Yes, in the past FarSight has been mostly quantity. I feel our Pinball games have always been high quality though (also our highest rated games). Many game studios do one game at a time...and if the publisher drops the project or goes bankrupt (has happened to me in previous jobs), the studio...
I worked on all the backyard games and PHOF games as a Sr Programmer. And was Lead Programmer on Game Party 2, 3 and In Motion, as well as PHOF: Williams for 360/PS3 and Pinball Arcade. And while the Game Party games are the lowest rated games I ever worked on, they were also the best selling...

Our rep is in Luxembourg to be exact. Valve is headquartered in Bellevue, WA, so I'm not sure why our rep is in Europe.
I got a response from them on the keys, we're working out the details. As soon as I have something more definitive we'll let you know.
As for why I didn't ask sooner, I saw...
Just for clarification. Physics are updated 60 times per second on all platforms as a minimum. In some cases (ball near the flipper) we update 360 times per second for more accuracy. Speed of the ball also varies the update timing. If the ball is moving really slow, 60 times per sec is good...
I couldn't ask for codes before we had a game setup. Once we got setup on steam, I noticed a page where you can request keys. I figured that was how you do it. A little over a week ago I tried using that page and realized I couldn't do anything. So I'm guessing I either don't have...
I've asked Steam about beta and keys. I'm awaiting a response on how we go about getting those. Our reps are in Europe, so the response time is a little off.
My understanding is we will get a list of keys for the Beta, then email them out to those on the beta list. That person will need to...
Don't hold me to this, but I think the plan is to have all tables up until current. Since it's being handled on Steam there is more security in allowing out all tables.
We still plan to do a Win 8 version separate from steam. That will be sold through the win 8 store. It'll be compatible with win 8 tablets as well. I believe it was put on hold for other platforms and Steam. We feel Steam will be a bigger market (reaches Win XP to Win 8).
Also the Win 8...
I haven't been able to fix the full screen issue yet. I'm trying to get management to put out the beta so we can get feed back on fullscreen from multiple hardware setups. I have a feeling it'll work in some resolutions on some PCs'.
From all my game development experience. We have 3 major milestones. Alpha (feature and content complete), Beta (Small amount of minor bugs, almost, if not all major crash type bugs fixed), and GMC (Final submission for release). Those definitions vary a bit based on publisher.
Testing on a...
QA reported a few bugs. Only one major one to fix before we can do a beta. The issue has to do with fullscreen not working in some cases.
We should have some news about the beta this week I imagine.
