Title: I don't know what you want more. Decide it here!
Post by: DASPRiD on November 02, 2006, 06:18:11 pm
Hi peeps,

As many of you know, I'm working parallel on two projects. The first one is Tremstats (http://dev.dasprids.de/programs/tremstats/) and the second one is Ancient Remains (http://dev.dasprids.de/maps/ancient_remains/). Both are surely interesting for players, but Tremstats is also important for server admins.

Currently, both still need some more development. Tremstats is still released as beta and can be tested, but AR will not be released as alpha or beta, only as final version. But if everything goes well, and I would continue first on AR, there would be a second gameplay test on sunday.

So, decide now and vote, which you want me to finish first. Because I can continue first at saturday on one of both, the vote runs to this date (+ 2 day).

Greez,
Ben 'DASPRiD'

My mouth has been watering for Ancient Remains for a long time.  You could release a pre-alpha version and I'd try it!  :D

Both! But make sure to put effort into Ancient Remains. Tremstats is already out.

.. Tremstats seems fine enough right now to me.

But.. i highly discourage just working a ton on a map and then thinking its done and releasing it directly as a final.. players will find ways to abuse and break your map that you can't imagine. You should definitely consider a beta or so to at least make sure balance is right.. see if there are any small edits you can do to fix issues, and make sure no one can build outside of your map etc. Limited beta release is the way to go.. }MG{ no doubt would love to host your map for testing.

Oh, be sure, I'll do many (closed) beta tests for finding those leeks. We still found a way in the gameplay test a week ago, and this is still fixed. So don't believe, I will release a bugged final, thats not true.

You made us wait for 3 awesome maps, you re probably one of the top mappers of Trem and thats a rare ability so pls work in this order :

- Ancient Remains
- Hamunaptra
- Delta Labs (yeah i m still waiting for this dark one...Loved the feeling)
- Tremstats

Tremstats is already fine as it is, and we all know Stats for Trem are a bit irrelevant. Moreover, i would say there are many good PHP coders out there, but really few good mappers.

A proper 'base'-ish map from Dasprid please! Seriously though, screw the TremStats, go work on your maps, good maps is what Tremulous is really lacking at the moment.
