Maniaplanet, a new adventure

[Zooz]

Does this mean:

1.1.2011 - 1. envi TM²
1.4.2011 - 1. envi SM
1.7.2011 - 1. envi QM
1.10.2011 - 2. envi TM²
1.1.2012 - 2. envi SM
1.4. 2012 - 2. envi QM
1.7. 2012 - 3. envi TM²
.....

Is this correct? of course not exact dates, but in principle

or

1.1.2011 - 1. envi of TM²/SM/QM
1.4.2011 - 2. envi of TM²/SM/QM
1.7.2011 - 3. envi of TM²/SM/QM
.....

The first thing you described, not the second. Although I doubt releases will be that regular

waiting 1,5 - 2 years for 3 TM²-envis would be long

Let´s hope TM² will be prefered
like this^^
1.1.2011 - 1. envi TM²
1.4.2011 - 1. envi SM
1.7.2011 - 2. envi TM²
1.10.2011 - 1. envi QM
1.1.2012 - 3. envi TM²
1.4. 2012 - 2. envi SM
1.7. 2012 - 4. envi TM²
.....

I guess it would be more like that...But in fact, we all don't know

Wo0o0o0ot!
Nadeo finally reveals the plans for the future!

I must say i'm really impressed by this idea of an unified mutltiplayer ànd multigame online experience.
There was allready some speculation on this on the official tm forums (i read the English and the French to be sure not to miss a thing), and it is even better and "bigger" than expected.
Props on Nadeo, this really is something never seen before in gaming history and if the open source character and the people of the existing TM community are jumping on the bandwagon this is going to be the next best thing to sliced bread.

we are not sure yet. It depends on the tests and developments here.
the best scenario would be the first one (well organized) but maybe we can release an extra one on the first year, or only three. Once the story starts, I don't think we will wait 9 months for a new tm² env, but maybe 3 months for a new maniaplanet env, even if people can skip one if they don't like or the last ones if they are less interested.

so, this
1.2.2011 - 1. envi TM²
1.5.2011 - 1. envi SM
1.8.2011 - 1. envi QM
1.11.2011 - 2. envi TM²
1.2.2012 - 2. envi SM
1.4. 2012 - 2. envi QM
1.8. 2012 - 3. envi TM²

is more likely to happen

Sounds excellent!

I only hope you won't charge us of money for every new environment. even if the prices would be little I would have little fun paying every 3 months for having the full content. One thing you could do is making the virtual money possible to buy environments. But free would be best. Team Fortress 2 for example shows that it is possible to bring out free updates regularly.
But I trust in you guys and I believe you make the most costomer friendly platform you can get.

TF2 updates are much smaller. Nadeo has done that sort of thing too with PowerUp and TMS Extreme and the Forever update.

There is no way these environments will not cost money. That's just not possible at all.
