Jumpgate Evolution Delayed

Netdevil’s President Scott Brown has confirmed via the official community forum that development of Jumpgate Evolution will continue on beyond its planned June release date to allow for ‘further testing and polishing’.

“One of the things we’ve always promised is that we would not release an unfinished product, nor would we subject players to a sub-par experience,” he said. “The worst situation for a developer is that our game does not meet the expectations of our fans.”

The decision was taken soon after the game entered the ‘friends and family’ phase of testing. “We’ve been able to bring new eyes onto the game and get solid, crucial feedback from actual players and fans. Based on these results, it is clear that the product needs more time to meet its objectives.”

Brown goes on to explain that NetDevil would rather delay the release than let fans down by releasing an unfinished product and that they will continue development and extend current testing schedules.

“This means that more people will have more time to give us the vital feedback we will need to improve the game,” continues Brown. “Once we’ve established our road map for the next few months we’ll share with you when the revised release date is.” Our money is currently on September.
