No Patch Today (10/25)

[Undead Sanya]

One of the two programmers had to miss yesterday (back today and all is well, though), but the bigger problem is that as a result, we couldn't get the patch through QA. Our QA team is two people, and they are up to their asses in alligators with Breakdown in certification. When you miss a window in a jampacked schedule, there's no way to just make it up.

I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but I can't blow sunshine up your nether regions. I assume you'd all rather know exactly what happened and why.

Anyway, we're planning to patch on Monday. More UI stuff, physics changes, some optimization for ATI cards, and (deus volent and the crick don't rise) mouse changes are on the dock. Cross your fingers it all makes it through QA.

"...up to their asses in alligators..." lol.... some type of motivational technique? :D

No worries.... makes receiving the patch all the more enjoyable when its done!

Best of weekend guys... btw aint you heard that releasing stuff of a Friday just means that if its f-ked up the devs need to work on weekends to stop the brownstuff hiting the fan!

Have a relaxing weekend!

[Undead Sanya]

Well, that's what happened last weekend, if you'll recall ;)

looking forward to it!

Its no problem, I have one question though: Will the Sandbox DLC be free? If not how much will it cost?

[Enigma_z9]

There are a lot of impatient people out there...my god if they had to play they console games i had as kid they wouldnt know what to do...OMG i had an ODYSSEY..you changed games by changing the films that looked like X ray films, and the static held it to the TV LOL

[Undead Sanya]

Good grief, Enigma. That's a blast from the past, right there.

MLP: No, it won't be free, but I can't say how much yet. I think it'll be nailed down at about the time we nail down a release date.

[Enigma_z9]

LMAO....yeah it was easy to destroy a game back then. just tear the film

[Enigma_z9]

Do you guys still think the release will be by the end of this month?

[NvK_X91]

thank you for the update on the update :) im glad to see this game getting the attention it needed, and i hope you all get the credit you deserve (even if i did post just one nasty complaint.. it was out of frustration of many, many, MANY PC ports over the years not getting fixed)

[HeavensDemise]

Just wondering if we are going to eventually get the option to adjust specific graphic settings in the future? Not really a big fan of being forced into presets.

Wait! So there are aligators in Breakdown?! That's kinda cool. Now my imagination has gone wild. Since there are fewer cars on the higher difficulties can we tame these aligators to be ridable! They can do some awesome monster chomping action too!

[Undead Sanya]

I don't think the Breakdown release is happening this month. Those are the alligators. ;) We reeeeeally wanted to launch it on Halloween, but rushing it out just to make a self-imposed deadline would be stupid.

Heavens, I don't know. But I'll ask.

[Patriot]

Aww...

[Enigma_z9]

I agree...would rather you guys take your time...I'm patient, Thanks
