We are releasing the YRCW Community Weekly Poll, which will ask you to tell us which city you are living in. You can vote here.
If we don’t have a new update this week, we’ll be back tomorrow to announce the poll.
To make things even easier, we’ve made the poll live on the IRC channel #yrcw, so you can use the poll on your favorite IRC client and vote from there. If you vote yes, we’ll put it in our newsletter. If you think you should go, just shoot your vote in the poll and we’ll see which city you live in, and you can vote again from any IRC client.
The poll is open until midnight on the day after the release. So if you are out of town or don’t have a cable/internet connection, you can vote once per 24 hours. However, if you are in the city and the last update was yesterday, well forget about it.
If the poll is not open on the date above, well then you are probably the only one who did not get to vote.
As it turns out, yrcw’s release is coming out on a Thursday. Not only does that mean that a lot of people will have already voted, but it also means that it will be available in two weeks. It also means that the release will be a lot more significant, as it will be the one for which we were most actively working.
It is also worth noting that yrcw is in beta at the moment, so there is some testing going on with it and it is currently limited to the US and Canada.
yrcws is a game that will come out for the PC and Mac, so it will be available soon enough. It will probably be the most significant one we’ve made so far, and I am excited to see how it plays out.
I’ve heard that the release date is going to be a lot sooner for the Mac.
The game will be released sometime in spring or summer of this year, not sure which. We will have some news on that soon though.
