Did you guys think all of those youtube films and screen shots starting last year, of what Hitech has been working on since last year, was just an upgrade to the existing AH2 code? It's all there in his and Skuzzy's words since last year.

What did you think he has been doing all of this time? And the request by Skuzzy for alpha volunteers along with screen shots from the alpha on the HTC front page. No one has to be from HTC to pay attention to all of that.

Or are you guys acting like my cats when they get caught being bad and go through all the face looks starting with "I did whuuuaaat", then "reeeaaally", then "that wasn't me"......"ooooohhh, look, a speck of dust!!".

Must be some speck of dust I guess......
That's seriously your response?

Do you know if Alpha testers are under NDA or not?

I heard that alpha testers are like game moderators, nobody knows who they are but they're everywhere  :noid :noid :noid.

From what I've been told I would absolutely assume no.  Additionally, it appears that it wasn't mentioned in the solicitation thread either.  But, because I have NOT spoken directly to Dale OR to Skuzzy, I cannot be sure.

It would be very unusual for alpha tester not to be covered by an NDA I think, and i agree that they should be.   If they werent, I think we would have much more knowledge of what's in the new version by now.

Testers agree not to divulge anything they see when they agree to take part in the beta.

So alphas are clear?

In the sense that NDA's are legal instruments, yes.  There are worse fates, however.

Bustr I agree, you and I know from being in the AH3 testing from the very beginning the thousands of hours that have gone in to this upgrade. I am sure the same old whiners will still whine because it does not fit their idea of how the game should be played.  :old:


Why isn't AH3 considered a major upgrade?

You only have one guy programming all of this. He can keep programming AH2 or he can program AH3. AH3 no longer uses the same video and terrain programming that AH2 does. So there is no longer any point to fixing or creating anything new for the AH2 code. AH2 cannot evolve any farther.

Unless the next major upgrade in this audience's unspoken mind is. Hitech lets you dictate how to create AH3 to save him from being "too out of touch" with 2015  progressive game styles. That kind of filters through as the heart of all this doom, gloom and drive by recriminations with premature obituaries.

This time around he's not making you all partners in the process like he was more willing way back when. So you guys are declaring AH3 dead on arrival because you haven't been consulted.
