Every month, we'll be putting up one new wallpaper in the Hero6 Discussion forums by the Hero6 team. These cool wallpapers can be used on your desktop, or as MSN backgrounds. The first  wallpaper (http://visitors.hero6.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=491) is up now, so do check it out!

If you wish to submit fanartwork to Hero6 (wallpapers in this case), you can e-mail them to me. If it's selected, it'll be added to the Wallpaper collection and credit goes to you. :)

What? Who says we're giving up on making hero6? No one has said that to my knowledge, and we don't plan to give up on it. We've a lot of dedicated members who are determined to see this game finished.

*Rolls eyes* They don't ever give up on that stuff, do they? Geez. Hero6 is almost DONE. Like, near the Alpha phase. Which is bug tests.

And if you have complaints that it's taken so long, well, consider this. The Hero6 team is people. People need to eat, sleep, and take breaks. Furthermore, they need money. So they're juggling Jobs, eating, sleeping, and making sure they don't turn into zombies. The sheer fact that they keep the SITE up and running is impressive, much less the fact that they're making a GAME.

Don't get me wrong, I'm eagerly anticipating Hero6. But be patient, people. It'll be done soon enough.

I wish people would stop sending barbs at the project, especially since it is almost done.

Not only that, but it appears that the team's preparing for something really big soon. They're really excited about something, and are working very hard towards it, though I haven't a clue at this point just what it is yet. As soon as I know the details, I'll update everyone. :) Wish me luck!

I bet it's either a new demo, or a surprise release of the game.

Either that, or a trailor release. Maybe. Assuming someone did it in their own spare time. Assuming they had time TO spare. :P

Good luck. I plan to get this as soon as it comes out (if not sooner).

Er, no. Alpha is really everything before and including putting the game together, plus a few bug tests but only initial bug tests. I'd prefer to state the Predevelopment phase is before Alpha, and Alpha is actually putting the game together, but that line is rather blurry by definition, as sometimes you make internal demos and tests and those can be Alpha or even Beta before the full game is put together much less testable.

Beta is bug tests, bug tests, and more bug tests of the full game. Therefore Hero6 is still in Alpha after 6? 7? years... but it should be Beta sometime soon. Hopefully!

I don't really know though, because since I left the team people just tell me that work is "going great". Which doesn't really mean anything unless backed by facts of HOW it's "going great" but hey. PR has it's job to do, right?

That said, there is definitely something going on... and it's big. And I'm not too sure of the details but am trying to find out more from various people who would know what it is.
