I want to please the community but the map I am working on is so big and there is so much to do to it. I guess it doesn't help that if I think something doesn't look good enough I work at it and work at it till im satisfied.

My question is should I release dod_caen in alpha stages before its completely stable/playing properly/brushwork complete, etc to let the dods community enjoy it? Because I fear that if I wait there wont be as many people interested if I take to long to complete the map.

So what do you guys want? Vote for me if you would. I would like to know what the community feels.

1)Release it already! We don't Care what it looks like we just want to play!

2)Release it but I think you should keep working on it to its full potential

3)Keep working on it as hard as you can till its suitable/stable/looking good.

4)Work on it till its perfect! I want to only play the best!

5)Release it to a select amount of people for testing and go from there.

judging from the screens i guess it would already be fun playing it just as it is but still my vote goes for no. 5

take your time.

i think its better you made gameplay tests with players first. you need good critics to complete youre map near perfect!

A closed test, find some clan/group that will let you use their server for a closed test. I bet if you asked in here you could find one real quick.

Definitely option 5.

The sooner you get it tested, the better. I'd go for option 5. More than happy to playtest it on our UK server.

SunLit would be in for a playtest
#5 ftw
PM me if you are interested

yeah, i wouldn't release it to the public and keep working on it because then you get all the different versions that servers have. thats the amazing thing i see with a lot of the camp maps, there will still be servers playing the _b5 or _rc2 versions of the maps.
