[ANN] -- Beta

Keep your ears to the ground, folks -- we should be beta testing Coldstone late this year or early next year.

Details will be forthcoming on how to apply to become a beta tester; this is just a "heads up" to let you know that the beta is in sight! 😉

It's nearly here people, I was talking to Andrew on AIM a minute ago and he said this. Straight from the horses mouth (no offense 🙂 :p). So, here I go...(runs around room screaming like a lunatic)...

Well, I know I won't be able to beta test. Andrew said, "No." Damn...

Can I be a beta tester? I've always liked game editors and game makers!

Based on your involvement in pirating Bryce, absolutely not, you will not be considered for beta testing.

A thought running through all of our minds, I'd like to hear many people's ideas. I'll maybe mix them with some of my own... 🙂

The beta version should have complete functionality -- but it will be buggy, and some areas may be a bit unrefined.

Contrast this with a "public beta" which generally means "It isn't finished yet"

OK, so if I told you I just got my layoff notice from a major dot-com company last Thursday (along with 50% of the office -- but I can't mention Britannica by name, oh damn!) and really needed something to pick me up (as well as a new job) ... would that constitute begging? 🙂

Looking forward to this product so much. Yes.

Erm...I hate to break it to you, but Beta Testing will go unpaid. 🙂
