Russian - If you keep telling peope what you hear, they might get disappointed.

We all got disappointed when the devs told us we would get what we wanted in December, but we didn\'t,  and I honestly think that\'s why they never tell us anything. So they wont disappoint us by doing/not doing something they promised. .. And of course, to annoy us about knowing something we don\'t.

Well....Ok, I\'m not saying the Devs -have- to do this, just a teensy suggestion:

Could they maybe have an update section of the website where they post what they\'ve done for the day? A bit like a diary. For example, \"We fixed the X bug today and finished coding the fighting system\"
I think it would give people a better idea of what to expect (CB is not going to be the final release, so it\'s still going to have some bugs and room for improvement) and when to expect it.

You can see updates in the CVS. Devs are too busy actually coding to spend time writing what they\'ve done every day. Besides, although it\'s not top-secret stuff, they would rather keep the information in the CVS rather than post everything they do on the main webpage for everyone to start getting excited and starting rumours about. No. It would cause more trouble than it\'s worth, imo.

CVS means Concurrent Versioning System; its a utility that programmers use to manage complex projects.  CVS allows developers to upload code to a central repository server without worry of conflicts with other developer\'s work.

A tutorial on CVS use is beyond the scope of this post, your best bet would be in the documentation of Sourceforge

Thanks. Hopefully soon I\'ll be out of this whole n00by period.
