Huh, I've read the new posts I missed for long time and I'm just shocked, comfused and hmm, hard to tel what I should think about this in general.

First of all, I can understand everyone complaining about release dates etc. I'm working on one project but rather than giving a specific release date I'm waiting when I will be able to do that. Jake is actually setting a trap and closing himself inside, why? He's promising over and over with every next game and actually this is what I hate, what most of the gamers hate so much and no matter big companies are doing the same, it's something to learn from and for sure not to follow.
Regarding the promises about unique, exciting, superior and innovative game? yeah, I hear that a couple of times before and as I played most of the games (all probably) from Breakerbox I need to say every single one is buggy as hell, navigation there is making these more frustrating than fun and lastly, sound design isn't high quality for me. Most of the sounds are from other previous titles and many times there's quality / volume problems.
Now I'll be probably called 'RUDE MEMBER' what I'm not care about to be fair. I just expressed my opinions without attacking someone or something like that. I hate devs who are actually using this kind of tricks and as many members of this forum knows me personally more or les know, I'm a kind of guy who will SUPPORT CREATIVE and UNIQUE and AMBITIOUS projects. I've learned in the past how to react on this kind of situations and sometimes it's better to not say anything and ignore it than arguing, preordering a game, waiting for it for another year or so...
As my final word here, cheers!

i agree with jayde in his last post, my english skills aren't enough for writing something like that, yet. as a side note, it is funny how i can read and understand things no problem, but when it comes to writing, i keep forgeting words hahaha.

If you consider a truthful indictment of character flaws down-putting, then that's your issue, not mine. If you'd care to quote specific bits where you think I was too harsh, however, by all means show me the passages in question. Hey, I'm no saint. I've gone off the high side before. If I've been too harsh in my criticism, I'll be the first to own it and offer an apology for harsh conduct.

However, let me accompany that offer with a caveat.
Calling you out isn't the same as putting you down.
Saying that you aren't cognizant of the effect your opinion has on people, or impugning your ability to see how the world works, is a statement of fact. It has been demonstrated beyond all reasonable doubt. It is not a personal attack. I did my best, however, to accompany it with an explanation of the issue, so that rather than just seeing it as a criticism of character, you might perhaps understand, if not agree with, the point I was making.
In other words, don't quote something where I've been very direct, and cite it as a personal attack. I'm looking for offensive language or personal insult here. If there's any of that, let me see it, and I'll grant you the apology you deserve for it.

Lacking that, however, I'm sticking to my point. In essence, at this point in time at least, I see what I did as the "good complaining" I alluded to in my last post. I was firm, but I don't believe at present that I was overly harsh, especially given that the targets of my complaining had already displayed a wanton disregard for the feelings of others, which is most of the reason I spoke up in the first place.

In other words: don't poke a bear and then cry foul when he bites you. If you can't stand being criticized in the way I did, maybe you should consider more closely the way your words might affect others. Your right to free speech is inviolate, but so is mine; if you don't like something, speak up, but I'm going to do the same. Most of all, if you expect good results from a complaint, it is a really excellent idea to remember that the target of your complaint, no matter how much they might have hurt, upset, bothered, betrayed or otherwise done you wrong, is still a human being with feelings.

So have on. Please show me where I've been overly harsh. I'm all ears, as the saying goes.

  What's different from that and telling a game developer he/she clearly doesn't know anything about what they're doing given the evidence?
Basically nothing. Don't tell others to criticize nicely and do the opposite in the same post. At least if you're going to make a point, stay consistent: I don't debate with those who are unable to do that. You want to do that type of criticizing? I do it to, I'm not going to call you out on it: what you said to Danny, well, that's just an example of criticism. But then don't go and tell people to word their criticism nicely if you yourself just finished telling someone they don't know how the world and people work, based on opinions they've expressed. That doesn't add up. Anyway, Sean Terry is right... this is rapidly deteriorating. I'm done posting here, because I've spoken my piece.

No!  No no no!  Freedom!  Liberation!  All without responsibility or virtue!  Let's all start a free for all fest!  It's free to join, free to speak, free to riot and free to be freely free for all and from all...  We won't tolerate those who are intolerant of this freedom and liberty and choice for choosing not to be free... Oh wait... Um, never mind... Proceed with your topic as is... forget I said anything!

So, has any beta version been released yet? It should have been send to the testers now, out from Jyros last post.

he said it would be out within 2 hours 6 hof! ago. what does this developer get out of talking utter rubbish and expecting us to believe it?

The first test build is out. So, hopefully the game will be out soon.

Hi there,

I honestly have no idea; you should email jake and ask him. The testing is going on via a dropbox folder. Maybe if you email jake and ask him, he'll invite you to the folder.
Good luck.

Hello all. I'm in the testing team. Since i don't want to create a file in the drop folder with my question here it is. What should i do after i find the body of the coatchman?

I will say this, the Ghost seems to be back. you can seem to walk through walls, and with the new running, the sound of the character while running seems to keep playing even after you let go of the shift key.
Edit
Hi again. I just want to let you all know, I've added a comments and feedback.txt file to the dropbox folder to help Jake keep track of the issues people may have with the test build/s of the game.
