Interview with Chris and Additional Season Two Races

In case you're wondering why I occasionally write in third person in the news posts, it's because anything in the first paragraph appears on the front news page of the site where it would be strange for it to say "I" when there's no indication of who the author is.

In other news, we recently posted the sixth week of Season Two race events. It was intended that we would have approximately 260 events over six weeks, but due to player feedback, we reduced the total to 229. After posting the final races, players rightly pointed out that the prize items that they were on track for winning were now out of reach if we were missing 31 events. We weighed up a number of options (such as increasing the payouts for the remaining events) but decided that the fairest option would be for us to add another five days of events (for a total of 260), extending Season Two to finish on approximately June 7, hopefully at least a day before the secret awesomeness starts.

I'm really looking forward to going into more detail about what we're announcing pretty soon. We've been trying hard to make it as fun as possible - there's a lot on the cards and it's looking like we'll have it all ready in time.

Yea, a lot of buildup, but I imagine it will deliver, since I have been happy with most big announcements up to this day.


We try to be pretty open about what we're working on, so the scope of this secret stuff is naturally limited. I'm very happy with how it's turning out, though mindful that I shouldn't raise expectations too high :P

Wasn't the secret awesomeness/0.11.0 patch scheduled for may 29?


Yeah, the patch is going to be deployed at least several days before we turn on certain things. It may be a few days later than May 29, but it's in that ballpark area.
