A lot of what is going on at IV is top secret as you can imagine. But we thought we would give you a brief update to what we are up to in ‘The Flying Hamster 2.0’.
Currently the development team is busy with various projects with priority on Darwinia+ and of course Multiwinia Mac. With so much going on the development team have decided to adopt the use of more screens to make sure a lot more work is going on at the same time. The photo below is of Johnny K showing us how it is done. Some say Johnny K is in fact a robot sent from a distant planet, I like to refer to him as the Wizard.
Screens: Left (Mac) Middle (Windows) Right (Xbox)
The development pace has really picked up a notch with deadlines and milestones getting closer and closer. There is no rest for the wicked and certainly no room for failure, that’s not an option. Stick with us as we are on it and running as on scheduled as an independent games company can run.
So what else has been going on…?
We have been testing D+ recently to iron out the kinks, when I say testing I don’t mean the fun beta testing. I actually mean the nitty gritty menu testing making sure everything works as it says on the tin. My only advice for anyone who hasn’t tested a game before is that no matter how much you test, small details can be overlooked. Game testing is not as glamorous as people make it out to be. It involves detailed concentration and not just eating chocolate and sitting on your lazy a**, pressing a few buttons on a d-pad running through the options menu. Game testing can be stressful and has its risks just like any other job/task/occupation; by far the biggest risk is suffering from RSI from tapping buttons like a Lab Chimpanzee all day. Game testing is not for the faint hearted and I strongly recommend checking with your local GP if you are fully able to perform under intense demanding button tapping. A regular health MOT never hurt anyone.
On that note I better get back to testing and sitting on my backside eating chocolates.

Of course they have. They definitely couldn't handle outsourcing the Mac port to Ambrosia while handling the Linux port, duh.

It's hard to read sarcasm on the internet =/
It seems that you managed to do so, however. Kudos.
