Judy's Log - October 31, 2001


It has been a exciting few months getting this game ready for
release. I have worked on so many areas of the game. Today we
got our rating. Our ESRB rating is a "T". I guess it is
because of some violence in the arena's. No matter what, most
young children would not be interested in playing this game
except for our grandchild Bethany. She had loads of fun this
summer playing the game. This is Ryan's child and of course
games are drilled into her head.
We have been corresponding with several publishers and distributors. It is a very hard decision. We have not been in a rush however as you can tell. Seems that the more the game is done, the more choices you have for a publisher or distributor. We have not rulled out anything. All scenario's have their good points and bad points.
I have not been able to play the game for a while. The team has been working so hard on every part of the game. I think the guys are now getting to the point they want to play a finished game with many of you on the message board. BTW, as Business Manager, don't suck up loads of their working time playing this game with them , o.k!!
We have been receiving many of the signed NDA's, however several have not come in yet. We will release the beta game to only those we have received the NDA's.
We are still on target for March release. It is a tight schedule however. By waiting for a publisher, we can make sure this game is ready when shipped. The team will do its best to have it bug free.
