Beta 5
Posted: Sat Sep 18, 2010 1:06 pm
Hi. I'm one of the developers. Beta 5 will be released soon. This has been such a long delay... I don't even remember when beta 4 came out, sometime in late 2009? Well we were kind of "done" at that point, but this game has been nagging at me for a long time, not satisfied with it being still somewhat unfinished. I mean, it's fully playable and I believe you can get to the end now, but there are those nagging bugs and feature requests... I remember a couple of volunteer programmers, wabbity and Vincent, don't know if they're still around or not.. But it looks like I'm the only programmer left fixing bugs and Steve is done with all the scripts now I believe?
If you are a member of the google group, you'll have noticed a ton of "Issue" messages this week. that was some updates from Steve, and my work on the sources. So, we should be ready for beta 5 now. I dunno, what else do you want to do Steve? I'm thinking, just get the danged thing out so people can play it, and who cares, if we need to do a beta 6, so be it.
I'm glad this board is here now, since the google group was kind of difficult to use--it's a mailing list, not a threaded system. Some new information has been put up, go ahead and check it out: http://groups.google.com/group/starflighttlc. In the old days we had a dedicated site but then the project went open source, and I dunno if that was such a great idea or not, but here we are..
Here's a pair of short youtube videos of combat in beta 5. I don't even recall what combat looked like in beta 4 now but I think it's changed a bit. VIDEO1. VIDEO2. (btw that's with all class 6 equipment).
