Hey Builders!
I'm looking at the calendar and I have a few questions....
Why has there been no update for so long? Have we forgotten the game? Nothing of the sort! Although I have to admit that time is passing more quickly than I would like, so let's not waste any more time and get on with the news!
We'll start with the most important one, which is how the QA testing of our long-awaited game is going. While minor bugs will probably be fixed before the game launches, the biggest ones are already behind us. And there is a lot to test because, in my subjective opinion, the content is very broad for such a game. Very! And everything has to be checked again to make sure that we do not make any bugs for the launch.
As for the launch itself, we are so close to finishing the game that we will set a final release date within 2 weeks and announce it on the next devblog!
This means that at this point we have a complete game that is playable and complete. All that remains to be done is to add a few or a dozen hints, improve some of the graphics and, most importantly....
...checking and possibly improving the mission balance!
As a reminder, there will be 39 missions in the game, the first three of which are available in the Prologue and will be familiar to most of you. The rest of the missions have been released for testing through playtests and other closed events, giving us a lot of great feedback that we have tried to incorporate into the game where possible. However, there are still a total of 34 missions that no one has seen because they have not been revealed in any way.
So a question to our most loyal community:
Are there any people who would like to test the full version?
We are looking to assemble a group of people who, after signing the NDA, will have exclusive access to the game and will be able to share their thoughts on the difficulty, balance, difficulty of the random tasks, or any other comments that might influence the final game.
If you are interested, familiar with Builders of Egypt and have a good knowledge of how to play the game, then join our Discord and we will take care of the rest!
The deadline for submissions is 07 March 2024.
As a thank you, you will receive a copy of Builders of Egypt and your nickname (or real name if you prefer) will be listed in the credits.
(The more veteran of our community you are, the better your chances).
If you're not interested in testing the game, I'd still like to invite you to our Discord, where we'll be running various competitions to celebrate the upcoming launch, with a chance to win your copy of the game, of course.
It's also worth following our profile on TikTok, which, due to the nature of the portal, requires us (or rather Emi) to adapt the videos we show. See for yourself what potential our Emi has :)
