Things are going pretty smooth with LD now so I guess I’ll layout a release plan.
Link-Dead deathmatch test
Should be out in the next weeks. This version will contain as the name suggests a deathmatch mode with split-screen mode and bots. I want to test the simplest game mode before moving to my bigger plans.
Link-Dead alpha release
I plan this version to have fully working networking such as dedicated servers and a master server. Also the basic form of the RTS gameplay mode. New graphics.
Link-Dead beta release
This version will contain all of the functionality and gameplay elements I have in my head + bugs and glitches. They will be ironed out in regular updates. This version will continue for an indefinite time until I’m satisfied.
I also want to start making some money out of this somewhere between the alpha and beta release so that I don’t die of hunger in the process. I’m not an academy teacher as some think! I do games full-time. Soldat is my only source of income and its not as much I would like for the work put in it. I don’t have any definite model thought out yet but Link-Dead in contrast to Soldat will not be a free game with paid options but a paid game with free options. I’d also like to get this into Xbox and other systems (OSX, Linux, PS3?).
thath awesome, you making it so fast.
i do wonder what you will end up going with for the payment options for this game. any way that you do end up choosing will be cool tho, i'm looking forward to playing this in some form.
This is somehting to look forward for
Definitely keeping an eye out for this.
