Game Development: Salem & Haven

[Onionfighter]

Our hope is to be able to let some smaller number of more people in before Christmas, and then start opening up the alpha further some time in January.

For true? <3

Ohohohoh, not you, of course. Everyone else, but you.

Only because he already is alpha testing.

[SacreDoom]

Won't matter. For the most part, your capacity to bootlick has nothing to do with anything.

Pre-Alpha, by it's very essence isn't possible. There is nothing before Alpha unless you count design docs and concept art?

[spectacle]

You can have running code that's pre-alpha, you only get to alpha once you have something that's actually playable, even if it's severely incomplete.

The wait was terrible in the beginning..now it seems that Salem is like a dream you had that over time just starts slipping away..Check the forums for word on it and then am like oh well ok...lol maybe one day we will get to play it..

[Flame]

to create a game ther's need 1 year to begin, and an H&H game syle mean lots of work so...
There will be to wait, really a lot, if we want to play something nice. I think that wait is better than a bad work, so no hurry.

Really? Then why r u sir already alpha testing and other players who have honor have to wait like lil bitches because we cant lick ass? Unfair.

Anyways, Im done with that cocksucker guys. I dont get one thing. According to this thread amd Salem forums, lets be honest here, Salem is shit and does not deserve closed alpha testing at all. This game is just not that serious and/or great to hide it from the rest of players. Theres nothing really special there for H&H players, shit graphics and donate based economy which WILL be ruined since day one. But they act like this project is like a motherfucking Skyrim or something close and only allow early testers if they are either good asslickers or pay them. Screw u diatribe.

Ultima Online had a completely playable pre-alpha stage featuring some crafts, PvP and PK, one city, few monsters and a big Quest...just saying.
