  2. I'd say it's a DS but that doesn't tell us much. Do you guys get early access to the demo, having pre-ordered and all? Aren't there any more screenshots or concept art? When should we expect see gameplay footage?

    I can go on and on, you know :p

  3. We're currently in Alpha stage, at around week 12 of developement.

    Not sure when the Beta is, but the next point release is when we're 20 weeks in to coding.

    We're still planning to release the final product to the public on time, sometime around summer next year.

    The code is functional, but not in a playable state as such. This has caused the lead developer to have lots of tantrums and mood swings, which, of course, has led to pressure on other members of the team.

    But rest assured, we're doing all we can to make sure we get this thing on time next summer.

  4. Thank you for the comprehensive press release. I like how you dress up the "only active" developer as the "lead" developer; it testifies to your excellent PR skills. Can you comment on recent rumors of you and Gabe Newell being spotted talking at a local Starbucks car park?

  5. I'm not going to confirm nor deny that rumour, but would like to go on record that we intend to release our final product via Valve.

    Now I know what the developer meant by the phrase "you can clan kara"

    Bullseye and congrats dude ...

  11. Tron, Wolf: Thanks

    Blue Blood: indeed! The lead/only developer is learning to swear in lots of languages :D

    DrD: real-time 3D "probe"... am not sure we can convince our developer to go for that one :)

    India: we are making sure that non of the source code leaks. We will, of course, be thinking of various protection methods. One idea we're toying with now is just releasing one very limited collector's edition, which will remain safe with our team.

    Another possibility is that our final product will release it's own daily downloadable content, which we'll happily pass on to all those torrent sites out there.

  12. Nile: Thanks man :) How's Maxim, is he out of beta yet :p

    I think we've got a little clan getting together:

    DrD's daughter
    Blue Blood's sons
    Haniboy's daughter
    Wolf's daughter
    Our bionic cybercommando

    That's 6 players... we'll have to modify Doom II to do 6 player DM ;)

  13. I call shotgun on 'SoSoB' if it's a boy.

  14. Man....... I forgot to mention Maxim, Nile's soldier and Tron's child (boy? girl?) in the clan, hence making it an 8 player affair... they'll have to play 2 seperate matches of map 7 :D

    SonSoB rather ;)
