After weeks of beta-testing, the latest beta version of Capitalism Lab has become more stable and we are now slowly opening it up to more registered beta-testers.
In this round, the first 25 people who registered on the CapLab beta-testing form will be granted access to the beta. (You will be asked to enter your username and password in order to run the game.)
We will grant access to more registered beta-testers once the game has proven to be stable enough to support more people beta-testing.
For any feeback about the beta version, please post them on the CapLab Beta Test Feedback forum at:
viewforum.php?f=10
(please note that this forum is only accessible to users who have already registered on this message broad.)
We have just opened up the beta to the next 30 registered beta testers.
If you have registered on the beta-test form and you wonder if you can beta-test in this round. Here is a list of users who have been added to the CapLab beta-testing user base:
I don't know how to become a candidate for beta testing, but I hope you will let me participate in the next round of testing when you add more testers.
I would like also to know if there is any spot open for next round.
I have played capitalism 2 and capitalism plus and I play lot of business based games and real-time strategy.
Beside Capitalism 2 being my favorite business game, I play also Wall Street Raider which is a market simulator game from Ronin Soft. http://www.roninsoft.com/wsraider.htm
The beta-test registration form was available to public registrations for a couple weeks and it now concludes this round of beta-testing.
The next round will be an option of pre-order of Capitalism Lab, with access to the on-going beta and the release version.
We plan to offer a 50% discount for pre-orders of Capitalism Lab ($19.99 x 50% = $9.99). When the beta testing is complete and the release version is going to launch, the price will be set to the normal price of $19.99.
The 50% discount reflects the fact that the beta version may contain bugs and there cause inconvenience to early adopters. On the positive side, the users will be able to access to the game sooner.
We would like to hear from you if you have any concerns about this pre-order program, before launching it. Our plan is to launch it in 1-2 weeks unless we hear concerns that need addressing.
I'd definately preorder. I've been waiting for addon/sequel for well over 5 years now. I cannot wait! More than worth the bugs coupled with the discount.
. Please include me in any future beta version as well if there are any.
