00:10Hello and welcome to the latest Dev Diary. Today I want to talk to you a bit more about the
00:14alpha process. As you know we started the alpha process before Christmas with the single player combat mode and I've
00:20been delighted in the way it's been received. It's lovely to see the reactions to it.
00:25I think we've seen lots and lots of videos posted up including some amazing pieces of gameplay. Last time I
00:32looked there were 350 different videos so all very fantastic, good to see and very exciting. It's really rewarding to
00:38see something that you've worked on being enjoyed by people outside the company in the way you expected.
00:44We also updated the first release. I'm sure a lot of people have seen that with TrackIR, 3D stereo including
00:51the coloured stereo and Oculus Rift which has been talked about which I think is truly fantastic. Something I've really
00:56enjoyed playing.
00:59Now looking at the alpha going forward, the next section I think has already been discussed on the forums is
01:05we're going to do multiplayer. What you'll see there is the ability to fight with other players and against other
01:11players with AIs in there.
01:14Very, very exciting to test all the various systems. Hopefully it will work fine but that's the point of an
01:19alpha. What we're trying to do is make absolutely sure what we've got is high quality and works well.
01:25Following that will be travel and trading. We also have outfitting going forward before we go into the beta.
01:31And finally, for those on the beta or other levels, it is possible now to upgrade to the alpha. We've
01:38changed our shop to allow this. We've had a lot of requests for this.
01:41So if you want to come and join us on the alpha you still can. Of course, fine to wait
01:46for the beta. I know a lot of people are doing that or indeed the final game.
01:49But the process has been great for us here. I hope it's great for you out there. Very, very excited.
01:55Brilliant times and thank you very much for all those who have already backed us.
01:58We'll see you next time.
