Beta-testers access period and Migration to Release version

Post by David »

All active beta-testers will be able to keep accessing the game for free until it is officially released.

The official release date will be determined by the stability of the beta and user feedback.

We will soon announce a scheme for pre-ordering the game at 50% discount ($19.99 x 50% = $9.99). Those of you who find the game worthy of purchasing, may opt to pre-order the game. The pre-order offer will expire upon the game's official release, and the game will be set to the normal price. We will announce in advance a couple weeks prior to the game's official release, so that you can decide for yourself if you want to go for the 50% discount offer, and continue to play the game after the beta program has ended.

The pre-order will also be offered to people who are not registered beta-testers. The details can be read from:

If you have any concerns about this plan, please let us know. Your feedback is always welcome.

Yeah that is an insane discount.
Do not mean to stop this for users that may have limited funds, but 50% is in the upper echelon of what a pre-order should be.

Will you be able to get enough funds to justify the work?
Considering most that are interested in this game will buy it at an early stage.
Dunno, but 30% would be closer to other pre-orders out there.

Anyways, happy to take advantage of such an offer. :)

DairyMan, if you buy with your credit card it will automatically translate the US Dollars into Euros at the current exchange rate, and usually with a minor fee of a couple percent. So you should be able to buy the game just fine!

It is our intention to offer 50% discount as a way to thank early supporters of the game, and the 50% discount will keep running for a few weeks. During these few weeks, we believe that there is sufficient time for our early supporters to opt for buying the game, if they wish. After that, there is a possibility that we will reduce the discount rate for pre-orders.

Sounds good.
I know I will be buying the game on full release.

Hopefully support for the game (And AI) and improvements will continue well beyond release!
