Friday 2010-08-27 Dev. update and Discussions

There's alway's a lot of critiscism of little graphical 'faults' when the update comes along.

It's easy to pick faults with a screenshot from any game, WIP or released. Ultimately it's the videos that will really show us what's happening. (Surley there must be something video wise soon?)

Sometimes I think that posting the stills is counterproductive because it gets down to very minor details very quickly as there's so little to see.

I think we've been spoilt with some pictures that show incredible details; I feel, though, that a video would just be awesome to detail some of the great new features. That would be enough to cover a load of updates, which clearly must be a nuisence for the team.

A video every 2 weeks instead of pictures and everybody should be happy.

And a video doesn't need more time to capture.

I'd be happier seeing a crappy wireframe version of a dogfight with loads going on than a close up of something thats just flat in every sense.. (no matter how good it may be)

If you stare at even the most beautiful persons face for long enough you'll find fault, video would show us the games soul, give a better sense of the overall feel feel of it. What's going on inside.

That short video of the spitfire over the sea has told me more about what SoW is going to be than the screen shots. I've never seen a sim move quite like it.

I'm not hasseling anyone for videos by the way! In your own time!

By all accounts the game isn't in Beta yet so a video may be some time coming.

I've finally figured out the 'Tree' phenomenon.

We've been working on the assumption that 'Tree' is a person posting on the forum, and trying to make sense of the postings accordingly. This has proved impossible, but if instead one assumes that 'Tree' is a computer-generated pseudo-forum-poster, his idiosyncrasies make sense. His endless predictions about the future release date for SoW:BoB, each different from the last, can only be indicative of a program which is reset on a regular basis, and thus has no knowledge of previous predictions.

Sadly, I suspect that 'Tree' isn't yet in the Beta stage, so accurate predictions may be some time coming.

hehehe good one. Tree reminds me of one of those relatives that we all have that we just have to put up with and be nice to at Christmas dinner. Mind you this place would be a little duller without him.
