6 or 86 Refinements Away?
« on: February 19, 2004, 08:03:39 PM »
(Approaching the throne respectfully, hat in hand) ... NOT to put any pressure on anyone ... NOT to start another round of endless speculation ... NOT to be a smart bellybutton ...

but, well, shucks ... (drum roll) ... Does Beta 19914 mean we are 6 or 86 refinements from Aces High II?

Aces High is doing wonderfully as a classic cash cow, and if it existed forever just the way it is, it would be a great game.  

But it's now 2004, and just wondering ... II this year?  If so, which season?  Maybe which month?  

NOTE:  Answers of "two weeks" are no longer funny.

14 days, 336 hours, or 20,160 seconds ... there, we got that out of our systems.

*shrug* depends on if they want all the old planes enabled before going gold...wich they wont cause it will take them at best nearly a year to redo everything not including bombers...

i figure they'll want at least 20  fighters and 4 bombers...

20 fighters at 2 fighters in 2 weeks (1 and a half weeks to do the planes another halfto work out the big bugs in a second patch...if they really push hard) it will take 2 and a half months to do that...

plus

4 bombers at 1 in 2 weeks (1 and a half to do the plane and another half to work out the bugs) it will take another 2 months to do that...

4 months...

Didn't they say bombers take longer with all of the views and larger overall size? :confused:

personally, id rather just have betas with new additions and features, and keep the AH we got now with all the planes etc, until AH2 is fully finished.
