[Grega]

how about telling us how the melee progress is going without any prize for it?

I told you. Its broken and buggy. The only thing that works about half way correctly is basic melee.

... and even that is questionable.

The team, I saw it on the steam group.

Okay, so you found out about our meeting times. What point are you trying to get across here?

Huh? Where are you getting this idea from I just said that they have a meeting at that time witch means there's probably not gonna be any major update anytime soon.
Chill out.

 

[Damaera]

Why wouldn't there be a major update anytime soon?

I have no idea where you're getting these ideas from.

We have a meeting every sunday, its always been like that. It bares no relation to how often we update.

 

[Snowm@n]

I knew about that since....forever.....aaaah...I miss the times when esf 1.3 beta was reborn, right after the website problem, an update every week....and you must admit that nnk had very influence on it, it made the team speed up a bit for like 8 weeks.

 

[Skiwan]

Things are still progressing just as fast as it was back then, but the thing is everything is so WIP and unfinished atm that our updates wouldn't be much good. NNK had somewhat to do with the updates, but it didn't change how fast we work. We just went out of our way to find something worth showing every week. While that was fun, its hard to produce something new every week which is fit for public viewing, plus it took a large chunk out of our meeting time.

 

[Snowm@n]

Hell, if the low quality updates make it take so much longer then i'll wait for nicer ones. But keeping POTW with new stuff [even unfisished] it's already nice.

Don't worry, as Dave said, most of our features are WIP, and we've already shown a lot of things, unlike NNK where they've mainly been showing never before seen features since the beginning.

We'll start showing more features once they're in the "nearly completed" stage.

 

[Grega]

Maybe just maybe we are in a stage where we have less updates with new stuff and have more bug fixes.

So you want to see the update of "This bug has been fixed" I doubt it.

Besides its pitcure of the week. Not "show the new feature of the week" Thats what the news is for.

Honestly with those replays id just love to throw in some 1.2 pics just to anoy some people >.<

(Im not pointing at anyone in particular BTW ^^)

In any case if anyone is interested. We have meetings every sunday. 1 meeting for the beta testers and 1 meeting for the devs. No secret. Oh and thats 7:00PM GMT not 8 PM ^^ Guess someone forgot to change that XD

Knowing when wont help you though as you dont know the exact place or the password

Oh and remember there is still the force pit. Maybe they know something normal people dont XD

 

[Damaera]

Don't lie to them, Grega. You and I both know that the Force Pit hasn't been updated in years.

But anyhow, we don't even have to show any new features in our updates. Although I prefer pleasing the community (both homo and non-homo ), we will have a few updates in the future that won't be showing off any new features. I do enjoy pleasing you guys, but I can't please you all. If you don't like a POTW or update, that is completely out of my hands. Most of the time.

I do have something planned, so keep your eyes on the news section. There may or may not be a big update on Sunday.

While i know that every team of developers has different ways to give updates to the public, i suggest taking the guys from "A Path Beyond" as an example. http://www.apathbeyond.com/

While not all of their update blogs have big updates, nobody complains since they are well written and informative.
If you get someone to write the updates for you, it might be the best idea.
