Internet Archive Circa June 1998: Release Schedule

From: http://web.archive.org/web/19980630164608/http://www.shareplay.com/schedule.htm :




                                                                     Schedule

Panumbra will be never final. Its features and game world will continually evolve. We plan to release a new version every 3 - 4 months.

The current release schedule as of June 24th, 1998:


Panumbra 2.0 (demo release)Already released, click here to play it!Click here for features included in the demo
Panumbra 2.1: Well folks, it takes longer than we tought ...mid July, 1998Click here for what has changed compared to version 2.0
Panumbra 3.0 Beta testNovember, 1998Click here for features included in 3.0
Panumbra 4.0 Beta testnot scheduled yetClick here for features after 3.0
Panumbra 5.0 Beta testnot scheduled yetNo feature list yet. Leave your suggestions on our Webboard
Production release of a version follows every beta test in 1-2 months, depending on how many problems are found.

We reserve the right to change any of the published dates (duh). Expect changes as published deadlines approach.

Notice that version 1.0 is missing? Version 1.0 existed, but it was an internal version only. All you could do is create characters, move around in a world loaded from the database (connection to the database was a big achievement), and track each other. Not much fun for play testers... (but essential as an internal development milestone).
