Combine Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 What are you planning to do within the next several months before you release blue? Link to comment
Cray Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Many aspects are not yet complete, tweaked, synced perfect, etc.... We have released info on what we are pretty sure we can do (we have bits and pieces done), but nothing is 100% complete yet. Link to comment
<547>montana Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 if this comes off a spam to u guys then sry but if you only have quote "bits and peices done" those must be some pretty big peices to have it 60% done Link to comment
Slothman Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 they are just padding their time, just like ever other game developer i bet sa could be released right now, but they wait for marketing or beurocratic bs to appease the suits. (for mta, i guess we are "the suits") Link to comment
<547>montana Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 i see so its some kind of marketing strategy Link to comment
Slothman Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 more of a PR strategy really Link to comment
eAi Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 No. If we were to release now, we'd have a very unstable product thats not very "well rounded". Currently we're still adding and completing many of the features that are on the information page. I've just completed the main shooting code (its taken me 4 months, working like 6 hours a day) so thats a major thing out of the way. Theres still lots to do, such as optimising the netcode and completing much of the integration. eAi Link to comment
orappa Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 And not fogetting testing. Link to comment
StAnToN Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Testing, so that you dont miss any major bugs i.e. the bandwidth bug in mta 0.4 Link to comment
eAi Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 The testing phase for blue will be much more thorough than it has been for previous versions. We'll be releasing information on how you can get involved soon, please don't ask. eAi Link to comment
StAnToN Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Sounds good eAi, thnx for the info! Link to comment
OpiuM. Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 you should have a mailing system like matrix online Link to comment
eAi Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 How does that work? eAi Link to comment
OpiuM. Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 you fill in a form for the beta.. (how often would you play etc) (what are your specs) and make it a php form.... and make it a selective...open beta...or something lol.. basiclly the ppl you select to play can play for a few weeks (whenever they choose..duh) and submit bug pics/movies...thats how the matrix one works Link to comment
Gunny Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I wish I could play beta??? Like wheres the form send me a link? Link to comment
eAi Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 We will be doing a large ammount of beta testing for blue to ensure the final product is as perfect as possible. We haven't decided how this will work yet. eAi Link to comment
