ZC Beta reporting policy?

[Cronic]

Kratheous would like to run a beta reports update for AZC and we needs ta know what can and cannot be discussed. If anything I think it's time we informed them of the dual platform guns DN is packin Or was that going to be a suprise for the next pub beta?

Either way I'm not really sure if policies have changed since the rebuild so I thought I'd make sure.

Well, War Lord is pushing me to release this as version 2. And soon. I say that if a feature proves to be fairly bug-free for 2 beta releases to you guys, that we can go ahead and announce it.

As for announcing the Windows port... It seems pretty stable at the moment. All but like 2 or 3 or the port-related bugs are gone now. Thoughts?

[Cronic]

I say we do it... The only thing I could possibly ask out of ZC now is for less flipping in the Link sprites, and swords and such so that graphically things can be more independant, but even that is only cosmetic and good to o in the future, but as for now 1.92 has been drempt of long enough... actually how about we just hit em with 2.0? :) 2.0 was supposed to be the win port right?

That's what War Lord said.

I think we should shoot for one month... April 1st :) I came in on April 1st of lkast year, and 1.90 came just after that so it's just under a years development time.

I *really* hate rushing. I've decided to take an "it's ready when it's ready" approach. Remember the problems with 1.90? April 1 would be great and all, but I am currently severely limited as to how much I can work on ZC. Basically only early in the mornings before work and on Saturdays before noon.

Oh that's cool. I guess I just assumed we were pretty close

It's never close enough. DN keeps on adding stuff to make it better.

DN, I think it's your baby and only you know when it's time to give birth. WarLord and the rest of us will wait till you're ready. I would rather you were satisfied with it before it's released as 2.0. You've done (and are still doing) a wonderful job and we all appreciate it muchly!

Wow, the ZQ screenshots are working now!

(Sorry for bringing this back, but I'm still not sure, and I just now am getting around to the update... *mutters* Stupid homework.)

So can I, or should I not announce it on AZC? This is one thing I defintately want to make sure I got right. ^_^

Sounds good... Does anyone have a list of all new features that have been put in, and are still currently in (thus not counting Din's Fire, and the Lamp)? It'll make it much easier.
