With each built they add people so yes apply there still a chance to get in; as to how long its going for i dont know and if there going to be an open beta the Dev team has not said; sorry[;)]

Josh

Thanks for the info! I will indeed apply, although I no longer use Windows 8

Window 7 or higher is needed.[;)]

The game runs fine on Windows 7, not sure why the beta test says anything about 8.

I don't think you will find anyone here who doesn't agree that we announced the game too early [:)]. But it is in great shape - we just want to be sure that we polish it as much as possible. That can sometimes tie our hands a little with regard to showing features, as there is often very negative backlash if even a small feature changes from something we show. C'est la vie!

Cheers

Pip

Thanks for clarifying Pip, as you know my hands are tied also.[;)] But i want to Help with info[;)] So thanks for jumping in.[;)]

Okay I should have checked out their Facebook page ages ago, but I finally did and was I shocked to see some actual clips of gameplay!! Wow, it's actually looking really good! I like the way the game looks and so far the animations look smooth and pretty well polished. I am really getting excited now that I've seen what were working with here!! You guys should check out their page. There isn't a mind-blowing amount of clips, but it was better than the no clips I thought there was.

My biggest critique has to be that these same clips, in their exact format, would reach a much wider audience on YouTube. Be it from Slitherine's channel or just an official Close Combat channel. There is really no better way to get people's eyes on the game in even some small capacity. Pip, please get some bloody first content on YouTube , and if there is I sure couldn't find it. Even the same one minute clip from a few weeks ago on the Facebook page would probably get way more exposure on YouTube.

Either way, carry on. I am getting pretty excited now!

There's a new polygon interview out yesterday for anyone who's missed it. It does give some insight into different aspects of game play. I can't post a link as my account won't allow it yet. Hopefully some else will do the honor.

Here - Polygon article

As things appear pretty quiet here for the moment, I thought it worth mentioning there are a couple of new YouTube videos out that are first looks of the beta game play. They're reasonably informative a definitely worth a look. Unfortunately I can't post links yet.

XTRG and thehistoricalgamer are the two channels.

thank you, bazza05. Here is the link to the lastest gameplay video by thehistoricalgamer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19pSbSXMQsE

I'm still not holding my breath, though.

Holding your breath because you don't think it will be finished relatively soon or just not impressed with what you've seen to date?

Just curious.

Is the reveal of the release date a good update?
