With beta 1 out of the way, we can focus on more diverse and unique sections of development rather than getting the base of the game working properly with the design. So what is headed our way after beta 1? More modes of play (including a 1vs1 duel king of the hill w/spectators gameplay, with kung fu integrated). Other upcoming updates in Existence will include more maps, characters, kung fu, weapons, objectives, sounds, music, etc, etc, etc. This is only the beginning, we can go much further and get much more innovative.
We would like to thank everyone who has supported the development of Existence up to this point, the ones that will continue to do so, and grin at those who doubted the project.
Existence beta 1.o will officially be released on Friday the 7th of September, an irc party will be held prior to the release in which the URLs for the beta will be given out. Following is the irc party information:'
IRC SERVER: east.gamesnet.net

Ever ready to increase the size of their popular portal services, the broadband and Dialup ISP provider, BTOpenworld, have now introduced the UKs first Games-On-Demand service:
BTopenworld Joins Forces with Leading Games and Software Publishers For First UK Games on Demand Trial
Software To Go (http://www.btopenworld.com/stg) is an initiative which, for the first time, enables UK broadband users to rent quality games over their broadband Internet connection. The progressive streaming technology solution behind the Software To Go offering has been developed with Exent Technologies, the leading developer of Applications-on-Demand (AoD) technology for telecoms and broadband services.
The trial is available to all UK broadband users, including Btopenworld broadband customers. To take part in the trial or get more details, visit:

John Raczka, Senior Vice President of Content, BTopenworld said: "BTopenworld is pleased to have attracted a number of leading publishers to this new area of games on demand services in the UK. BTopenworld is committed to providing the best possible broadband experience for our customers making online games a pivotal part of our overall consumer proposition. This is only the first of a number of exciting games initiatives we have in development for this year."
While the services seems to hold some promise, we can’t help but wonder how long it’d be before somebody cracks the system. Such things have been tried many times before in the USA and failed.
