I was thinking that Canada Beta testing was more for testing servers under pressure for free to play public titles (farmvilles, MMO etc.)... Why a company wants to test an action adventure game to a such a big audience if not to test the iaps system? Drummerboycroy Well-Known Member Apr 2, 2012 4,172 0 36 Clinician Maine! #16 Drummerboycroy, Oct 29, 2012 Of course these days we often end up with premium games AND IAPs, sooo... Here's hoping it's more of one or the other, and not both... DBC Jdragoon19 Well-Known Member Nov 29, 2010 2,854 0 0 TouchArcade Forums Area 51 #17 Jdragoon19, Oct 29, 2012 Luckily I live in Canada, so I already have a Canadian account. Downloading soon. squarezero Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Dec 10, 2008 13,702 1,228 113 Male Chief Strategy Officer Salem, Massachusetts, USA #18 squarezero, Oct 29, 2012 Actually the point of testing in Canada is to put multiplayer/social components through their paces. You can bet that a lot of folks who will be playing the game will not be able to pay for IAPs in Canada. The game itself is not set up as a freemium experience --though like Horn, Dark Meadow, and Infinity Blade, or you will be able to spend money on IAP to speed up progress. relyes Well-Known Member Mar 29, 2012 169 0 0 Kerosene Games San Francisco #19 relyes, Oct 29, 2012 Last edited: Oct 29, 2012 Wow! You guys are quick! What an amazing community It's true, Bladeslinger is finally live, but only in Canada (and South Africa if that eventually works out...some weirdness there with games...). As you guys probably know, developers often choose a smaller market to "soft launch" before going global. That's what we're doing here. We've very happy with the game right now, but it's a fast-moving (despite it's long development cycle) work in progress. There's been some discussion about the price here...as you can see, it's free to download right now in soft launch. This is primarily so that we get as many people in the door from this one market as possible to see what they like about the game, where they struggle, and of course, what we can improve for global launch. Canadians are probably a little nicer than the rest of us, but we're hoping for some good critical feedback as well as creating a lot of smiles and thrills for our first players Our expected global availability is just a few weeks away, but we want to make sure, as ironsam80 said, that we kick the tires and buckle up solidly for the ride ahead. It's going to be a great one! I want to say, on behalf of Luma Arcade and Kerosene, thanks again for all the support for Bladeslinger in this community from Day 1. It's been incredibly motivating for all of us, and inspiring for us to make the best game we possibly could. We're so excited to get Bladeslinger in *everyone's* hands soon!
