Release is set for 15 October 2006

The release-date for GameBiz 2 has been set to 15 October 2006. The beta-testing of the game itself is mainly finished. No big bugs have shown up lately, that could endanger the release. The final game will be available for free download from the homepage of Veloci Games. The first release will still be missing some features which were originally planned for this release, but have now been scheduled to a later release with version 2.5 in March 2007. Since the hosting of a 15 MB download is pretty cost effective - not even taking into consideration the countless hours of work done by Nino and his volunteers - please consider donating what you can afford and what you would have paid for an commercial game. You may just think about the prices of them late games for mobile-phones - GameBiz 2 should be worth an equal amount, don't you think?
