    And the lord said, "let there be beta."

    (Un)fortunately Tiy doesn't answer to the lord on matters concerning beta.

    Not sure if local co op would work too well. LAN on the other hand...

    I have a box here that was supposed to contain a beta but when I opened it the box was empty

    I think that if they do release a beta, it will be after their public showing.

    Those final lines bring hope into the hearts of many who have been waiting anxiously for the game. Good luck with the bugs, and best of luck for i49! I'm sure you guys will do great.

    So...status on beta release? 99%+ of the people who are funding this project are not really worried about i49 other than the fact we get to see the game work live in public for the first time. And the only reason lots of us care is because we think it's a milestone to nearby beta release. I digress.

    Releasing beta by the tier is actually a really good idea. Then by the time the last tier rolls out and a month of bug squashing and polish is added to that final bit the game can be called release. Really, this is a great idea. It could also set a good precedent for indies, release a polished part of the beta one piece at a time and fix it with user input then move on to the next piece instead of getting a giant unfinished mess like Edge of Space dumped on the public at once.

    Bug Squash City. Not a nice place to be when you don't know what you're doing.

    Edit:
    Patience, young grasshopper.

    I'm really interested in seeing the new death animation. I wasn't too fond of the previous one so the change is a nice surprise (hopefully).

    Something to point out "finish up the game" Implies they blew passed beta, It's a bit of a stretch but, seriously?

    that is EXACTLY what i was about to say. well, not exactly but i was going to quote that phrase and then say something along the lines of
    "Could it be.....
    (this is the first time I've said it)
    BETA?!"

    If I could go to i49 I'd make a sign saying "When's the Beta" and spend the whole day sitting across from your booth scowling at all of you.

    I'm glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read that, that was funny to think of, especially since I can easily imagine just how many more would join you in that. You know there's always taking a picture and using it as your avatar at the very least, right?
