There was no fix and final release date announced for Valley and Stadium yet, maniaracer
I for myself fully support the decision to spend more time on ShootMania improvements,
while I appreciate you are not losing track towards TrackMania.
We have been waiting long, so it really doesn't matter if it is one or two more months to be patient.
The better ShootMania gets, the less work you'll have with it after its release (for some while, until you work on the next title

) and the more time is there for TrackMania and possibly also for QuestMania.
Please also don't forget us to participate on alpha/beta of the new titles

In fact, everything is the same as always. Im currently have a reading about software projectmangement, where can I write my application ?
Seriously, it was forseeable and the open beta is a good decision finally. I´m looking forward to V2.1 which hopefully solves my lag problems.
best regards, Jojo

I'm not mad at all with the delay. In fact i'm now happy that my real life friends can now play Shootmania with me.
I know it's not easy to hit a certain release date. I know that from my title pack^^
I am looking forward to the official release. Maybe we are getting new blocks? (There are some blocks in the pre-order trailer which aren't in the game.. maybe in the final update..)
The only thing that makes me a little sad, is because that would mean Stadium and Valley are also delayed..
Anyway, good luck in the future!

forever delayed.
canyon itself were delayed.
and then we were supposed to get new environment every 3-4 months after that, so this means trackmania environment every 9-12 months.
you hylis said you were planing to release 3 titles per year, but in last 18 months, you released 0 titles. i wonder what went wrong.
sad thing is that in last years trackmania lost its position in eSport, you literary went from numer 1 to nobody. isn't this concern?
with shootmania i wish your best luck, but it may not be as successfull as you wish.
I appreciate that you are always so open for discussion, but you are either not honest with us or lost contact with reality.

Even if I am faithful to Nadeo since the beginning, we must recognize that it is not wrong ...

Guys, please relax!
A completly normal process in gaming development:
Beta ... Beta2 ... OpenBeta ... BetaReloaded ... Beta 3.0 ... Alpha-PreRelease-Beta ... Beta-PreRelease-Beta ...
Nothing to worry about! Just give them some more years for testing/fixing and making the chaos even bigger
This mess only confirms that my decision to take all of our SM-Servers (most played and beloved german servers) offline and my whole clan out of shootmania after the beta2 disaster, was the absolutly right decision!
I think i just gonna copy my ingame comments, sarcasm, critics and advices about this ongoing mess:
Click and read: http://www7.pic-upload.de/23.01.13/m5vwu9odeea8.jpg
This should say everything what needs to be said!

(And nadeo should be "man enough" to stand this as the laugh is always on the loser.)

I do not have anything against the push because its not like they make me unable to play, they just keep perfect the game and im happy to test the game and give feedbacks for some more months.
Its sad to have to wait some longer for valley :/

This was planned after the releases of the first tiles in the genres (racing, fps and rpg). When those are finished its easier to create the next one.
Nadeo is very small and I bet they have very stressful days and a lot to do.
I would rather have a few good games than a lot of unfinished ones

And this will remain for a long time until nadeo is back to realism and shootmania back to be some kind of useful
I dont see the sense in this.
Beta 2.1 will come today, lets see what they have picked up from the reviews of 2.0
