Self-referentia

This blog is meant to be an informative and entertaining account of indie development life – with snatches of video games opinion thrown in. It strikes me that posting about our progress with the beta in as much length as I have been may alienate some of our less involved readers… and if that includes you then I apologise. However, there is merit in these posts for those not directly involved: the entire process is shown fairly faithfully in my commincations with the testers.
This beta test counts as Determinance being allowed out into the wild for the first time, and the process is scary, stressful, and electrifying. I believe it is now clear that we are listening to beta feedback in a very, very intent way. These guys have to persist with Determinance when it is not wholly agreeable… their pay-back is having a real influence on it’s evolution.
For those of you who miss my esteemed colleague, I should say that this current absence does not in fact embody the usual lazyness. He has been preparing for being one of the main acts at the Truck Festival and this weekend fulfilled the task – with, aparently, ecstasy-driven stage-diving fans. His return is… expected.
The zone is not free of fools, but I must ignore them while I relax. Good night.
