Actually you could post a picture of the studio where you're working on the game or just anything relating to it - and everybody would be excited.

So, I think that releasing screenshots into the wild will be less effective than making proper announcement. Our goal is to communicate on both sides: directly to the players and also with the press. It requires us to wait a little with players, but it is not bad since it will reduce the time to wait between screenshots and the release ^_^
It will be a private Beta, the chances that you or me plays it is over 1/1000.Kaldra wrote:Actually you could post a picture of the studio where you're working on the game or just anything relating to it - and everybody would be excited.

However, nice to see you're way more community orientated than I am accustomed by the BattleForge developers, unfortunatly I haven't been around in the english forums with Trackmania 1, only been active in the german deepsilver forums, but that will change with Maniaplanet. I guess not only me but many people will support this game and work for new content - just take the time you need.
Last wish: Please don't release the Beta shortly before my exams (starting in february) - that would kill me. xD
The chances that a normal player will play the Beta are maybe way less...but hey, who's a normal player?redfog wrote:It will be a private Beta, the chances that you or me plays it is over 1/1000.Kaldra wrote:Actually you could post a picture of the studio where you're working on the game or just anything relating to it - and everybody would be excited.

You have right but, Kaldra is not just a player, he is a important Person in the German Community!redfog wrote:It will be a private Beta, the chances that you or me plays it is over 1/1000.
Not that important I think...just doing something from everything, nothing highly engaged or known by now.^^EmRe wrote:You have right but, Kaldra is not just a player, he is a important Person in the German Community!redfog wrote:It will be a private Beta, the chances that you or me plays it is over 1/1000.
(That's my opinion)
And i think that Nadeo-Team chose the Player from each country. ( I hope so )
People who live in France have not much chance to the Beta i think, because is a big Community with Important People.
And i hope that Persons from old TMUF Beta are considered.
And now have Kaldra more chancen than 1/1000 !
Example: Player: Insomnia, he is not just a TM Player.. He is the founder of et-generation.com
FACT: This is only a presumption from me, What the NADEO-Team will do, knows nobody right now
Sorry for my bad English !
) you have to find bugs and report them, suggest and all that stuff.
