Hi Raul, Well, working with public betas is something of a two-edged sword.
On the one side, it has been extremely helpful. I've had a wide range of testers who have found bugs, problems, and so on. working with the same people who will be playing MOTA 1.0 has resolved a lot of design issues early on and helped me get things right before 1.0. So rather than releasing one or two major betas in which I might have to rewrite or correct a bunch of code at once I chose to break it down into smaller beta cycles and fix things as I go. On the other side, though, some people have been immature about the process. Some people demand their own way, want the game right now, insist on modding it, or whatever. I suppose every developer encounters a few bad apples now and then, and the best a developer can do is take the good with the bad. Find out if the value of public input is worth putting up with the bad apples too. Smile. On 8/22/11, Raul A.
