Just wondering is there another playtest this weekend (Tomorrow) or was last weeks the last one?

    I feel rather certain there will be another.
    it is generally good practice to always test the code after any changes.  So since it wasn't release on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday, there will likely be another test.

    Hopefully this is the last one.

    They still need to clear out some place holders.

    And clear out they did guys! Let's just say the new look on a lot of this weekends stuff was amazing. Still a few things to knock out though, but damn, I never knew so much could get done in a week <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    With every playtest you guys do, do you use a new RC, or use the RC twice or so 'till a new one is made?

    "but really it isn't all that bad," says Gwahir as he gnaws on a playtester.

    I'd say at least 3 more playtests.  We hit a large bug where all text suddenly left the screen.  Possibly only 2 more, but I personally think that there will be 3 more.  A few more weeks for maps to get finished, code to be finalized, and the models to be messed with.

    /me Crosses fingers that it will come out august 20th.
  • GwahirGwahir Join Date: 2002-04-24 Member: 513Members, Constellation
    I was really hoping for earlier than that, oi developer!  What are your thoughts for the number of remaining playtests

    They HAVE to have another playtest.  Its the only way to find bugs in the coding.  You can't make something 100% bugfree just by finely combing the code.  You have to test and retest to see if you have fixed the problem and/or if new problems have formed due to the changes you have made.

    Maybe I should take the current build, travel back in time... to the time when Counter-Strike was in Alpha... and give the build to the future NS Dev group and say "And on the 6th day Natural Selection was created. Here, um... take this build and finish it."

    And the leader would say "Whoa dude... I was just getting this idea to make a mod like that! Have you heard of Counter-strike?"

    And I'd reply "Hell no!" and travel back to modern day to see how much it evolved!

    Or maybe not.

    A few people have been placing bets in IRC as to when NS will come out. They are as folows:

    Tick 30/7 100:1 two cookies
    Necrophiliac 12/8 20:1 one cookie
    SmokeMasta 16/8 18:1 three cookies

    Any more bets?

    My bet is it will be out within the next year..:) I bet 1,000,000 and five point three.


    Probably next month, not sure when though.

    I get so sick of telling people not to speculate on the release of NS that this is the last time I'm going to do it.  Stop speculating, it ends up spreading rumors and is rather unpleasant for the dev team.  It will be out when it's ready and no sooner.
