Re: [Audyssey] Quick MOTA Announcement
Thomas gaming is always fun, however, I'm sure we are all totally understanding of how life throws things at us and we have to put things on hold. In my opinion, I think you should bring out the beta when all is done and not worry.

Re: [Audyssey] Quick MOTA Announcement
Hi Thomas. I personally think your far too kind in this. Yes I am greatful you have informed the community why Beta18 hasn't been released as announced previously. But asking the community whether they want it now unfinished or to wait I feel is unnecessary. You as the developer should do as you wish and what you need to do to satisfy yourself. I honestly believe this decision should be purely down to you, and agree that you should not release anything, any betas, any finished product or anything until you are as happy with it as you ar going to be. Yes people will mown and complain, but at the end of the day you create these games in your spair time, for your enjoyment as much if not more than to make money, so I think your satisfaction is key. I think you've given the community far too much freedom in saying what they want from this game etc, and believe it should be your project, and people will buy it when its ready, regardless of if they have had input into the game or not. Sorry for that rant, but this pandering to blind gamers too much gets on my nerves, mainstream developers wouldn't dream of asking their customers such a question and people still buy their games. Yes keep us up to date with progress, but no more.

Re: [Audyssey] Quick MOTA Announcement
Hi, Thanks for the well wishes. Yes, she is doing better. Today she actually got out of bed and came to the kitchen table and is eating something other than soop. Which is a good sign she is doing much better. Most of the worst of it was last weekend when she couldn't get out of bed without falling down. I just wanted to give everyone a heads up as to why I'm not working on MOTA, and let people know the release will be out when I'm able to. Cheers!

We took her to the hospital where they gave her some antibiotics, and strict orders to stay in bed for seven to ten days until she felt well enough to get out of bed. As a result I've had to take over all of the house hold duties such as cooking, cleaning, and doing simple tasks like fetching my wife a glass of water when she needs to take a pill etc. The end result of all of this is absolutely no time to work on MOTA at all. So our beta 18 release schedule is pretty much shot to pieces. So here is the thing. I could go ahead and release beta 18 now, as is, but it isn't complete so to speak. Most of the upgrades are done, level 1 has been updated, but we don't yet have level 2 added to the demo. So it is really your choice if you want to wait a few days for me to add level 2 to the game, when I have the time to do so, or if you would rather just have the beta now without level 2.

Re: [Audyssey] Quick MOTA Announcement
I can aggree with that. Interestingly Since life has got slightly bussier than it used to be I have not been that fussed with waiting times. IN fact the only time I get to really gander like this is either late at night or early in the morning. It is because of my life that I woke up early this morning with about 100 things running round my head. I decided to sort as many of these as I could, and this one, that is my online life seems to take up a lot of time. Example in point I spent the first 2 days fiddling with abandoned and other games from the forums. I hate forums but I will try to see what i like on these and subscribe to what I want. This is why I had delayed responces to things like closed threads before I actually recieved the message for closed topics. At 12:57 a.m. 4/03/2011, you wrote: Hey Tom. Marriage comes first.

Re: [Audyssey] Quick MOTA Announcement
well its because tom is so open I don't complain. I have nothing to complain about. I know the score therefore I will wait. At 03:28 a.m. 4/03/2011, you wrote: Hi Thomas. I personally think your far too kind in this. Yes I am greatful you have informed the community why Beta18 hasn't been released as announced previously. But asking the community whether they want it now unfinished or to wait I feel is unnecessary. You as the developer should do as you wish and what you need to do to satisfy yourself. I honestly believe this decision should be purely down to you, and agree that you should not release anything, any betas, any finished product or anything until you are as happy with it as you ar going to be. Yes people will mown and complain, but at the end of the day you create these games in your spair time, for your enjoyment as much if not more than to make money, so I think your satisfaction is key. I think you've given the community far too much freedom in saying what they want from this game etc, and believe it should be your project, and people will buy it when its ready, regardless of if they have had input into the game or not. Sorry for that rant, but this pandering to blind gamers too much gets on my nerves, mainstream developers wouldn't dream of asking their customers such a question and people still buy their games.

So our beta 18 release schedule is pretty much shot to pieces. So here is the thing. I could go ahead and release beta 18 now, as is, but it isn't complete so to speak. Most of the upgrades are done, level 1 has been updated, but we don't yet have level 2 added to the demo. So it is really your choice if you want to wait a few days for me to add level 2 to the game, when I have the time to do so, or if you would rather just have the beta now without level 2.

Real life trumps hobbies, even ones from which you hope to earn a little extra cash, in terms of importance anyday.

A lot of you have started asking questions off list what is going on, why isn't the beta ready, etc and I thought I'd make a quick public announcement explaining where we stand on things. As so often happens with creating accessible games as a side venture in our free time real life problems and issues simply get in the way. This case is no different. Around a week ago my wife got really sick. We took her to the hospital where they gave her some antibiotics, and strict orders to stay in bed for seven to ten days until she felt well enough to get out of bed. As a result I've had to take over all of the house hold duties such as cooking, cleaning, and doing simple tasks like fetching my wife a glass of water when she needs to take a pill etc. The end result of all of this is absolutely no time to work on MOTA at all.
