Plan for Adrian Wright
by Adrian Wright · 11/07/2003 (8:50 am) · 4 comments
Max Gaming has spent every second since IGC preparing Dark Horizons: Lore for a large beta test. For those of you who played it at IGC, and had the opportunity to get in on the first wave of the beta, I think you will see we took your comments to.
This has been an experience for me unlike any I have had before. When we set out to obtain 1,000 beta testers, having no promotions about the upcoming beta, I really did not think we would reach our mark. However, with the help of Jay here at Garagegames, Homelan, and over 150 news postings which included Happypuppy, Homelan,
Planet Tribes, Mac Central, Mektek, Gamespy, Opengl.org, GamersHell, Happypequin, Mac radio, garagegames, Warcry, and many more (look at www.darkhorizons-lore.com for a more complete list) we would not have been able to pull off achieving almost double the amount of registrations we wanted.
So, I just want to thank everyone who has helped us get to this stage of the game, and with this large of a beta, I know we are going to be able to create one heck of a game.
I look forward to seeing many of you in the beta, lets rock and
roll!!!!!!

I do want to thank a very special person in my life seperately, my fiance has been a great supporter in this endeavor, from us getting phone calls at 2:30 am in the morning, to us even postponing our wedding til after IGC, she has been there for me through the good stuff and stressful stuff surrounding this project. So in closing thank you Jen, and I will not postpone our wedding next weekend :)

RE your comment at the end: It's great to see you publicly say 'thank you' to the greatest supporter / friend / co-conspirator you'll ever have :-) (I say that 'cause that's how I feel about my wife and how understanding she's been too. Time to drop by the shop and pick up some more flowers :-)
