The Developer Webchat

As many of you will be aware last Thursday night hosted a live web chat in the Ultimate Football Live website chat. There was a good turn out of people with around 10-15 people online in total throughout the 2 and a bit hours of chat regarding the game. The official summary of what was said can be found here: http://uflive.com/blog/development-blog/61-ufl-faq-4

From chatting to the developers it is apparent that the game is making rapid progress towards the alpha stage of testing. It is important to stress that initially alpha testing will be undertaken by developers only as part of the closed testing phase as quoted upon the Ultimate Football Live homepage. As of yet we still do not know for sure when closed alpha is due to start or indeed when public alpha, which should feature around 50 or so of the finest forum members, will begin in earnest either. However, it was mentioned that the team name reservation facility should be coming online at some point during April should everything run to plan, although the potential for it to run into May remains a possibility, which is a promising development.

In fact April is set to be a big month for Ultimate Football Live. It marks the anniversary of when the project initially began last year. The web chat revealed several hints that the anniversary date may well be marked by some sort of event although what exactly it will be wasn't specified. Whether it will be something quite small such as the release of new screenshots or whether it could be the starting gun for closed testing is subject to speculation. But what we do know is that it will be definitely be worth keeping a close eye upon the Ultimate Football Live website to find out exactly what is being lined up. 

As always stay tuned to the Floodlights for the latest information and analysis from the world of Ultimate Football live...
