ayamo 19 Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 wasn't beta supposed to come out in October-November? I bought the game pre-release hoping I'd get to play... I'm sad now I think it was something between October-December. Maybe it will be a christmas present. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 788 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Hi Jerifan, Beta release date is Q4 of 2010 (so, Oct. - Dec. 2010).

ayamo 19 Posted December 8, 2010 Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Not much time left. Any news/screents/teasers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Monty 2 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Are there any plans to include a play by e-mail mode? It would be great if after ending your turn the game automatically generated a save and displayed a password prompt for the next player. You can PBEM at the moment, but it's very difficult not to sneak a peek at your opponent's operation, even if you're trying not to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerifan2004 0 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 wow you guys know how to cut it close eh.. just over 2 weeks left.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bob neil 0 Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 I will not be pre-ordering this title until PM4E-Australia 2010, a title which I pre-ordered, is officially released. After the PM4E-Australia 2010 release debacle I may never pre-order again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerifan2004 0 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 any chance if they fail to post the beta before the end of the year we get a refund or money knocked off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bawlexus91 27 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 any chance if they fail to post the beta before the end of the year we get a refund or money knocked off? I pre-ordered as well, and have been a loyal customer of theoryspark since 2004. I could not agree with the above statement more. I understand you have two more weeks to release the beta, and if you do, then congrats. But Anthony, in the event you don't, do you not suppose it would be proper customer-service to at least offer a partial refund? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ayamo 19 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 What is a bit unnerving is the lack of information ... P4E and C4E must be two of the best games I have ever played and I am really looking forward to P4E2012. But what about screens, information? How does the interface look? How is the C4E engine implemented? Any new features? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerifan2004 0 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 as for the customer service part I agree been in sales and cust. srvc. industry for almost 15 years and it is far overlooked how important it is to keep your base happy, especially if you fail to deliver on a promise to them.. something Mr. Obama could learn a lesson about. Ok </end Obama rant> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tippins 2 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I have also pre-ordered PFE2012, and would love to try out the beta immediately. However, I understand that 80soft is an independant software publisher, and may lack the resources or personel to consistantly realease their products in a punctual manner. I have devoted more time playing my theoryspark titles than any of the "big developer" games games I own; I would prefer that 80soft continues to favour quality over haste. The beta may be slightly late, but it's not like the election is going to happen any sooner. Go easy on the little guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerifan2004 0 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 then they should have used different terms they said "is" as in a firm promise. "on or around Q4" would have been more correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 788 Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hi everybody, The Beta probably won't be released on time. This is my fault, and I apologize. Full refunds for pre-orders will be offered on request ( http://www.theoryspark.com/interact/contact.htm ). I have re-worded the text so that the Beta release date says that it is an estimate. I will send an e-mail as well regarding this within the next several days. Anthony Burgoyne Lead Game Designer http://www.TheorySpark.com Games that spark the political imagination!

I guess I'll be the second one to ask. Anthony, is there any chance you could provide us with some sort of an update as to when you suspect the beta will now be released, especially given that you were able to predict several months ago that it would be out by December? Now that it actually is December, shouldn't it be easier for you to narrow down a new release date? Just a customer eager to hear something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 788 Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I've just sent an e-mail out about this.

Alfonzo 117 Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 So what's happening with PM4E Aus 2010 then? We haven't had any updates on it in a long time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
admin_270 788 Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 It is being completed. An official release will probably be released before P4E12.
