I'm curious about 1 thing just for some giggles.

When you release it what kind of a release would you see yourselves going for?

  • With announcements or even a bit of a video to make people aware that it will release on a specific date, or that it's around the corner.
  • With a surprise announcement out of the blue on the day it is released, basically saying : Game released: Here's the link Have fun!"
  • Will you secretly release it somewhere on the main site and wait for someone to discover it so that he can then go on the forums and post "OMFSAJBASBASJDG It's here!"

For the many people here that aren't mods or devs, what would you think these sneaky devs will plan on doing?

Get off my couch
That will be my area of magic.

But most likely it will be an announcement with some kind of release party as with previous releases

Releases usually go as follows.

1.) Announce release date a week or 2 in advance
2.) Upload the files
3.) Post links in the force pit a day before the release party
4.) Start the release party and post the links there
5.) Post the links on the main website about an hour after the release party


Or something along those lines. Ofcourse there is a few early access winners from the old forum competitions that get the link before the force pit does, but something along those lines.

Yeah,Force pit can get the game a day before the party,and after the day ,the ESF Team will hold the release party.

And thing confused me is that there will be limited or not.

I'm so happy I'm a member of the Force Pit now!! DAT PERK!

Yes, the release party does not have a certain limit, however if the communication channel used (IRC?) is flooded, than that would be the limit. But no physical limitations will be set in place by the team, but there will of course be a ban or two on that channel, so you better play by the rules.

Most likely the IRC channel will be used along with a live stream of TS people listen to while they are in IRC.

The channel still seems up, SS is still idling in there so surgebot has yet to abandon it, but GS seems to have deleted my auth account.
