PS future.

[Karyuu]

We're at 0.3 and PS has been in 3D development for nearly five years now. So... take a guess :]

Where does Steel Blue fit in again?

[Karyuu]

Steel Blue will be version 0.4 - we get a name change at every similar "milestone": Atomic Blue, Molecular Blue, Crystal Blue, Steel Blue, and beyond.

[zanzibar]

Right, but at what stage of developement will CB turn into SB?

[Volund]

Oh crap, by the time which I estimate is 12 years I will be im my middle 30's...no really?

[Karyuu]

I've been told that SB won't be as drastic of a change as CB was - more like features will be implemented and many additions made and ultimately you'll step back and realize that you're playing Steel Blue. There will be a new client download with more stuff, and there are definite goals to reach for version 0.4 - it just won't be as drastic of a change as the last reworking of almost the entire system.

Volund: Development is going pretty fast recently, actually. These updates we're doing every two months began fairly recently, and a good amount of work really started to be put into the game last year and continuing into this year. 1.0 is rather far to think about, but the next milestone (Steel Blue) may perhaps take a year or two. Or heck, sooner :] Who knows.

I vote that the game gets a new name every month, just to make it seem like progress is happening faster than it is.

[Volund]

I cant wait for pets, mounts, archery, and my favorite shadowy night attacks.

AND one day a cut off area will be a pvp only area, where I can kill everyone !

[Nurahk]

I like your way of thinking, zanzibar.

Atleast people will stop complaining about slow development

"I see no change"
"Look harder, any idiot can see the change"

Emperor's clothes ftw.

I remember the amount of updates in MB...we barely got a chance to play there were so many...right?

Something based of the propaganda tactics that  are used by some commercial projects when they release "new" things after version 1.0. AKA: "Expansion Packs",  "Platinum Editions",  "Gold Editions" "Blablabla Edition", etc.

Just like saying:

"Windows 98 Second Edition is totally different from Windows 98"

There are no paying customers here, so using such types of tricks is a unnecessary.

noob thinks: Cool, new name! They must have made a much better game now.
noob has entered Planeshift
noob leaves Planeshift after few hours thinking: WTF? This game is the same! Why they wanna put those stupid names to versions then?

You missed Zanzibar's humor... :}

I didn't think it was funny.
But as it was supposed to be an approach on humor...

Diary of a 1337 coming from RS on the new way PS versions are named

January

New name c00l, I wanna see the 1337 new content!
---After Some Hours---
Bah same crap, this game still sux!

April

New name c00l, I wanna see the 1337 new content!
---After Some Hours---
Bah same crap, this game still sux!

July

New name c00l, I wanna see the 1337 new content!
---After Some Hours---
Bah same crap, this game still sux!

October

New name c00l, I wanna see the 1337 new content!
---After Some Hours---
Bah same crap, this game still sux!

At least it will serve for something good. A new barrier for *cough*Run Escape*cough* "leets".
 
Still it's propaganda. Lets make each client with an number(th) and the "Edition"

Last one would probably be

Planeshift 1000th Edition
