The time has come. It is time for a new of my world-renowned dev-log videos. I've got so much to say, yet so little time, and so much confusion.
Beta is now released. You check out the beta manually from the steam client, or your other store's clients. This beta is in a good state, but there might still be bugs I need to fix, and rebalancing, so it might be a bumpy ride. It will also be updated, sometimes several times per day. So if you're not into that, wait for the official stable release, else, I am very grateful to you who give it a shot.
You got the patch notes in the previous announcements, so instead I'll talk a bit about this nice little marketing push I've received.
As you know there was a 20% sale, and a huge video by Seeth - the youtuber. SoS made it to the top 20 worldwide on Steam, and #4 on another store who's name shall not be mentioned. This increased sales indeed. I basically made 6 months normal revenue in 24h. I'm not gloating, I just think some of you might be genuinely interested. It didn't stay in the top very long though, sadly. I planned on releasing V66 along with it, to create extra buzz, but there were too many bugs. I was defeated.
All in all, I'm very happy with it, and I might do sales in the future, since the response has only been positive. And I'm confident 1.0 will be a good.
