Team Arena GONE GOLD!

216
Hey its GONE GOLD! The expansion pack for Quake3 by id Software, TeamArena has been just announced as gone gold by Robert Duffy in his .plan update. (update: Forgive me for I have sinned! A gold announcement without a minithumbnail rampage? Ok here's some of that stuff added)

Team Arena is Gold. :-)

Source code was made available earlier today to MOD authors so they can prepare their mods to be compatible with the 1.27 point release. This will help get everyone up on the same rev of the game at the same time. The point release ( 1.27 ) will be released a day or two before Team Arena hits shelves

As soon as Team Arena is on shelves, full tool source code will be released as well as new executables and I beleive Graeme will be releasing the ROQ compiler as well. These are all good things. I am going to get Timothee and the GTKRadiant crew tool source in a day or so, so they can prepare that flavor of the editor and tools for the masses.

The official combined game source will be released during the same time period as the tools. This will be the integrated Q3A and TA source base.

Thanks to everyone that assisted with testing during the beta cycle and feedback during the demo.

Todd Hollenshead mentions in his .plan update that Team Arena could be appearing in some US stores as early as next Friday. The demos as well as binaries for the Mac and Linux versions should be out "soon".
