Re: SEV Betatest...
My wild *** guess: MM page will be some kind of April Fool's thing (poisson d'avril)
WAG2: A really slick new page, with shinies.

Re: SEV Betatest...
I couldn't get through to MM, so im posting my first beta report here. The SE5 DVD came by courrier, but the USB enabled organic brain that the note says was for the AI was "damaged in shipping."
The glass is broken, and the postman has sealed it in a plastic bag. I think part of it may be damaged, and the electrodes seem to be bent. Please send a new one?

I don't think so. My guess is that MM decided to look creatively for origins and create brand new trend in CG - 3D ASCII graphics! That's why after site upgrade you will be able to access it via telnet only (to sync it with new se5 interface).
Proof:
1) DG mentioned several times that he designed game graphics in retro style. ASCII is a maxim of retro.
2) Have you seen computer specs for se5? No! In fact se5 won't work with you athlons, p4, geforces and radeons. Anything better than i386 and trident 512k will cause an error "Please downgrade your computer and reinstall the game".
3) There was an anxiety that modern CG will ruin great gameplay of se series. It seems Aaron decided to listen to this opinion and to not bother with fancy effects. 256 colors are more than enough.
4) Such approach allows to minimize expenses for development. |

Re: SEV Betatest...
Rebuttal for proof 1.
DG mentioned he created reto-style graphics for Dungeon Odyssey, not SEV!
