Alpha Yet? Over 4 Years Now.

Apologies. It has been over 4 years since this project has been sitting in UE4.
About 4 years ago I made a post here that others could try out the UE4 basic tdm shooter, see: http://www.urbanterr...4-test-ue4-out/
I've seen a lot of progress on maps (Frankie, nice stuff), but why is there not a basic single map tdm after more than 4 years? Certainly there could be despite the entire game not being finished yet.
Yesterday I took down the last of 1up's Urt 4.2 servers. At one time 1up had almost 20 Urt servers (4.1).
I invested quite a bit of money into coding, having special things made for our servers, hosting, etc., since 2008.
Ten years later and devs here are still trying to tweak an engine that is from 1999 for versions of 4.3. Why? Let that go, move on please.
I'm off to force myself to play Insurgency, COD versions, and other shooters. I've got no choice. I can't hold my breath another 5 years.
I understand (and have for ten years) that the dev team here are all volunteers, but on the flip side, many longtime Urt players have waited
for years upon years upon years, and there is no end in sight.
Good luck.
I'll look back in from time to time.

Hi Ronaldlee, nice to see you around.
We're doing another 4.3 release because some important security fixes have to be made, and we took this opportunity to fix some bugs in the meantime. I'm pretty much the only developer working on this release, and it only took away about twenty hours of free time. It's a drop in a bucket compared to the time we spend working on Resurgence, and it was very much necessary.
I understand that the wait for an open alpha must be frustrating for you, and be sure that we do everything we can in order to let players like you download it as soon as possible. We already have several maps and game modes which are deemed "stable" enough to be played, but we still have a lot of bugs to squash before going public. Remember the bad PR around all the bugs and very early WIP stuff that were released with UrT HD alpha: we definitely do not want to live this again!

Yes, there are chances that an alpha version will be released later this year. This is at least what we're aiming for, and we are getting closer to that goal thanks to the amazing work of our volunteers. Don't get too excited yet though. As we've learned over the years, many things can and will go wrong in the process.
We'll probably release a private alpha to a few selected players at first, before going public. I can't give you any more details for now!

I have a group of 6 guys that play on the LAN every day during lunch break at work. We would be happy to alpha test for you. :o)
