State of the Development

Knowing that Valve does not put any pressure to the dev teams because basically they earn enough money with the Steam store and they create games for fun.

What is the percentage of the game build is done before a potential release?

For me we are close to 80% - 90% : The map is pretty ready, the game core mechanics are there.

The only thing that could be improved is the number of characters and the balancing between them.

Virtus Pro just bought some players this week. I am pretty convinced that they are not paying one or two year salaries if there is no release. Furthermore with the org history with Valve games, I suspect that they have some insights with some Valve workers.

I'm pretty convinced (or hope) that an open beta release in less than 3 months and the official release for this summer. More characters will be added in the next months too.

What's your thoughts?
