| "The Diamonds Team (tentative name) is glad to announce that the First
Playable Version of Diamond Crush, a largely incomplete pre-alpha for
offline
multiplayer gaming only, has been released today at 10:00 AM (CET) in
three
different versions, for Windows, Linux and Linux64, onto the official
game
site, found at http://www.diamondcrush.net, and active from now on.
This day
is definitely special for us, since producing something as real and
concrete
as this playable version is truly a hard task for teams whose members
are
spread throughout a whole country, as we are spread throughout Italy.
Collaborative projects led by non-professional developers rarely see
the
light, and we're proud to have reached today the first, and hardest,
of our
goals."
The game has been developed in java 1.5 using agile development
methodologies,
such as Test-Driven Development (TDD) and Extreme Programming (XP),
both
adapted to a context where the development team isn't located in the
same
place, but spread throughout a whole country (as Italy, in this case).
