Thanks to everyone who played during the beta test.
STATS
The weekend started with 6,162 people signed up. According to the Steam page analytics 77% of the visitors were from China and 5% from the US.
When I started letting players in Friday morning I had no idea what to expect. The game had never been tested with more than 7 players and I had no idea how many of the 6,162 would show up. In the end 840 people played and the game peaked at 27 concurrent players.
BUGS
Many bugs were found. Thanks for all the reports. There was one really bad bug that kept crashing the servers. It didn't leave any errors in the logs so it was really hard to track down. I spent most of the weekend trying to figure it out and am glad to say I finally know what the issue is and how to fix it.
FUTURE PLANS
Soon I'll be going through all the feedback and making a huge todo list. Also this week I'm going to look into crowdsourcing the translations. Multiple people reported that the current ones form Google Translate were not great. After the bugs are fixed and the feedback is addressed I'm going to work on the ships and how the upgrades work. Adding more ways to upgrade your ship and maybe even different ships.
THE NEXT BETA TEST
The next beta test will probably be in about a month. In that one I hope to have all the issues addressed and a few new features.
Again, thanks for playing! See you again in a month I hope!
