We've had a few meetings over the last month in an effort to prioritize and effectively delegate our features duties. We've decided that it would be more prudent of us to save a couple of our more complex features for an update - after release. The decision was made because we want to get it right the first time; We want the entire mechanism to work and provide the experience we intend; We want to take as much time as we need to continue development of these features and not implement anything with haste; Finally, we know you're itching for release, and ultimately, if we continued development of all the awesome features we intend to institute, you would have to wait at least 3 more months, possible even before you see a Beta, which would push release back to Summer. (...More)
Already you've all exhibited tremendous patience. Part of my job at Malevay studios, is to balance my duties between the company and the community and be an advocate for both. I am your voice at roundtable meetings, and I represent the companies interests when dealing with the community around the Meeroos. I know that many of you have been with us since our announcement in mid-December and have eagerly awaited photos or news from us regarding Beta phases and release. Moving forwards, as we debug many of our features already on-board, we can focus primarily on getting those release ready, and spend plenty of time after release on continuing development. This will keep content coming and keep your experience fresh and exciting!
I know you're thinking; "Do you have a date for Closed Beta?"
In short, no. Not yet, but I am pleased to say that where once our tunnel of work seemed so long that we couldn't see the light at the end of it, the re-prioritization of our work has revealed that light and it's won't be long. In fact, probably close than you think!
Thank you all for sticking with us and contributing to the wonderful community that has grown around the Meeroos. I'll be back with more soon!
