Just a random idea...

This idea is adressed to the development team.

In order to keep interest and speculation running high amongst fans, perhaps you could release more screenshots, maybe even on a daily basis.

Now, I know you guys are busy working on actually finishing off the game, but perhaps you could get the beta testers to email you one or two screenshots each that they think are really cool. Then, you could sort through them, and post the best ones to the website.

This would keep fresh material to drool over available to us unforunates that don't have the beta, and would require, hopefully, minimal time on the your part...

*yawns* let the man work, there's no precedent for releasing screen shots everyday, and even more importantly no need except to satisfy overeager fans.

This request is right up there with asking for a screen shot of the Harvesters being posted

Skanky Burns · October 20, 2002, 00:20

Yes, we need a screen shot of the Harvesters too!

Atragon · October 20, 2002, 03:06

Just because there's no precident doesn't mean they can't do it... Besides, aren't most of us over-eager fans at heart?

You didn't like the one in the diplomacy screen?

They should go GOLD this week if they intend to make the NOV 26 date. Am I right about this?

Grumbold · October 21, 2002, 06:32

It depends on the publisher but 2 weeks from Gold to shelf is not impossible. That would make Nov 12th the absolute latest.

Novemember 1st to make shelves by Nov. 26th.

And we're doing weekly updates. Until we ship Gold, that's about the best we can do with the limited time

Like I said, I am ready for some Moo3 right after turkey dinner

Lou Wigman · October 21, 2002, 22:05

Turkey dinner? Is that a bit like Aussie BBQ?

vmxa1 · October 21, 2002, 22:31

Not sure if it is or not, but just in case some may not be aware of it the third thursday of Nov is Thanksgiving Day in the US and the tradition is a turkey dinner. So I was just saying I may have the game around thansgiving day to play.

Atragon · October 22, 2002, 03:19

Weekly updates? Cool.

if you had got bored like i did and went and registered over at the official forums, you would have found out that Rantz is purposefully not released a picture of the harvesters, you got to wait until the game comes out, or a magazine takes its own screen shot of the harvesters and posts them

Spaced Cowboy · October 23, 2002, 09:15

Damn,

looks like I'll have to take my manditory week off the week after Thanksgiving instead of before.

playshogi · November 4, 2002, 00:57

Nov 1 to make shelves by Nov 26.

Did I miss an announcement somewhere?

vmxa1 · November 4, 2002, 02:34

Lucky for me I am aleady off, have been for 15 months.
