Title: So when is a demo coming out?
Post by: DarthWang on August 19, 2008, 04:08:58 am
A single mission, or even a gameplay video, would be good. When do you think this is going to happen?

Yeah, a single long mission just to show a few of the ships, you have so far, in action. Would certainly perk up some interest!  :yes:

According to the Wiki article there will be a small release in December '08.

The Wiki is outdated. We were meditating on it, and saw the future, which will be like this:

We'll release a demo at 15:32 (GMT) on 22 Oct 2008, which will feature 12 X-wings, 8 Y-wings, 8 Z-95s, 24 TIE Fighters, 18 TIE Interceptors, 16 TIE Bombers, 2 Assault Transports, 3 stormtrooper transports, 1 Imperial Star Destroyer, and 6 Uglies (3 of them will be on the Escort List). We'll also use 5 waypoints, create 58 Events with 29 messages, 9 directives, and the mission will be 62 531 bytes in size (12 841 bytes of it the briefings and in-mission messages). The player will start at x254, y1184, z514.

FREDding will start on 30 September 2008, beta testing on 8 October 2008, and will constantly be improved until the release date.

:D

If you were going to be that specific it'd be easier to just post the mission code up. :P

:D

That's just too high up... Can you move the player_start (too much HL2 editing) to x254, y-1500, z514


Thanks :yes:

Guys, release dates around here are like points on Whose Line, they don't matter.  But if it makes you feel any better, there'll be something out Soon™.

We're not asking for a release date, just something to tide us over for now!  :P

I feel better now!  :D

Then you don't get the reference to CCP and their constant use of the word "Soon" whenever you ask when something will be done, regardless of how long it will take to be released :)

Read the wiki article again, it says we estimate a demo release in late 2008 or early 2009.  It says nothing about december

Must have.

By the way, future topics asking "When will it be done?" will subsequently be locked.

I didn't ask when it would be done, I just asked when a demo or preview was coming out

It's estimated late 08 / early 09. That info is as close as you can get. I recommend you to actually read the stuff in this thread.

meh, you're not late. you're taking your time to make _quality*_ stuff.

*Whether it' actually quality or they're just procastinating may vary.


but seriously, the thing with estimates is just that: they're ESTIMATES. nobody really seems to understand that....
