sorry about the whole lack of updates thing, we do kinda suck at getting those out to you guys. the main reason we are slow with updates, is that they take a lot longer to assemble and a bit of work to do them. so we would rather just spend that time and effort actually making the game cause well that's a lot more fun for us haha.
as for us being dead and gasping for air hehe the rumors of our death are greatly exaggerated hehe.
and the reason we want EVERYTHING to be in game for this release, is that we are doing a True beta. which for anyone who works in actually game development knows that means all features will be implemented and testing needs to be done before the game goes gold.
since we don't have a dedicated team of 100 testers playing our game for 16 hours a day during crunch time, we would rather throw it out to you guys to find our minor bugs that we couldn't iron out in pre testing.
not to mention the game has been in the works for far to long to have us let something out this time that isn't totally fantastic and really fun. beta wasn't so hot, alpha same deal fun for a couple weeks then you go back to games that are balanced and good to play. we want people to have fun with GES so they want to keep coming back for more.
now as for a release date... uhh it wont be years i know that much, but it wont be days either haha. we are closer to having the game we set out to build, than we have ever been. and the current game is actually pretty dam fun to play but we know we can squeeze even more fun out of it, and get in the last few features we have wanted too. its been almost 4 years since this thing started, i think you guys can hang on just a little longer to get the game we've all been dreaming of.
