For the date and the price, see my last post. For news: official forum.

That last one is a snowmaker?

Yep.

Yes as Dr. Frankenstein please visit our official forum http://forum.mountain-tycoon.com for updated news and information about the game.

As for our site. It will not be out for a while. This is becuase we want to have a demo and release that with the site.

As for the price of the game we are planning on trying to get a publisher to release it so that it can be bought in stores.

Unfortunately though in the past few weeks development of the game has slowed, ALOT! Members of our team are having time constraints and our artists are just getting an updated SDK so hopefully work will pick up this week.

Plus I just got back from a short trip so i wasn't able to keep watch on the game. I just gave out the SDK to other team members today because our head team member has not been online for a while.

New Mountain Tycoon Screenshot. Note - The background is a real life picture not from the game. The lift is by our newest artist Kyle. This is his first model for MT!

Isn't that modeled after a real custom gondola terminal? (I forget where it is)

I don't know what that lift is supposed to be but I only see one haul rope. Some type of jig-back lift?

...or just a bug.

I've seen this terminal on a pic...

Weird, T-Bar towers with gondi cabins :D

looking good. After playing srt2 lately and extreme, itll be nice to have something better. I like spm but its kinda annoying getting all the staff trained and all that, but I lost it so I havent been able to play it for awhile.

I'm looking forward to the release of the game....

I think a lot of people are, myself being one of them. I promise to keep the screenshots coming. We need more artists like Bart who do great work. Also I am pleased to announce that I have Version 1.1 of Mountain Tycoon. This means that the game is progressing. We hope to get major things like the build system done in a month or two.

Mountain Tycoon will begin Beta Testing within 1 months time. A beta tester among other things must be willing to test the game extensively, find and report bugs, and offer suggestions on how to make the game better. Beta testers will be under the direction of me, Mattlab, and also Ironraph.

Applications will be submitted through a website which has not been made avaliable to the public as of yet. We would like however for people who are interested in Beta Testing to go to the following link and post in our sign up forum.

Click here to go to the official MT Beta Testing Forum

There is a preliminary sign-up list located there so that we can better gear the sign-up site in regards to amount of potential applicants and testers. Directions on how to sign up to the preliminary list are posted in the sign up forum of Mountain Tycoon. Once on the list you will be contaced via PM on the Mountain Tycoon Forum when the actual beta testing application process begins. We will take into account that you have posted on the preliminary list in our final decision process.
