I leave for vacation the 10th.
Maybe if my friend can't grab me the LCE, I'll just buy it in Poland.

GOLD means the game is complete, tested and ready for production and distribution. It's the third stage, Alpha, Beta, Gold.

Great news! I'm certainly looking forward to playing the rest of it.

Congratulations to the Human Head team! You guys can finally throttle back the crunch-mode machine and take yourselves a much needed break. Cheers to the Venom guys as well!

I'm also very happy for 3DR. To those who've been there since Prey's beginnings, it must seem almost unreal at times to finally see this game through. (Now, if you could just get that other monkey off your back. )

It's just a shame W.S. isn't here to see it - I'm sure he'd be pleased with it.

Gold means that the master disk has been created and the retail disks are being pressed as we speak. The delay is caused by packaging and shipping of said disks. There, no more confusion.

I think that would be a nice thing to do, maybe couple that with a small letter explaining how his vision has finally seen the light of day, even if she never installs it I think she would appreciate that.

It'd be nicer if you could deliver it in person...but then it's easy for me to say that, after all...I can't even mentally picture anything bigger than the UK let alone something 1701 times the size! :|

Still, great Prey has gone GOLD!!! \o/ Although I'll be avoiding #3dr and these forums til I have it in my hands.

Regards,

Yickle.

Re: Prey Has Gone Gold
Good Job guys... congrats!!! THis is great news...

Just one thing... not releasing the game in US and here in Europe at the same time is going to loose you lots and lots of money!! You propably already know that Europeans are the nr1 in downloading illegally software and games. And with Prey releasing 3 days before Europe, many will not want to wait those days and will download it from a US version. So i think this is a bad idea for you, and for us...

But once again... good news!!

Re: Prey Has Gone Gold
Oh man, after all these years the game is *FINALLY* Done! Alot of people all over who waited for this game around 10 Years must be real exited that this game has finally been completed. I guess congradulations are in order for you folks at Human Heads and 3D Realms.

How do you guys over at 3D Realms feel about the final completion of this game, Joe? Feel real exited? Planning on launching a huge house party?

I wonder how Joe would've reacted in 1995 when he posted on Fidonet the first message about Prey, had someone told him that Prey would go gold in 2006

BTW, does Google Groups archive Fidonet messages? I'd like to retrieve that post.
