When should TFN be released?

Can't wait to play the beta. Or rather, I can wait, since that is what I will do. If the community play the mod as a beta until christmas, the public release will be polished and bug-free indeed, I am sure.

Agreed, I figure 2 months of Beta testing by 30+ TCI forum members will be more than sufficient for fixing bugs. During that time Malkav and I can fix fix fix AND create the other 3 missing player models/skins. We can also put in some last finishing touches and incorporate small ideas given to us by you guys!

I'm REALLY on board with this Halloween = Beta, Christmas = Public Release idea.

Beta testing is literally a test of the product so it can be tweaked and fixed before final release, so it won't be a patch pretty much, unless TFN is made that way of course - but from what's been said before it's standard CE procedure

You will want a fresh new copy of Bloodlines so I guess you won't be Beta testing.

You need a fresh copy for every bloodlines mod you're using. Beta or not.

Then you'll have to choose what you want and what you don't if you can't get more space, simple as that really.

I've just made ghosts of most files so I can restore and alter content without taking up all the space.

lol i can remember my old days^^ my first pc (5 years ago) had a 1 GB hdd, than i upgraded it to a 6 GB^^ when i turned 14 and got some money i got a 250 GB hdd... few month ago i got another 1.5 TB hdd^^ so i have plenty of space for maaaaany copies of vtmb

Well, when I started, it was 2M of RAM and a 40M hd. And that was a lot

I used stone tablets and cuneiform.
Get back to the subject, fellas

I have simple solution.Release 11 playable clans around Halloween and who doesn't like that he/she can wait till Christmas for complete version.

That doesn't really sound like a solution. At least not like one that pleases the majority. Otherwise, we would've arrived at that by now, wouldn't we?

@Eliza: Why not, I think everyone is pleased.Except majority..........

I mean look it at my perspective, I want to play it as soon as possible because when Christmas comes I will be buried under books (Cause I am final year of Gymnasium and have to prepare myself for College) and I probably won't be able to start my PC, yet alone to play TFN.That's why I want to try TFN around Halloween because I probably won't be in deep s**t like on Christmas.Hope you understand it.

We understand, but also understand that you are the only one with that problem, so....

Study up front, young one

Yeah, well, and what am I going to tell? I'm going to be stuck with my nose in my school books from this week until summer '13. And that's when hell will really start. Come on, we can't please everybody here, but we can always try to find a way that both parties can live with. And I think we have already found one ... the beta at Halloween, the full version around Christmas. Or did I miss something?
