.

    "Completely agree! Engaging with players and being transparent is so important. Starting with the most feasible changes and rolling them out one by one, while keeping players updated and teasing what’s coming next, is a great way to keep everyone excited and involved."
