First Release Information
I have just passed the final feature list for the First Alpha release for The Dead Six, versioned at .0.5.0. This version will be made available publicly, as well as the source and tools to start creating your own assets and buildings for The Dead Six, or your own C&C Based modification for CryEngine 2. As you can see, we still have a few more decisions to make about some of the assets, but the list is pretty final. We are going to go with the "Release early and often" rather then "Release once and pray we actually release" methodology.
