ETERNAL RELEASE PLANS

In Response To: Re: Bug Free's The Way To Be! (Simon of team Sigma)

: Peoples are not interested in downloading part by part, Gary told me once to
: make Sigma available only when every chapters will be done instead of
: uploading chapters by chapters and separate game files, my suggestion:
: finish Eternal, then release as ONE big file instead of many parts.

I am going to do that for the RELEASE. But for TESTING, BEFORE RELEASE, WHEN IT'S NOT DONE YET as UltimaKungFu is saying I should... well, it's not done yet. How can I wait till it's done and released to test it and also test it before I release it? People also won't be interested in downloading and redownloading and redownloading slightly modified versions of a 100+MB scenario through beta testing.

Let me repeat this once again in big, loud, capital letters so everybody gets it:

ETERNAL MK I WILL BE RELEASED AS ONE BIG DOWNLOAD ON JULY 25TH, 2004. THIS IS THE FIRST VERSION OF THE GAME WITH ONLY 10 LEVELS BUT IT IS FULLY PLAYABLE AND "DONE".

MARKS II THROUGH V WILL BE RELEASED ON A TO-BE-ANNOUNCED, HOPEFULLY MONTHLY SCHEDULE AFTER THAT. THESE WILL EACH FEATURE AN UPDATED VERSION OF WHAT WAS IN THE PREVIOUS VERSION, *PLUS* TEN NEW LEVELS.

ETERNAL X WILL BE RELEASED ONCE MARK V HAS BEEN VOLUNTEERED. THIS WILL BE THE LAST VERSION.

IN THE MEANTIME, YOU CAN BETA TEST WHAT IS DONE SO FAR BY DOWNLOADING IT BIT-BY-BIT.

The reason I'm releasing incrementally is because I've spent EIGHT YEARS trying to get a big final complete package released, and I AM GOING TO RELEASE SOMETHING IN MY LIFE GODDAMNIT! As it stands, the first FIFTH of my project is already HALF the size of any of the three original games. I think that's a good enough chunk to release on it's own.

-Fobo appologizes for all the caps-lock but he's kinda pissed off and hates life lately.
