Development Blog: Question Topic

[Peter]

We all know some of you are interested in the new Las Venturas Playground gamemode. With over 70 people requesting to be a betatester, ten developers and frequent questions involving the release date, there isn't much one can use to deny this fact. Until now, most information has been private until the final release, however, this will change for the new gamemode!

We have setup a simple blog, based upon the forum itself, on which all developers are allowed to post information about their newly created features. This has a number of advantages, as well as disadvantages. Of course, it allows you to be informed about updates and progress at all times, but this does also mean that the release won't hold a lot of suprises anymore. The rules for developers are quite simple: they are allowed to post anything they like, in-depth information, screenshots and even video's involving the to-be-formed betateam, as soon as their feature has been completed and tested. This means that, at the peak of development, there will be multiple updates every week!

As is the case with most forums, there are a number of rules attached to the blog itself. First of all, it isn't a place to request entirely new features. If the post tells you about a new gang-base, you are not supposed to blatantly ask about the race-features. You are, however, allowed to ask about in-depth information of the system: available features, weapons and changes compared to our current systems. It's up to the developer whether he answers your questions or not!

The new blog can be found on this location, and you are able to reply to posts using your forum account. Have fun posting!

On behalf of the LVP Development Team,

Not bad. I think more information about upcoming features gives us somthing to look forward to. Keeping such things secrets gives us nothing in my opinion. Its a bit like SA:MP, With the next release, they havn't told us nothing, so not that many people seem to be as intrested, well, compared to other releases anyway, such as 0.2.2.

The whole point of the blog is to give information. As said, a few updates a week - way more than SA-MP has ever done to my knowledge.

However, by not giving too much away we can build some excitement and such, and have a run up to the release. If we told you everything about the gamemode, what would you have to look forward to? Discovering things you already know?

I agree with tomozj

Its more good the surprises,The Players can be more intrested.
