Release date of GE:s Beta 3
Mark [lodle]:
The front site is static content which is hard coded. While i was on the team i was pushing for a cms like joomla to be used but the server host scott didnt want it because it was dynamic (well scott these forums are dynamic to!) and thus its hard to update and prob wont be updated all that often.

LOL. Good joke.

Im not asking for a shitload of stats, graphs, etc... Just a little estimation on how far from release beta 3 is... 20%? 80%?

--- Quote from: Doc.NO ---With the Beta 1.0 rush, I understand why you guys don't want to set up a release date again. This is a good decision. Rather, why not release some percentages on what's done til that famous beta 3? It gives your community an approximate idea of where you guys stand in term of dev, and might calm down people like bklax23 ;). This is the way it was done back in 2005, and worked well.
That's why most of the mod out there always have one or two Public Relation dude. GES is probably the only non failing source mod whitout a PR dev...
Oh, and please: work on that nice photoshop art so called website. Should be more up-to-date :/

in terms of percentages, we would have to go through a check list to see, but most of the stuff is done, weapons are all modeled and textured. some of them need animations, our interface is set. the bulk of the game is in there and running. monkey has a good idea of what the actually percentage is ill have to ask him, or maybe he will chime in.
when Xantos moved onto other things our PR kind of went down hill and the devs tried to cover it as best we could, but again we care more about making the game haha. Sharp is handling the PR stuff now so bug him if you want more info about the project he will talk your ear off haha. better to have us bad at PR, and good at making GES than good at PR and crap at making GES hehe.

Agreed.
To be honest i expected more interest in the post about the Beta 3 update but it seems many people have moved on, also im sure many think this mod is dead. Perhaps if PR was present there would be a bigger fan base, then again im not one to criticise the devs decisions regarding that area.
I guess PR is a pain in the arse, still if you want to get more people playing this 'beta 3' get on the PR bandwagon !
Just an opinion :/
