Thanks to AfterShock and Jesse for the Dev Journal's.
 

Just sayin thanks for the two recent dev journals. Keeping us updated is always appreciated.

Yeah thanks for the good reads. I particularly liked the part in jesse's where he went:

Because he said gong and it was a typo but he got his oil changed at Walmart and you can buy anything at walmart and maybe now i think he could have actually bought a gong.

still not a beta tester after being on the forums for 2 years. And being 32 and @somewhat@ mature. God FF is killing my self esteem :)

/cry in my soup.

Well at least he suggested a release date.. implying that main parts 1/2 months away.. also as he did suggest that this may carry into summer..



Hey puppychow, if you make it in, put a good word in for me =p

The whole forum are beta testers, how can you not not be.

im along aside ya man. our time is coming :)

thanks for all the screens too guys!

I didn't get my oil changed at Wal-Mart, you fuckin' failed the reading test.

There is a reading test to play FF?
Yay?

lol

Pretty much, http://forums.fortress-forever.com/s...ead.php?t=8800

Good updates from both Devs I thought. Can really see the enthusiasm in AfterShock's post - making me want to get my hands on FF more and more :D

Yeah nice journal Shok, can anyone link me to the leaked video that was mentioned?

the next phase is adding 500 testers right? :)

Stop waiting for someone to make a journal post before making your own >:(

Does that mean I still can't beta?

Which beta tester shat on Jesse's doorstep? Kick him out, I'll take his place :p

jesse you forgot to mention that the forced movement lasted forever (death, class change, reconnect, etc)

I like how AfterShock acknowledged that his HUD was awful rather than blindly screaming "NO IT ROOLZ!!", very well done. You sound like a great person to have on the FF team. I look forward to seeing your approach to the stats system :) Will it have a globalized stats system like Dystopia ( http://www.dystopia-stats.com/ ) ? If so, will you still be able to generate invidual server stat pages (This is missing in Dystopia)? Also, will you be able to store your own stats locally for EVERY server (Listens, LANs, whatever) and be notified when you improve on one (TF2 style, e.g. longest life as <class>, most kills as <class>, most deaths [lol], most kills in a single life). If you put in a local stats system be sure to have "Time spent looking at stats", I lol'd when I saw that on Wipeout Pure :D Makes me self-concious about looking at mine.

Query : did you fix the hitboxes yet?

Answer from a beta tester: the very, very, very beginning of the stats system is being tested right now. I honestly do not think anything of what you asked has been decided yet. Basically the devs are trying to get stuff right little by little. When they figure something works, then they set on improving it.

I mean the new... er... thing that is a thing, pretty damn cool. And the dude's new thing! Totally awesome, seriously.
