The Episode 2 Beta

written by Evil Trout on September 11th, 2008 @ 09:57 PM

A lot of Episode 2 has come together over the last couple of weeks. I remember it being this way before we launched Episode 1. It seems to take forever to get the ball rolling, but near the end so much comes together so quickly!

I included an illustration of a permanoob in our last update. It's actually a tiny piece of our new homepage! For Episode 2 you'll be greeted with a beautiful piece of artwork from the guys at Dooomcat. We liked their artwork so much that we had them re-design the character selection portraits too. I think our moderator, Mc Banhammer, had an orgasm when he saw the full artwork.

It looks like we are going to launch a closed beta of Episode 2 on Monday. We promised some contributors to Episode 2 the ability to participate in the beta, so if you are one of those (and you should know if you are!), please make sure your email on your account is up to date so we can email you the details.

If you haven't been promised membership to the beta, and can't wait until October to play the game, don't fret: It is likely that our list of beta participants is too small for adequate coverage. We will likely end up randomly choosing some of our active players to participate as well. If you want to make sure you're eligible, just make sure you play the game (pwn forums or gain scoops in domination) between now and Monday.

If you're not picked, you won't have to be patient for very long! The majority of the wait is over. A release date announcement will come very soon!

    Oh, yes.

  • MC Banhammer on 12 Sep 00:04

    Just to confirm: I did indeed have an orgasm when I saw the full artwork.

    Although I may have been thinking of Fran at the time.

    If you let me in i will actualy play the game again and donate something

  • BiggerJ on 12 Sep 07:44

    Just wondering, did you guys ever get a new artist for the Camwhore cutscenes? I’d hate for the episode to be delayed because of missing art.

  • Nicco on 12 Sep 09:28

    I’m just hoping I will be one of the testers. :)

  • markchd on 12 Sep 10:22

    I’m so excited I can barely contain myself!

    Gimme the date, gimme the date, gimmethedate!

  • Aldo_Anything on 12 Sep 12:15

    cool, are those the conditions for geeting the I’m gay peen as well (powning forums or geting scoops for dom)?

  • TUBSWEETIE on 12 Sep 16:30

    It would make my life to be part of the beta but tbh playing it without fuckups would probably be more fun

    That’s no way to talk about the Beta testers.

    Oh. Wait. You meant something else.

    Well, that part may be true. If you don’t want to experience a broken game, don’t ask to take part in the Beta. Things [b]will[/b] go wrong.

  • Fran on 12 Sep 18:52

    Yea, that reminds me of WoW: WotLK Beta… I’ve been selected to go there, and there’s always a thread about “OMG THE WORLD SERVER IS NOT STABLE!!!11”.

    Some people simply can’t bear the fact that Beta = testing stage, not a “have fun before everyone else” stage. If people selected for the Episode 2 Beta start whining about that, simply remove their Beta access and give it to someone else.

  • TUBSWEETIE on 12 Sep 19:50

    it would still be p fun to play a glitchy game but i dunno. never done it before so i have no grounds to judge.

    but i repeat: it’d make my life to be on ep2 beta

  • Big Brother on 12 Sep 20:11

    pleasepleaseplease?

    “Well, that part may be true. If you don’t want to experience a broken game, don’t ask to take part in the Beta. Things [b]will[/b] go wrong.”

    Sounds like my kind of fun.

  • Orb on 12 Sep 21:56

    I actually have no idea whether I’m technically in the Episode 2 Beta, but either way I’m excited.

  • markchd on 14 Sep 06:59

    “Sounds like my kind of fun.”

    Oh hell yeah. I love bug hunting. Leave some for me, betazoids.

  • elena on 23 Sep 23:56

    aw man I knew this would happen when I was pwned in school

    conspiracy

    I hate that you have to pay to play.
