Announcing the Community Development Team - Build 266 and possibly beyond?

Asraniel

One example is that because of some changes the grenade launcher broke yesterday. When that happens that means:
-somebody has to fix it (done)
-there needs to be a playtest to confirm that the fix indeed worked (not yet done).

we have 4 playtests a week.

So while all is "done", we are now in the final phase of playtesting and bugfixing (but its looking very good, not eta on release date though)

-And that the new fix hasn't messed up something else completely unrelated

Essentially, with some variation, the process typically goes:

• Fixes for issues are implemented by programmers (That you can vote on here!)
• Playtesters test the fix and either accept it or reject it
• 2nd attempts are tried for those items that were rejected
• New issues that arise from the fixes themselves are implemented for testing
• PTs test the new fixes for original issues as well as fixes for the fixes
• PTs test thoroughly with bug free build for better part of a week before giving seal of approval.
