    Pay for beta testing?

    Just wondering, do I need to pay to get in beta testing? because I really like this game and I have testflight.

    So yes backers are the ones who can get in on the testing, and have already done some play testing of space battles. I have extended the rewards which includes beta play to those who support the the project post Kickstarter.

    However I want to note at least for the next month or so most tests will be on PC , once the game is close to complete then we will fork development to all the remaining platforms.

    Just got the first verison of the website up that will provide a location for the server functions planned for the game and more immeditely provide a place for backers to pick up beta tests that will begin being served in March. Still got some issues with the site that have to get sorted through the Wordpress CSS. But so far so good.

    New Build

    New build is up for Backers!

    The “Exploration Build A” gives backers a taste of how the game flow is so far presented. Backers can take their procedurally generated vessel and travel amongst the stars visit planets, send away teams to run around the surface and engage other vessels in space. I am really excited to see the input from the backer pool about their experiences to see what we can change and improve. Hopefully we can begin to safely activate “episode” components in the coming builds.

    The biggest challenge we experienced the last month was with making re-visitable surface environments instead of the original one offs we had initially planned. I would like to extend a thanks to Damon C for pushing me in that direction. I think it’s very neat that now a player could land on a planet with a away team walk 100 screens in one direction and then leave. Come back days later in game, and those 100 screens are the same. The implications for game play are huge moving forward.

    Backers can visit the Test builds page and pick up a copy to play with now.

    Don't worry. You aren't missing much of a "game" yet. It's really just tooling around the galaxy and visiting empty planets at this point.

    As for feedback, I will play more and leave it in the appropriate forum on your site. But for those curious, it's looking really good so far. :) Everything you were hoping that "other" game was going to be, lol. I can't wait until we can start having actual adventures on the planets.

    I like the phrase "tooling around the galaxy" might add that to the games final description ;)

    Green skinned woman eh? The game is procedurally generated, so I suppose it's possible ;)

    How are you doing with the development? Are things as expected, or do you foresee a delay? Just to know, not to put pressure ;)
