I know we all wanna see it, but...It's kinda like customers' yelling and screaming for the next Generation Corvette-we aren't the engineers' and people building it, we've never worked or designed one, we just wait and sob at the dealership door.

If I had experience writing software and developing and marketing a game, I'd feel more like someone who might legitemately complain. But I'm not. So, I say we continue to wait patiently...unless, of course, you could build it yourself?

With any type of game or software or anything really that is in production for a period of time (assuming their is a fan base following development), questions and comments like these are expected.  When there is no news post or updates on the development, people start to talk.

And there is not way around it.  There could be several reasons why HTC does not release a lot of details to the public.  Could be fear of ideas stolen from other games companies.  Or that there are development delays etc.  A lot of which is mum outside the programmers.

From Sudz in the "COMBAT TOUR" Forum.

 Update: Sept 20, 2007

Whew. Now that we've finished with the update and subsequent CTD crushing, we're back to concentrating on Combat Tour.

All the major systems are in place (i.e. AI, promotions/demotions, character attribute point effects, scoring, medal awarding, etc) so we're now onto polishing, refining, and debugging them.

Pyro is currently designing detailed training missions that include voice instructions, graphic pointers, cue cards for non-english speakers (but can read more easily), and HUD feedback among other effects. You'd be surprised at how hard it is to do a proper landing.

I'm currently putting together regular-play missions. These include graphic maps of the country and the routes to be taken, voice instructions from the Operations Officer, and in-flight directions from HQ. Hint: better make sure you keep an eye on your fuel consumption.


Superfly is working on more varied targets than you see in the MA like sub-pens and dams. Also, the terrain is being populated with the actual cities found on the continent. This, in turn, allows us to design more and varied missions with interesting objectives.

As we progress all of us are having to refine code and art. We will be running the alpha testers through the missions as we create them and using their feedback to make sure we put out only engaging, white-knuckled and fun missions.

- Sudz

PS Please God, don't make me read a 'when' question.

among many other, more pedestrian, activities.  Pretty much the same worklist as months ago, just further along.
