Four years ago on April 1st, Padworld Entertainment released the World of Padman standalone game, a free and colourful first person fun shooter for the whole family. Since that time we added a lot of new stuff to the game, released a couple of patches and finally released WoP 1.5, a revised and polished version with a couple of new features. You players always had to struggle with a long timespan between release dates and that's why we want to change the development and release strategy in a more open and community friendly way.

WoP 1.5.2 beta

Today we release a WoP 1.5.2 beta patch for open beta-testing. It's an attempt at involving the entire community into testing the game and we hope it will result in broader feedback than the closed beta-test we experienced while developing WoP 1.5. This time we focused on the server-side code and added some new features like stereoscopic 3D (from ioquake3), new cvars and fixed some bugs. We also added a few experimental gameplay tweaks. Therefore we made some changes to Boaster, PadPower and holdable items. We know that there are still bugs and game-play issues left to fix but they are often map related. We hope to fix them with the next beta releases. Furthermore we removed some stuff from the menu. If you are missing important things drop us a line.

Starting at the upcoming weekend, we will provide a beta-test server (PadWorld Entertainment Server) running WoP 1.5.2 beta for open access. It will be invisible to older versions of the game. Furthermore we'll provide a beta test section in our forum for the community discussion on features and feedback, so sign up and join the community. If you want to report bugs or request a feature please make use of our bug tracker and create bug tickets.

By the way, this is not an April fool's trick. :wink:
Have fun, your WoP-Team

[Update: April 1st 2011]
The beta server is up and running.
