Tommorow we launch!
by michael on Jan.12, 2009, under Battle Dawn, Development News
If all goes well and no critical bugs emerge, we’ll open the new client to a public beta.
The client is not yet finished, some features are not working as well as some buttons.
But it is playable and we can start running tests with more players active inside it besides us, crazy programmers 
Thank you for your support, and I hope you’ll enjoy the almost a year-of-work we’ve put into this one client - completely rewritten from scratch in order to support our next game (Battle Dawn 2) and a bigger community (we hope it will enable us to reach the 100,000 users limit this year).
The skin on the client is still the ‘ugly’ gray boxes as the new skin texture is not yet ready, we leave the pretty stuff to be last.
We plan to run the beta for at least a month or two before starting to switch the current worlds into the new system one by one after each reset. so do not give up yet on playing the old client! it will still take us some time before this new client is stable enough to replace the old client!
Again, our warmest thanks to the supporters out there that made this dream come true.
Developing this (highly expensive) new client could not have been achieved without your support, and there’s still tons of work left to be done.
We plan on making Battle Dawn the best community-driven, browser based strategy game on the web!
Crazy days ahead!

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG, I’ve been checking the blog like an idiot everyday since you announced the beta, and have read every forum response on the link Peter gave lol. I’m so happy that supporting did some good, and I’m also happy to learn that the Beta will be open.

Seriously though, I can’t wait to try it out, and I really do hope no bugs pop up, even though it’s inevitable, at least no BD life threatening ones lol.
