Title: Beta or Demo
Post by: Mustang on January 10, 2002, 08:56:41 pm

G\'day everyone!
I just signed up today, and I was wonderin if there was a demo I might have missed out on, or if it\'s still coming.  
Also, is the demo going to be the beta testing, or is there a team set up to do that?

Thanks!

Hello Mustang :)

Don\'t worry you haven\'t missed the demo, it should be along soon, I\'m hoping for sometime in Feb, but we\'ll just have to wait and see.

The demo will probably be followed by other demos, which in the future will be followed by a beta test - probably quite a long way off though (Thekkur will correct me where I\'m wrong ;) )

thats right ;) We\'ll have our first demo (named atomicblue) out soon. Our second Demo (molecularblue) should have all the races and will come out soon after that. Then more demos will come out, each bringing new features. After the demos we\'ll have beta\'s, and then the full game (which of course will be frequently updated)

So,.. what you are saying is that when the first demo comes out it will be gradually upgraded to the final game (so to speak).

ROLL ON THE DEMO!! :)

Will each demo (after the first one of  course) have the previous upgrades from the other demos

i.e. Demo #1 Has \"cheese\"
Demo #2 has \"Mayo\' PLUS the previous \"cheese\"
Demo #3 has \"chicken\" plus the previous \"mayo\" and \"cheese\"

and so on...

(those were just example things)

Will the demos be like that?

well... not exactly... I\'m working on the chicken now... but it\'ll be in the first demo. There\'ll be some other structure, mainly having to do with the different aspects of the engine. but you\'ll learn about that one later.

I just used chicken, cheese, and mayo to mean the updates. Not REALLY chicken, cheese, and mayo.

You know that right? ?(

Check out the news on the planeshift site.
\"The races available will be StoneBreaker Dwarf, Enkidukai, Ynnwn. One more will follow.\"

So, yeah, the Enkidukai is gonna be in the demo. (Why, why, WHY is it so popular?! :O :D  )
