Its a really bad practise to shipping pre-Alphas to your costumers but you not even try to clean up the mass a bit, so it wouldn't looks so bad at all......
For exemple things you should have done bevor rushing out the Game:
- Make a new manuel for the Game, its looks pretty pre-Alpha like to read the manuel and see all the conent/features etz you cant find in the "Retail" Game......
- cut the Butons/menus out of the Game that have no use or being broken/useless because of missing content/features in the "retail" version.....
- and last but not least. delete the Dungeon Lords Beta Tester Forum, it looks really badly for your reputation to see 4 Threads and 4 Postings @ "generell discussion" and 3 Threads and 3 Postings @ Bugs who probably suposed to be just stickys.
Visitors on this Forum could get the idear that the forum was ready for a beta test that never hapends because you rushed out the Game.........
The own Reputation is the most important part for a Company to survive and when you selling pre-Alphas you should at least do it descent like other Publisher do............
