Hi che, I don't meen to be a beepstard to anyone, ok so I am a bit
out of date yeah I do get a bit like that sometimes.
Ok I realise I got rr 1 for free when I did the initial test, and I
know I probably won't be as lucky the second time, however for the
best part of about 3-4 years again it may be less may be more, due
to things on my system I have not been able to play with my licence I
have got which was on an old box, what happens to those first beta
testers for 1, do we get the game for 40 bucks or are we aligable for
the discount upgrade.
I don't mean to be rood and such, I think you did help with lost keys.
and I realise that the piracy of game codes is a problem for the industry.
I just thought the having to buy a new key for each computer was a
bit unfair since there are other ways you could have handled it, but
its your choice ofcause.
I never got into the game when I tested it really but I I'd be happy
to try again.
A lot of what I say is mainly through rumour on the forums or here
and some of it is old info especially if I have not heard anything
new I can only quote at what I hear.
Ofcause I get this from a user point of view so the world may look as
flat and dull as a cupboard when its actually not so I probably
have some disadvantage being a user though its just the way it is.
On the subject of testing Yeah I'd really like to get in to some more of that.
but oh well.

Hi all,
Sorry it took so long for me to respond to this thread, I don't check this
list much anymore, and I've been very busy coding the sequel to RR as well
as our new cribbage online game.
First of all, I would like to point out some absolute BS that sean posted
so we can clear up his mis information.

This is total crap all around from sean, as usual.
I don't like flaming folks on public lists, but frankly sean's posts are
for the most part a detriment to our little community, he is full of bad
info, complains about the accessible games out there all the time, and is a
crap beta tester that just wants a free game without any useful feedback.
I've taken a lot of hits from sean on this list regarding the software I
work very hard on with his half baked opinions, and kept mum about it, but
I'm sick and tired of it, as I am sure every other developer is that have
been knocked by him.
I think sean is probably a good dude, honestly think he doesn't mean to
mis lead folks, and he does have some technical info that is correct some of
the time about technology, but reader beware when reading his posts..
If any other developers out there care to get my appraisel of his beta
testing skills before you bring him on board for your projects, email me off
list.
Now to respond to his email:
Folks that got in touch with me and needed new keys were provided them as
soon as I could get to there request, I've sent out tons of extra keys to
folks, and have frankly been more than generous about it, even though a lot
of those folks were lying and sharing the keys with friends, but that is the
nature of this small market, everybody wants to have fun, but a lot don't
want to pay for it.
Ask those that bought RR 1 and needed new keys while the game was still
being supported, as far as I know, nobody was turned away.
I've been pretty mum about RR 2 development, to avoid getting swampped
with questions from folks before it was ready.
We have been testing it for a few months now and adding new stuff, making
it compatible with modern systems, compatible with all major screenreaders,
new sounds, new control systems etc.
This is not a trivial task, and has taken many months of development time,
but I feel the results will be well worth it.
A new demo will be released as I finish RR 2, allowing folks to create and
play user created tracks all they want, they just won't be able to play
official tracks to earn money, nor play on line until they purchase a
license.
The folks that are currently beta testing purchased a new license for
$39.95, which will be the price of the sequel. They of course will get all
upgrades as new versions come out.
Those that purchased RR 1 will receive a discount on the purchase of
RR2, at this point I haven't decided how much that discount will be, but
will update the list as we near final.
Some folks will feel this isn't fair, that they should get rr 2 for free
if they purchased rr 1, as it is basically an updated version of the
original game with new content, I can completely understand this stance, but
this is the same model used in main stream games, you don't get a free
version of madden football 2012 if you bought 2011. The developers feel the
purchase price is worth the extra content, and I agree with them, many won't
concur with this purchase model, and that is fine.
Again, I will update the list about rr2 with more details as we get closer
to release.
I will be checking the list for any responses to this email, and I ask
that folks please respect the subject line and not change topic without
changing the subject. This is one major reason I rarely check the list
anymore, I'll see a subject line that sounds interesting, open it up and its
totally unrelated to the subject line, very frustrating, time wasting, and
inconsiderate overall.
Also, this is already a large message, be sure and delete the content
before replying or your response may go over the size limit and be rejected.
Thanks for your patience in waiting for RR2, I feel the wait will be very
worth it.
Take care, and I look forward to seeing you guys on the tracks very soon
