If you're saying that a beta team will get a bug free product to the public
in a day or two, think again. (grin)

Having a beta team would flush out serious issues to avoid releasing a
buggy beta to the public and shouldn't take more than a day or two.

Shane, I think that point of offering the betas at all is so that
everyone can comment on the game. If Thomas were to set up some kind of
private team, this would limit the number of people that could help with
the beta.
From my personal perspective, offering the game to a private team
would really! cut down on the amount of enjoyment a player could get. As
I said in an earlier email, I've spent well over 24 hours playing beta
18, and it hasn't gotten old.
Just my personal opinions,
John.

might I suggest you release to the private beta team before going
public?
Just a suggestion.

Hi,
No kidding. I've tried really hard to produce a decent product, and
yes there have been unforeseen setbacks like this one that knocks us
off schedule. Its definitely not something to joke about. To modify an
old expression, "stuff happens."
Ironically, after I sent this post I tried to compile beta 18 and
experienced some of the same bugs so it would appear the problem is in
the engine, IE the core, and not the game source itself. So I looked
and bingo there was a line of code I copied from the cross-platform
version of the engine in there which was calling the UpdateGameState()
function when it shouldn't be and it totally threw the timing out of
wack. I removed it, recompiled the library, and linked it into beta 20
and several bugs vanished at once. However, there are still a few bugs
I've got to track down, but it would appear this situation isn't as
bad or hopeless as I first thought. The upside is that instead of two
or three weeks maybe I can release beta 21 in a couple of days.
Cheers!

Tom has been working his backside off for the game and some of the
setbacks were circumstances beyond anyones control.
