So are you beta testers sworn to secrecy or can you tell those of us that have bought the game what's new? I mean, what are those rotating molecule-things?

[Bonobo]

Oh. I never saw an NDA, but I’d rather not open my mouth too wide before getting an OK from Alex or Rudolf resp. before it’s officially released … but I’m sure I may say it really is a rotating thingie

And I’m sure I may also tell you that it’s FUN FUN FUN and SOOOO BEAUTIFUL, and there are quite a few new features you’ll all love, and the music is BEAUTIFUL, too.

[Alex]

There are a few little bits that aren't in the PS3 version, but by and large what you'll see is in the PS3 version.

[Rudolf]

Except that there is a new play mode coming in the first update. :-)

[Pilchard123]

I hate to nag, but any idea when that will be?

[sillytuna]

When will it be?

Erm, well, we're in the submission process with Apple right now so hopefully we'll be approved some time this month.

Keep your fingers (and toes) crossed.

[Pilchard123]

Hang on a sec. You know this...how? Are you mark from Tuna?

Anyway, I meant the PC update, though that wasn't all that clear.

[sillytuna]

Alex and re: PC - Rudolf will have to answer that one!

[Rudolf]

We got dates wrong before, so I dare not say. But technically we are over 95% there.
Thing is, with our tiny teams (even with Tuna helping us) it is still a very limited amount of bandwith to do the 1000 things we want to do.

We are getting there though, and there will be some surprises I reckon. Not meant to be a tease, just saying we only want to release when it is REALLY good.

Ah, okay.

For some reason I assumed that you were not Alex - I was taking Alex (May) and Alex (you) and for some reason thinking you were the same person. No evidence for it, just assuming. Well, you know what they say...

[Major Cooke]

Wait, so you've already chosen beta testers?

And when you're talking about this article here: http://www.eufloria-game.com/blog/?p=432

When you say here:

The initial release and update will be by far the most comprehensive and enjoyable release of Eufloria to date. And the price will be pretty darn reasonable. (I am not biased! Honestly!)

There is also additional content planned or lined up for the first update, including a new Ambient Mode, that is more about nurturing and growing, relaxing and playing with the new terraforming mechanic. (Yes, you can terraform stuff)

I take it you mean the PC version as well, right? Right??? O.o;

[Rudolf]

We haven't chosen beta testers yet, a call will go out when we are at that stage :-)
Most of the good stuff wil also arrive on PC, where it makes sense.

The game is rather different from the very first version waaaaay back, just after the birth of the internet. (well, a few years ago)

[Major Cooke]

Oh. But I take it you still mean to release the PC version update as well as the iFloria edition, yes? I'm just double checking.

[Rudolf]

Yes, but not simultaneously. :-)
