    The environments are looking good. Water looks much more realistic.

    Hello all!

    The pre-alpha testing of "Fugl" will start very soon (within a week hopefully)! I will dm each one of you soon, but I just wanted to post the minimum requirements. "Fugl" will require about 400 mb of memory. This means that only the following devices will be supported:
    iPad4 and up
    iPadMini Retina
    iPhone5 and up

    There is a slight possibility that iPad4 and iPhone5 won't be supported in the final game, but I really want to include them, so that's what's the testing will determine.

    The focus of the first test is just how intuitive the controls are and how the flying feels. More info will follow!

    I've made a new biome with Marco that will be included in the test, as this represent a "worst-case" scenario regarding the amount of triangles on screen.

    I'm also leaning towards distributing ad-hoc for now, and not though Testflight, as Testflight is a bit buggy and it also requires Apple review of every build. This will make the testing process much slower, so I'm hoping you people are still interested even though I would need your UDID number and you will have to manually install it though iTunes.

    Cheers,
    Johan

    Apple's version of TestFlight is terrible compared to the original www.testflightapp.com, which sadly, is going away in late February.
    I don't even mind the "approval" step - it's the general bugginess of it and/or usability issues. Ability to distribute (external OR internal) is hit or miss.

    I don't think most users are going to be able to jump through hoops with ad hoc distribution. You might want to look into some of the alternatives:

    I for one agree that I really hate the manual iTunes install beta tests. I won't even do them anymore. :(
    Any alternatives would be great!
     
  14. Woooh great news ! Can't wait to test it :)

    Venus flytraps and some more foliage ... More of a paradise feel! and a gnarly jungle tree to spice up the jungle.

    Ok, thanks for the link. I will try to find an alternative, so over-the-air instrallation will be possible. I agree that the itunes option is not a good one.
