Next Drop

knucracker · January 10, 2010, 10:14:34 PM

I have released the next game drop to the beta users. If all looks good to them with the game, the drop will become generally available in a couple of days. It is a fairly minor update, but it does add a few interesting things. One is a minor new structure that can be placed onto custom maps. Other tweaks are things like right mouse= cancel support as well as custom collector color support for custom maps (now you can be blue and the creeper can be green.... if you want).

Note that at the point the drop becomes generally available, a new set of score tables will be created on the website. The old score tables will still be there, but you will need the new version of the game to post to the new tables. Also, the score posting model is changing so that only the current mission you play will be posted.

how exactly are/were beta-testers chosen? By activity? Seniority?

Awesomeness, and you just aren't awesome enough ;)

No, but we have plenty of active and ready-to-go beta members atm.
