For Fun


Ok, I know - we haven’t informed you about the progress for a long time, so this post should be long and boring. However, I’d like to thank you all, who are reading this blog and visiting us time to time. Thank you for those comments - we feel your support.
Also, I’d like to thank those, who has donated to this project and I assure you - we are not stopping on this development.
We are working on the system, so it becomes as stable and as easy to use as possible.
Thanks again.
We are taking a short Christmas holiday from development and after that you will soon see the new design, made by Skyruler.
Our little team would like to wish you Merry Christmas and have a great New Year.

Hello there. You know, I needed a little time-out so I thought that it would be great to spread my experience from another games for you.
Well, my online gaming experience (not only text-based games) is quite big. I’ve started with an old game “Fate Lords” (also made by Lithuanian programmer, then it was “Playteq”, “America’s Army”, “Street maniacs” - another Lithuanian product, “Macropoly” - and another one ;) (still existent, but not that popular as it was), “Hobowars”, “RaceD”, “RaceD2″, “Trackmania”, “CritticAge”, “Andatura”, “Hattrick”, “rFactor”, “WarRock”… I could continue, but I think thats a big list already.

Introduction
Let’s get things clear: this post is about online games advantages and disadvantages based on my own experience. As well, at the end of the post you will find some updates on Mad For Speed progress.
I’d like to take my chance and tell you, that this is just my own opinion, it may differ from the one you have, but discussions are a great way to find the best solution.
Let us begin…

Hey there!
It’s been more then a month since we have posted news last time. Let’s fill this hole with some information.
What’s been happening around all this time?
Well, I have almost finished my work with the forum, made some changes to our meta keywords generation from news, as well as I have written the requirements for the game.
Again, we had only a bit of time to work at the game, as Skyruler has some problems in his personal life, so do I. But, hell, we have not forgotten and we still are working at it. Yes, it will be finished and released. Yes, we want it to be as interesting and fun to play as possible, that’s why it’s so long in development. We have played a lot of similar games, but they were unfinished, with lots of bugs, having nothing in them that would exclude them from the others. None of them were very realistic, or they were too hard to play. Yes, we are setting ourselves high objectives, but that’s all for you - players.
Oh, and we’d like to brag a bit. This game is still in development, but unique visits are stable and standing at about - 35 per day.
This shows, that there are some people, that are interested in this as we checked - most of the visitors are the same (about half of them comes every or every second day, all the others visit us less recently or only once). We are happy to see this and we hope to get a lot of players after we launch the beta release, because the more players we will have, the bigger competition you will have.
It’s always more fun to be in TOP100 from 1000 players, then from let’s say 300.

I think it’s about it this time

P.S. some statistic graphs from Google Analytics:

Welcome to the year 2007. We wan’t to wish you all the best.
Let every day meet you with a smile, feel happy, live in joy.

While for us, this is gonna be another hard year, trying to bring Mad For Speed to the public. Still, both of us most of the time spend in our jobs and with Mad For Speed we are working most of the time at night (of course only if we don’t party that night somewhere ;) ).
We want to thank all of you, who were waiting for this game to be released, for all your patience. This year it will happen!
We have to big goals this year - to start a limited users beta testing and to start an open beta testing.
Follow the news and you will always be informed about these events.

So, have a great year, best wishes,
MFS-creations team
