When will Proving Grounds be released?


Hi Descent fans and new players,

Many of you are wondering how "Proving Grounds" is coming along as we originally said we were targeting February to March as our release timeframe, but we have since stated in several comments and (passively) in two press articles that the game is now due to be out in March-April. We were trying to push for a March release but could not make it, so we are using the new window to get all kinds of things in order now that we have completed the heavy lifting of finishing basic gameplay and level design (which was a huge task to undertake).

As it stands, I'd estimate the "Proving Grounds" demo is 80% done at this point, but many features need to be finished, tested and balanced before release. We hope you bear with us a little longer as we storm down to the finish line with the game in tow. This is the first release of a game for many of us, but we will get it done after coming this far.

All the best and stay tuned

    I was kidding when I posted that meme! It wasn't my intention to seem like I was being impatient. Like I said, take your guy's time and make it super awesome! I'd rather have a well-developed and playable demo than one that crashes my computer constantly. Thanks a bunch Sol C team!

    I agree with 'homey duh'. Take your time! I have respect for developers, who take the "it's released, when we are satisfied with the game" approach. So, polish that baby right up! :)

    If you need another beta tester, Im all for testing it. I already have a gaming system designed to just play this, so more than willing. :D

    Ah, I see the issue here. As new game developers, you were smart enough to make a time estimate, and then triple it. But only experience can teach you that you need to double it after that. ;P

    On a more serious note, can't wait! Looks awesome guys.

    Thanks for the update guys! Remember, you don't work for EA. And that being said, you've come further than any other "Descent Mod". We know you're dedicated. I appreciate you taking the time to get it right and letting us know. Very refreshing.

    Cheers!
