Ssnake im SB.com Thread Steel Beasts: Content Wish List
"I just finished the first draft for the release notes (took me three days to compile everything since version 2.654). Managed to compress the page count from 52 to 49 thanks to Helvetica Condensed type at nine point size (just for the bug list... otherwise it's all at 9.5 point, I'm not that cruel).
Our ability to include wishes listed in this thread is minimal at this point as the code freeze is rapidly approaching, after which it's mostly a matter of testing and fixing bugs, or fleshing out things with more content (=no development risk). That said, you will find many elements from this thread in the new version. Not everything, but a lot.
I hope that by eliminating redundancies in the text I may keep the total size of the release notes at under 75 pages ... we'll see how that goes. What's clear already is that it is undeniably the biggest upgrade in Steel Beasts history, with a number of rather fundamental changes.
This just as some little info about what we're doing at the moment. Volcano has done an incredible job with new sounds and the daily grind of integrating new 3D artwork and the associated quality control. The artists have left almost no 3D element without a brush-up. There have never been as many new vehicles, never been as many new playable vehicles than in this upgrade. Dozens of contributors submitted new scenarios, map files, localization packages, tutorial PDF documents, tutorial scenarios, and more."
