Hi everyone,
I know it has been a while since I posted here and y’all are getting mad at me for delaying the update a lot, so here is an update reg. v2 and also announcement of the beta testers that have been selected.
Development
So development is going well, tbh I’m really busy these days with competitions and other projects I’m working on, so I haven’t had much time to take over coding for v2…
Mainly @Mistik is the lead dev working on V2 at this point, all the other devs either quit or failed to add stuff within reasonable time.
So basically what we’re gonna do is split v2 into 2 phases due to time constraint. I’m gonna be honest with the deadlines we have internally so even if it’s disappointing we need the time to make sure we test everything before releasing since it’s such a huge rewrite of the game we need to do a lot of testing before releasing to full playerbase. I also need to figure out a way to migrate all v1 accounts to v2, which is a time consuming and process I need to do carefully since it might mess up people’s accounts.
The first phase will be publicly released October 31st yes HALLOWEEN.
Now I know yall are gonna trash me in comments because previously I said
yeah yeah I agree but we need to test game extensively before pushing to everyone… (read more about testers)
The first phase will mainly contain the main features of v1 we wanted to revamp, I’m not gonna spoil much but it’s not gonna include the cool new features (ex: clans ). That’s coming in phase 2 since we need time to test and properly release those.
Phase 2 right now will be released mid-late November, but if things go well we can prob release earlier but we gotta see. I’ll prob be free around that time so I can finally start adding stuff too.
Im trying to be as honest as possible with deadlines, unlike most io game devs who never release anything about whats going on internally. I promise deadline won’t be pushed again since a lot of the features are already being worked on and here’s basically our internal deadline rn:
Now - Sep 15 ( Development )
Sep 15 to Sep 30 ( Migration and Test Production Environment )
Oct 1st to Oct 30 ( Beta release, testing with Beta testers )
Oct 31 ( Live Public Release)
During this testing time we will also simultaneously be working on the Phase 2 update so we can release that asap.
Anyways I cannot spoil more than this unfortunately… but speaking of testers…
Beta Testers
drumroll please
@Loler
@w1
@Undefeated_zarooma
@Shadowblade
@3RG3R
@bread
@Victor.XenVixOwner
@anon33846000
@Uri
@Darkoknight
They were selected from a combination of random, forum trust level, community trust level, and whether or not they wrote a paragraph.
They will be getting their tester roles soon and I will re-open up testing server starting October 1st or earlier if migration is finished. If testing goes well maybe we can release earlier instead of doing the whole 30 days, but I dont want to keep pushing the deadline so this is FINAL MAX DEADLINE Oct 31
Conclusion
Just want to say I know this game is dying, I havent given up on this and once v2 is launched and the servers can handle like 200 people on one server, I am gonna start advertising by using the existing ad revenue from game and investing it all on getting new players, so watch out this forum is gonna grow like crazy 2023-2024
Also doing Q&A, trying to be as transparent with yall so yeah ask me anything!
Have a great day
