MBP Demo release date! FOR REAL

by Pablo Vasquez · in Marble Blast · 08/23/2007 (3:36 pm) · 20 replies

It is finally here! THE MBP DEMO HAS ARRIVED!!!

And this time, there will be NO delays! This is an actual release date. Realisitic date too. And... that date is September 1st!

What to expect?

There will be over 15 great levels, with a wide variation in skill levels. Some of MBP's finest levels will be showcased, from most of our level creators: Matan, Phil, Ian, Lonestar, Andrew, and Jase. Some of the levels were specially QuArKed and turbocharged by myself (you'll see what I mean once you play a certain level called ... PR.) :)


Installation instructions will be provided with the demo.

So, feel free to go crazy with joy now that the demo is on the way! :D In fact, we are now done every single level.

There's a bit of a "boy who cried wolf" situation going on, so I'm trying not to get too excited.

Even so...

We're not kidding, the demo is actually ahead of schedule. We're 99% done the levels for the demo, Matan just needs to put it all together. :)

One (1) final GUI remaining. Everything else is completed!


Ah yes, and we changed some levels in intermediate/advanced and added another level as a bonus :D

How about we make it so it is downloadable by everyone except Lukie?

Post it on the other forums, and post a link to it here.

I get the feeling Alex could care less if we posted some kind of download on our forums. Over on these we just tell people to go to our forums and that's taken care of. It's not like we're breaking any rules by not posting it here.

However, if posted in a link to a topic on the other forums, they coul dstill get it, without lukie getting it. Notice that Lukie, Solo, and Whirlgig are NOT banned, while Lukie is?

And correct me if I was wrong, but wasn't CMBG gonna be posted only on the other forums?
