Early Access

[christophzeller]

So, where do I sign up for EA? I see the updated store page & the EA info page, but the game's still listed as "not available". I want to get my grubby hands on this.

[DWillem]

Me too. Have been waiting a long time for this day.

[kperry0910]

Me too! Can't wait for the link to show up.

[N_Molson]

Same here, can't wait !

[Ponepilos]

Yes everyone in Germany is waiting for access, too. GOGO

[kaijar]

So excited! Hopefully when I'm done with my physics homework, it will be out.

Shut up and take my money!
Downloading now. Thanks!

[kaijar]

Downloading now. Super excited for this game! I've been waiting since February! Thanks for your hard work to get a polished beta out to us this year. Cheers, guys.

Thanks for the awesome game guys! I am downloading it right now. Very excited to see this game grow and expand through the early access phase.

Count me in as another EA and downloading it now, looking forward to playing this

Quick question on the early access program: does the Mercury Tier including getting a digital copy of the final release game (including patches, if applicable)? Right now, the description mostly talks about getting access to the beta, not the final release. Thanks.

Absolutely, you will get the final released game plus any subsequent patches released afterwards.

So I played the game a bit and I must say I'm quite impressed by the detail put into the various programs...

Still, I think I've found a bug : when I launch the first Mercury mission (unmanned suborbital test), in the Mission Control screen, I pass the prelaunch step, then the game locks up during the "countdown" step. The animation screen stays black, and in the bar above there is "MISSION STEP NAME : COUNTDOWN......................." with the dots continuing to spawn until they reach the right border of the (window or computer, depending of the display mode) screen. No reaction to ESC, spacebar, Enter, etc... The "Play/Stop" green button still works in some way, when "Stop" is toggled on, the points stop to spawn. And they continue when "Play" is toggled on again. The music loops indefinitely.

I wonder if I'm alone to get this, else great game with a lot of potential. As an original 1990's BARIS player, I really enjoy it, even if I miss a bit the "Cold War" background.

I've encountered the same problem, and a few other ones. Once they get a beta forum up and running I'll post them there.
On the whole, the game looks very nice already.

Thanks folks, we really appreciate your kind words and we're glad that you like what you see.

Apologies for the bug you found. It's been reported at the Matrix forums as well. I have already fixed it and I'll submit a patch tonight to Slitherine, so you will get an update very soon (it will be v0.7.2).

Cheers,
