release?

[galaril]

Shaun,
I know you are busy with evryday work stuff and getting the manual and evrything else ready but do you have a ETA on release? Or maybe Matrix folks can tell us. Also, any word on a feature list for this release or is it 100% bug squashing stuff? Thanks.

Join the chat tomorrow.

[Amaroq]

Um, DandircSturm... what chat?

I don't see a link for chat anywhere from the forum pages, and I don't see any announcement directing me to a chat room at a given time.

So... what are you talking about?

[Tankerace]

Look in the Press releases forum, at the very top of the page. "Live chat with....." There is a chat with the dev scheduled for tonight I beleive.

[Amaroq]

Ah. Thanks, mate. I have a direct link to this Forum bookmarked, and am not really trafficking any of the other forums on the site, so I didn't see that.

[BleacherBum]

If the lack of activity on this board is any indication, it seems the momentum building up to the publishing announcement has been lost due to the lack of a product release. Anyone else sense this?

[galaril]

Oh yeah. This game has passed off my radar until next spring training thanks to the delay.

[Erik Rutins]

In fact, things behind the scenes have being accelerating towards release and I expect we'll have a gold announcement soon. Have you folks been reading this forum, seeing the release candidate link, etc?

Regards,

- Erik

[Amaroq]

Yes, Erik, we have - but I agree with BleacherBum. This forum feels dead! We need to get some conversations going, or there's no point in visiting it daily. I think if there were a whole bunch of people posting here, excited about the upcoming release, etc., we'd have the feeling of excitement building to a fever pitch that accompanies a much-anticipated release.

[puresimmer]

Sorry guys. There is just a lot more to putting together an intial release under a new company: New installer, Box art, Big manual etc.

Since most of you can already download RC1 I'll let you know you are not missing anything.

Its a bummer to see people already giving up. Please don't take the move to Matrix as being a negative thing, we'll get it out there.

And with this news, the world stopped turning...

I believe the reason the board has lost momentum is simply because Baseball season is winding down and Football season has just started.
As much as I love Baseball when Football starts I change direction.

[Amaroq]

Since I posted my 'this forum feels dead' comment, only four threads have been posted to. (in 25 hours)

Surely football season is playing a part, but in my mind it feels like we've lost the 'critical mass' of conversation that keeps people coming back and participating in more conversation. It isn't so much about when the release date is, as where's the chatter?

Hmmm... Actually for me, one of the things I like about PureSim is I can have baseball in December.

Maybe we could get some AARs like for the war games. I know Dandric and I post fairly regularly on the AFB thread. Maybe some could post on other Multi-Player leagues or even individual leagues.

[DandricSturm]

Thats why I usually post the standings and some stats.

Summertime done & gone & no release. So far, not impressed with Matrix. They can spin it anyway they want. But missing the release date & a vauge one at that is a bad job.
Hope the game comes out soon.

[puresimmer]

Well we actually said late summer and technically today is the last day of summer

The last release of the game was July so we are not talking about a massive delay here between releases.

I think people are being a little hard on me for taking a little extra time to release a FREE upgrade for existing users, after I have released about 10 over the past 6 months.

Hang in there ok?

[Dazooz2]

Well no offense, but because many of us that are interested in the game already own it (having purchased it pre-matrix), and knowing that not much new will be available in the final release of Puresim 2005, it's hard to get excited about something we already have.

I hope the release brings in many new buyers, but I find myself feeling pretty neutral regarding this final release.

If you are already using one betas / RCs then you are absolutely right, nothing new here to see just some polish and a manual. If you are using the last official public release (v8.21) then this release has a HUGE amount of new features.

Ideally we'll expand the market a bit and hit again with another release next spring.
