Problems with the website.

The old website (susheel.ifastnet.com) was mysteriously taken down for reasons as yet unknown to me. The result was the screen-shot gallery went offline. I had to move the existing website to another location (which was quite a bit of work). In any case the site and up and things are back to normal. You can find the screen-shots here. I have updated the links on the pics below so clicking on them should also work now.

As far as the beta goes, there have been no major issues as expected, but there are issues that need looking into. This website migration thing has kept me busy so there were no more screen-shots or videos as promised. I hope I can get over to these things this coming weekend.

Beta released! Finally!

After a last minute delay, the beta (version 0.0.3) was released today morning. It's been a hectic 2 days after a small issue was found and (thankfully) fixed. This should be the last and final beta before the release of RCs in a couple of weeks.

I will upload more screens in a couple of days and perhaps a Youtube video if time permits. In the meantime beta testers are testing out the release. Hopefully there won't be any major issues. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Hard at work on the beta release.

The final beta release is scheduled for 16th June, 2007. This release features the complete functionality of the game and is a run-up release to the first Release Candidate (RC1), meaning the game is functionally ready.

I spent the entire of last week and a better part of this week already, on the in-game GUI. The GUI is turning out to pretty good, considering that it was a major hassle to work with when we first integrated it into the engine. I will post screens of the GUI in a couple of days once all of it is complete.

I am currently looking out for Release Candidate testers/players so as to get feed back on the game. I have managed to rope in 4 guys already, plus our (2) beta testers, hopefully I can find more. Sorry to disappoint, but the current beta release is only meant for in-house beta testing. Hopefully the RC1 will be pretty soon (in the following week). Will keep you posted.

First post and new screen-shots.

This is my first post to this blog. I will regularly post updates to the game we are developing. I have been really busy with the development of this game for the past 2 years. The game is now entering final beta release cycle and we are at a liberty to post some screen-shots and movie clips in the run-up to the release.

We would welcome comments and critics on any of the material posted here or on the website of the game. I have posted some in-game screen-shots of the work completed so far.
