Stardock has released all the previous starting betas for games and expansions usually at the end of the work day the beta is scheduled to be out. They do this to make sure they have all the stuff worked out for a beta release so customers don't get any alpha surprises. It'd be nice if other game companies would actually have things ready for their final release of their crap. Don't count on the beta any earlier than end of work day Tuesday on the east coast of the US. However, since they have said the beta is ready and there was some sort of problem with the servers or delivery system or something maybe it will be ready sooner. But usually it is released for download at the end of their work day.

The emails are usually sent out at that time too. The agony that will be experienced of seeing the beta and not being able to download it because I won't have received my email with the key yet.

Let the email watching party on Stardock chat begin!

Erm... Far be it for me to put words in stardock's mouth, but i would expect the beta to be available sometime this early evening (30th). If it comes earlier, well that would be a surprise, a nice one, but i would still put my money on this evening .

If they really release it at the end of the day, I will have to stay up long, cause I live in Austria (where it's already 10:20am). But the beta is more than worthy a day without sleep. I'm glad I don't have to go to school today and tomorrow.

Oh dear.........


I had (naively) assumed that I would just be able to log into stardock and download the beta to try as if it where a demo. Evidently I need to be on a list somewhere to get an email with a key. Does anyone have the home phone number of a nice stardock person I can ring up and pester to get me on this list. Or is there anything else I can do at this late stage??

{{Editted}}

Just actually read the home page (my bookmark goes straight to the forums) and I see you need to pre-order, where I made the quickest buy decision on a PC game in my life. I just hope I'm not too late!

And to think all of this is for a Beta! Amazing!

Of course, some betas ALWAYS get a lot of attention, especially the way Stardock does their betas...

I look forward to trying out these new different tech trees!

A free sample for all those waiting in line

This is DA vs Twilight shot of a radioactive planet. Not only do we get a visual improvement, doing planet textures this way will reduce memory usage an estimated 1.3 gigs on a Gigantic Galaxy with everything on Abundant.

We'll keep you updated on Beta release status!

Awesome. Everything I could want. Does it come with a pizza and port-a-potty command chair so I never have to get up again?

I was going to put this in my next journal entry, but I guess I'll upload it now....

We're redoing a bunch of the old Improvement graphics, so this is what your new 'Basic Factory' will look like in the game.

The code team is trying to fix a saved game bug, and it looks like a update to Vista causes our startup gadget to crash, so those are being dealt with ATM.

Hopefully those won't take too long...I don't know how many more images a can leak before I get in trouble
