Slitherine

Hi,
will there be the possibility for joining alpha/beta testing in the near future or is this game planned without any alpha/beta testing from outside ?

We always do a large and extensive Beta testing rounds on all our games, in time be sure it will be announced here and like with all other games out of the Slitherine`s stable you will be able to enter the Beta test registration here at Slitherine`s front webpage.

Great news then! have done Betas for BBC Battle Academy and Panzer Corps and looking forward to the chance to help "test drive" this one!

I hope to be in the beta as well. Will you announce here as well when the beta test registration is available?

Yes, of course.

Hi guys,

Just a little heads-up, we evaluated Sovereignty last week if we could go into Beta and we decided we still wanted to improve a few points before the game is ready for a first Beta group, so this will take a few more weeks. But definitely Beta is coming closer each week...

Once we announce the opening of the Beta registration, the real Beta should follow a few weeks later, around that time we will also show a bit more about the game, screenshots, boxart, we are working on a website with some more info...

sounds great, thanks for feedback

Thanks for letting us know.
Can not wait.

Exciting stuff.

A small update, the guys are working on finetuning the ingame tutorial, once we get this in, we do another pass with Slitherine if the game is ready enough to enter into a first Beta round.

One word
"Awesome"

Sooo.... I assume the game was not yet ready to enter beta, since 2 weeks are gone and no update. Not complaining, just eager to know.

What kind of delay are we talking about, end of June or end of summer?

We are still implementing the ingame tutorial and we have decided we need to do some more evaluating together on the UI, it still misses something...

So until everybody is happy we keep on working, it has no use to start Beta until at least we ourselves are convinced this is the best we can do. Sorry guys.

Sounds better and better all the time.
Thanks for keeping us informed.

No problem. I'm still trying to get the hang of The Great War. Since I got it around Christmas and haven't had the skill to do very well so not the will to finish even one game I can get a feel of attrition firsthand. To think I won my first ever games of CEAW and Napoleon...

Thanks for the info. Definitely take your time. I have been involved with the beta of Eador Master of the Broken Worlds, and although the game is definitely good (more than good), they rushed both beta and release, with obvious unpleasant consequences... Don't want to repeat that...

Regarding Eador: it´s not that bad - i have nearly no bugs and after the massive patching including new Features the game is fine now.

Looking Forward to a sovereignity beta

On the contrary, Eador is a fantastic game, and it will become soon a masterpiece... that does not negate the fact that it was released too soon.

I hope Sovereignity will be as good, and less 'buggy' at release. I love everything I read about Sovereignity, my only concern is related to the battle cards, which I don't understand since nothing more was revealed.

This battle cards stuff sounds good to me though whatever it could possibly be.

Working on redoing the whole main User Interface layout... was just not working as we hoped, so back to the drawing boards. hence the reason why we postponed the Beta... I try and keep you informed on progress.
