Count down Untill 2.0

since 2.0 is coming out pretty soon i decided to make a count down sooooo

13DAYS 4 hours and 2 minutes left until 2.0 comes out
12days 8hours and 15 minutes left until 2.0 comes out
Forget the count down here go to this website http://ehome.baselinux.net:8080/empiresmod/pages/countdown/

 

Omigosh, how long do we have left now!? =o

 

omg how much time now?! i cant handle this suspense.. its killing me!

 

Oh shit, I need to stop messing around and actually finish it now!

 

should i add a countdown clock to the PR site? and a comments section?

 

a flash countdown timer. Dee, you know Flash, get on it, stat!

 

this will be funny because we will actually release it on time.. anyone remember goldeneye beta countdown? and the many other countdowns to nothing

 

Uhhhh, do we even know a time of day?

 

added a countdown

 

All of the art and animations are done. All of the bugs reported about building models have been fixed.

 

and the other bugs?

 

so...whats left.

if nothing, then early release on the forum?

 

The 100+ other bugs are still there.

 

After 2.0, you guys should actively patch the mod. Around once a month perhaps. Or you'll lose players again

 

From 1.0 to 1.06 updates were 2 times a month, it helped a lot.

 

Either 1.05 or 1.06 took ages I seem to remember.

 

Those were the early days, when empires crashed every 10 minutes (well the first few releases did). With a lot of players it would lag horribly, and a lot of things had to be done. The decission to make it a public beta was to have more feedback so the problems could be addressed more quickly, which made it possible to have a new patch every 2 weeks, improving the game a lot with every release.

At this point however there's no need to do it this way anymore. A patch now and then to fix currently unspotted bugs and improve some things will still be nice, especially right after launch (new players with new hardware configurations always bring new bugs). Once those are fixed i think most effort will be put into the next release, instead of small patches. I'm not sure how Krenzo will do this, but i doubt you'll be seeing a patch every month, unless it's necessary due to unforeseen problems. Let's hope not.

 

that's surely an over-exageration? What are they, leaf pixel on top left corner of leaf a different shade of green?!
