NickC13573 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 Hey Adam, thanks for making a great game every so often. My suggestion is, why not have ALL of us Beta the game for you. Every time you make a vast improvement on it, you can release it for people to download and we will give you feedback on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickC13573 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 I know man, its just I [B][U]ALWAYS[/U][/B] read, I NEED this game now and such. I am just thinking, that if Adam did do this that people would stop making pointless threads about the game and actually give constructive criticism.

Undertaker666 Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 As an idea it's great but it wouldn't work. If Adam gave out the beta to lets say 5000 people, if they all come back with "why isn't this in?, I want that changed? etc." then he'd probably want to go back and change it. Then would be beta v2.0 and the same thing could happen again. Add to the fact that the more people who give him feedback, the more time he's got to spend reading through it all, time which could be spent working on the game instead. Eventually we'd probably get TEW '07 in 2012 if Adam included every single suggestion that everyone made. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vocalorigami Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 even though it sounds like a good idea and lots of people checking out the game for bugs would cover lots of ground. You dont really need a thousand people as beta testers. The select few is good and thats what a tech problem section on the board is for. Even though its good to get all the bugs at the begin. We have let Adam correct the bugs one at a time not all at once if we all have a beta of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickC13573 Posted September 14, 2006 Author Share Posted September 14, 2006 No, what I meant was. That as vocalorigami pointed out, get all the bugs out right away. And, everyonce in a while Adam could take a poll on new features and depending on the mass concensus, keep it in or toss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even think of one game in recent years (console or PC) that doesn't have at least one bug in it, and most are made by huge companies with millions in the bank and a large team to create the games.

Torri Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Something I think you guys are forgetting is that Adam is creating TEW 2007 by building on top of (though not keeping *everything* identical) of the TEW 2005 game engine. Therefore, the stability of 05 at its current state would translate over to '07 with the only possible bugs being new features that Adam has added. So there shouldn't really be a HUGE problem with bugs as was the case with 2004. As for everyone being a beta tester.. that would just be wrong lol. Everyone has their own ideas on what feature should work in what way.. it would be impossible to keep up with everyone. Not to mention, having been on Adam's beta team before, what sort of incentive would someone have to buy his game, if they already have a pretty much completed beta? Granted it wouldn't be the *full* game.. but lets be realistic :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
