We’ve picked a tiny handful of the pre-order group to become alpha testers based on how many other betas they’ve participated in, forum karma, and a number of other criteria.
Those of you not in the alpha, fear not, you’re not missing very much. The beta is scheduled to come out around PAX (Penny Arcade Expo).
Be forewarned, we plan to close the beta shortly after PAX and it will remain closed for some months. Those who want to get the beta can pre-order the game.
I am leaning towards beta 1 being only cloth map in order to let beta testers have more input on the game mechanics (fewer assets to change if we accept a suggestion).
There will be an Alpha tour later this week (possibly tomorrow). Stay tuned.
I'm pretty sure you just violated your NDA by admiting you're part of the alpha
Good luck for us all!!!
I just hope that because they are starting Alpha/Beta they keep putting out tidbits! I always hate when other games start the testing process with live testers and you can tell because suddenly the little tibdits stop! And we starve!
Whoever Get's into the Alpha, Break it good! Means a better game for when they go into Open Beta! *whispering* They are still planing on an open Beta for people who have pre-ordered right? *crosses fingers*
Actually, I think someone else already said it's via e-mail...
It's like Schrödinger's cat. As long as I haven't yet gotten home to check my email, I'm in a state where I'm both in the alpha and not in the alpha.
Well then someone else violated the NDA Or they heard it would be e-mail from a Stardock employee, and I'm just babbling nonsence
Yep. Was mentioned in another thread as being around PAX, which is a month away...
not that I'm any more patient then you right now. Hurry up and get here September!
Ooooh. Alpha.
*Hopes he gets in*
Please September?
I hope SD lets us know when the emails are all sent out at least.
I wonder how many folks a tiny handful is
I think they said around 100 emails , the chosen few
Actually i was told on impulse... but ill check my email again...
I forgot to ask. How was that vacation Frogboy? cloudy skies?
I hate you guys for not giving me karma..oh wait I didn't pre-order yet anyway..ah well.
You nonsense babbler you!
Sounds like a lot of fun to be had. Best of luck those that are in the "draw".
