Ninjas vs. Pirates: Beta 2 Build is in Polish Mode
by Jon Jorajuria · 04/27/2006 (7:15 pm) · 5 comments
Update
The primary goal of beta 1 was never to showcase the game, but rather to test the backend servers and netcode. Both have passed their tests and we are focusing on beta 2. No further enhancements to the beta 1 build will be implemented unless some of the improvements going into beta 2 need a large scale test. We will be continuing with kill the dev team night however we are limiting it to 1 night per week.
Future of the Game and Beta
The dev team has been hard at work putting together beta 2. We are being very hush hush on what we are doing, what I can tell you is that it is not the same game that was presented in beta 1. There is a reason to having a three phased beta approach most of which is to control what is being tested.
We will be expanding the beta testing to Mac and Linux users. In addition to including Mac and Linux testers, beta 2 will be open to the press. Members who actively participate in the Ninjas vs. Pirates beta testing program will receive a free copy of the game. If you are interested in beta testing Ninjas vs. Pirates, please send an email to beta@darkcombat.net with the following information:

Whether or not you are a member of the press and who you work for*
Your system specifications (processor, mobo, vid card, RAM, etc.)
Connection speed
*Members of the press will be receiving a press release about the game as well as direct contact information.
Beta 2 will be released in approximately 30 days, we will announce the location of the download server 24 hours prior to testing.

Last weeks blog caused a bit of controversy and I thought I would follow up last weeks post with more gratuitous cleavage by N. R. Bharathae of Exile Graphics:

Conclusion
There is a lot of exciting things happening with Ninjas vs. Pirates. The development team is working hard and we are looking forward to the release of this game. If you are interested in participating, please feel free to contact me via the e-mail in my profile. The new game website will be released in a few days. News will be updated on both sites for the next few weeks, so please check often.
