WorstUsernameEver
But best title ever!
We haven't been following The Age of Decadence's monthly updates closely despite us covering the game, but this is more than worthy of being posted, as in this month's installment Vince just announced that the demo of the title will be released in public beta form in only 2 weeks.<blockquote>Short version: the wait is almost over; the demo will be released in 2 weeks.
Long version: I’ve just realized that it’s been seven months since we’ve started testing. It’s hard to believe that it’s been that long, that the fall and the winter seasons are already over. You get so focused on daily tasks, which pile up faster than you can handle them, that you don't really notice how fast time flies. You look back, but you don't really feel it. Only when you actually count the months, you realize - in shock - how long it's taken.
So, 7 months, 1,900 posts in the beta forums, and 12 builds later (Oscar has just uploaded a new update), we're getting ready to release the demo - as public beta - to our audience.
I'd like to use this opportunity to thank our testers (whom I really can't thank enough). Their input has kept us very busy all these months, kept us working/reworking/tweaking/adding/fixing/breaking shit accidentally and fixing again. Looking back, I realize that back in August we gave the testers a very flawed game and they helped us turn it into a game that we're proud to give you now. It's not perfect in any way, but it's solid.
There were a lot of great ideas and suggestions and I wish we could implement them all, but there is only so much four people can do, even in seven months. Special thanks to people who have encouraged us to take more time to get it right.
I hope you’ll enjoy the game. </blockquote>If you're wondering what the team will actually do during the public beta, here's what Vince had to say:<blockquote>We'll only fix bugs. We don't have time for anything else, no matter how good some of the new ideas might be.
</blockquote>And finally, here are some juicy screenshots:
