ORIGINAL: BumMcFluff (1) Why could ADG supply a demo, buggy or otherwise, and Matrix cannot? And exactly what crime have I committed in wanting to be able to see for myself the "progress" being made? (2) I do not want a demo from ADG, as they are no longer making the game, and thus it would serve no purpose. I simply want some tangible evidence of forward movement. And, I am sorry, but I can not accept a statement from someone stating that "we have achieved such and such" as proof. I could claim to be Wolverine with the same precision. It really proves nothing. By the way, even a release date would be on shaky grounds, as that has been claimed before, and we all know what the results of that were. (3) I don't want you to violate anything, but I don't see why I have to trudge through endless number of posts in the vain hope of finding an answer. Unless someone can point me to the exact post I need? That is one of the points of a forum after all, isn't it? P.S. I know I am a sarcastic smart-arse, but it has been close to a decade now! Maybe more, I've truly lost track of the time. (1) CWiF took 10 years to get where it was at and it was no way near finished. CWiF did not have a demo it had an open beta. We eventualy even convenced Patrice of this. You want a demo of MWiF to prove exactly what? MWiF is a closed beta. The beta team does post screen shots from time to time that have to be approved by Matrix (Steve aka Shannon V. OKeets). Steve also posts status updates on this thread from time to time. Baring "Acts of God" like Link to: Earthquakes. (2) "Tangible evidence of forward movement" the maps, unit descriptions, the tutororial, and the interface are not enough? (3) You don't want to search and you will not except as progress: the tutororial, the display of the interface, the descriptions of the optional rules, Patrice Forno's work on the maps, Greyshafts, Captains, and a host of others work on the unit descriptions. None of which were available with CWiF. P.S. I am pretty sure your right about WiF being worked on for over 10 years. But the oldest file I have for CWiF is the pdf of the charts 10/22/01. I deleted previous versions of the game as the new ones came out. I do have the list of all the changes made to CWiF from version 0.0.30 to version 0.7.61 but no dates for the changes. I belive Patrice was involved with the beta before version 0.0.30. I you have questions on a particular part of the game post you question and someone will reply or post a link to help you out. But as I said before the NDA does limit beta testers responses.
