Topic: When should I release a Sci-fi Bashfest mod Public Beta? (Read 998 times)

Hey, looking for some advice here.

I have 156 Star Wars models- obviously, I'm not going to use them ALL in the initial mod release, I'll add them in updates.

I intend to release a public beta soon.

If you don't know what Sci-fi Bashfest is, it's a Star Trek vs Star Wars mod, and if it gets enough support, after Star Wars is done I will add BattleStar Galactica (already have 4 models of that) and have someone add Babylon 5 for me (since I never watched that show), turning it into a real 4-show Sci-fi bashfest

As soon as it is playable! (a couple ships of each class, and working bases)

At what point in the work should I release a public beta?
As soon as all the well known canon ships from the classic movies (ANH through ROTJ) are ready
As soon as the well known canon ships from both the classic movies and the new movies (episode I and II) are ready
Once most of the well known canon ships are ready, and a considerable number of Expanded Universe ships are done as well
Don't release a public beta
I won't play it and don't care

Don't you dare choose the last option :P

Well? Any ideas?

At the point its at now, I already have several ships for each class playable (and have been testing it via TCP/IP with my personal group of beta testers), and just have to get working bases.

I already released a SFC OP Sci-fi Bashfest MONTHS ago! Many months ago in fact! Almost no one on the forum took any notice at all, either. Fools!

However, since all the Star Wars ships had to use ST UI's like the constitution, it wasn't the most realistic mod...the SFC3 version that I'm working on will be way better.

I would include all the models in the beta so to update to the full version they just have to get the new specs

Well, people are GOING to notice Sci-fi Bashfest SFC3. I've put more work into it than any other mod, and it is incredibly fun to play- the beta testers I have (well, I only have 2, maybe 3 soon

) absolutely love it.

If people don't notice I'm gonna shove it down their throats

After all, its one of the few unique mods that has ships no one else have...in fact, 156 ships...only maybe 30 of the 156 ships I have are downloadable on their own, I have quite a few mods no one else in the world has on their PC's but me and the original authors (and in some cases one or two other people).

People had better notice or I'll grab their heads and do this
