Re: Coverage from the Game Developers Conference

I'm down with alot of that.

Scott and crew had already mentioned "better" ships having collisions be fatal, so I'm good there.

As for the number of beta signups....everyone and their mother signs up for betas...it's become more of a "come look at our game" then it has a "help us with xxxx" thing. It's a disturbing trend in games.....when you feel like your beta needs to be a release type game.

Re: Coverage from the Game Developers Conference

I love betas. They're such pretty colors . . . and when you put a mirror next to them they puff their fins out. I just think giving out a bunch of fish to computer nerds is a strange way to promote a game.

I signed up for one anyway.

Re: Coverage from the Game Developers Conference

that poor fish. I wonder how many die of neglect every year due to these sort of shenanigans

I'm not entirely certain I signed up properly... hope the classic player thing works for me
