Has there been any Alfa test battles lately? If so could you share your experience with them on the Forum?

You do mean Alpha MP test correct? We should be doing one this week to test gameplay and if so, I'll see about writing up an AAR. I might see about grabbing some screens as well.

Are you ALPHA testing SP too? or is all the effort going towards MP? :dry:

Jim or Norb would probably be better suited to answer this, but MP is just about there. The reason why we continue to have MP games is to test gameplay.

SP is next on the table and there are some things that need to be worked out before we start hardcore testing it.

Thanks for the update, be looking forward to your AAR.

Here's how I see it. The same AI used in SP is used in MP. MP is more fun to test because you are playing with other guys. The AI is not done, so testing scenarios is not quite there where it can be really productive. Therefore I feel that a good MP test covers everything that we need tested right now.

Some people get to have all the fun! I get to go out and rake rocks, trim the bushes, spead mulch, burn stuff, get a tan, walk around in circles waiting for the big day.

I have been working on exercises with my leg so when the game comes out I get up and dance for 10 minutes without feeling the aganizing pain that always seems to be there. Hey if Mp works perfectly will you be able to release a demo with a MP battle.

I am planning on releasing some type of mp demo when we're ready. We want to really highlight what this thing can do.
