Hey everyone,
I just stumbled on this site by sheer luck and nearly wet my pants. For I was one of the lucky few who "got" Pandora Tomorrow and Chaos Theory multiplayer. I've searched the forums for a bit but haven't been able to find the answers to all my questions. Anyway, if any fans or developers are bored and can point me in the correct direction...
1) How is this game being released? Is PSN, XBLive, Steam etc... a viable route?
2) How many people are currently working on the game?
3) Is there a pay structure laid down yet? I was one of the few people who plopped down 20 bucks for In Rainbows (Radiohead) when it was offered off their website because I like supporting artists that I enjoy. The developers look to be doing a fantastic job and I think many of us would like to show them just how much we support their efforts.
4) Are you taking more cues from Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, or combining the best of both worlds?
5) Is it possible to "remake" any maps from the aformentioned games or are there legal issues preventing such attempts?
6) What is the development teams biggest need at the moment?
7) How are you getting the word out to players? It seems like marketing is an issue for such a small dev team.
I guess that's it for now. Keep up the excellent work! I think it's safe to say that we're all pulling for you!

Hi,
I'll try to answer your questions:
1: We don't know yet. Most of those services demand a game in its later stages, like beta. We're not at that point yet.
2: A few people have joined recently, and some older devs might put in some hours again, so it's hard to say. I guess about 5-7.
3: No, not yet.
4: Best of both, and then a lot of love from us, basically removing annoyances in gameplay, while enhancing it with some new ideas.
5: We will not do that for that reason. If people from the community want to pay an hommage to the other games, that's their decision.
6: Good environmental artists and maybe another specialized programmer, but mostly the artist for now.
7: When we have something big to show again, you'll see ;-)
I hope that helps :)
Frvge could you pls specify who is working on each part of the game developement, thank you.
When we're a bit in shape, maybe, when they can present their own work, or I list it a release or something.
frvge,
Thanks so much for the response. You guys really are doing an impeccable job. I was just curious to your response to question 4. Can you divulge what new ideas your team is planning on implementing? Is there a place on this site that goes into that? Thanks again and take care.

A few ideas have been discussed, a few others haven't crossed the community's mind yet ;) Hopefully, more gameplay will be done shortly.
Man I cannot wait for any little snippet of info
