Matt,

Thanks for the very kind words. We have been working like mad on this game, and we hope it shows.

We will be trying really hard to make a first public release within the coming year. Whether this will be a beta or "production" version is hard to say at this point. But our aim of releasing before the Mayan apocalypse is still very much on

Dimitris,

Thank you for the reply. I have loved strategic and tactical naval warfare since the advent of Harpoon and Dangerous Waters. I tried to get into Harpoon ANW, but it's just too glitchy. I know you've run the poll on your website about types of releases, have you and your group started leaning any partiuclar way, ie paid beta, modules or work it until complete? I have personally found the paid beta very accpetable and allowing me to track the bugs as the other users catch them too. I don't think in my 20 years of pc gaming, that I have ever bought a single title that didn't require a patch.

Thanks and have a great day.

Matt

We are carefully considering the future path. As you know, a false decision at this can destroy an otherwise excellent project.

Dimitris,

Thanks again for taking time to reply. I am certain no matter which way you go, it will be well supported. Just know it's been a loooong time since a decent modern naval game has been put out and am certain there are many that cut their teeth on Harpoon just waiting to dig into a more updated engine and grpahics. Now, get back to work........(whip cracking..)

I am impressed. I don't have any explanation of how this project got past me but, it did.
I'm heading over there to sign up at the forum. I hope there is a mailing list in order to keep
old fogeys like me updated. This is certainly a must buy.

Heh, I kept thinking of Dr. Evil orbiting Earth: "It's frickin' cold in here!"

LOL, thanks for that,because now everytime I look at the video I imagine seeing a frozen Mr Biggleworth staring out at me from an orbiting capsule!!!
