As I mentioned last week, we have just finished getting our internal test server setup and were delivered our first partially localized test client. Now our biggest task that we are focusing on at the moment is to spend a good portion of time inside of the game and looking for issues. We are now compiling two separate lists, one of bugs we are finding (basically things that don't work the way they should) and second a list of concerns of changes that have been made to the game that we want to bring up to the developer, which will then probably require a discussion with the developer followed by some changes being made to the code. This will probably be an ongoing process that will take some time (as has been mentioned before), but the good news is we are seeing some content that appears to be fairly new, so we are excited about that.
While we do this, we are also trying to wrap up the localization. We have just submitted part 3 of 3 of the text, and now we need to go back and finish off part 2 (this is a really long part). We hope to have this wrapped up before too long.
Also in regards to the website, the developers have just finally sent us the translated content that we can add. There seems to be some pretty good stuff in there, but it will take a lot of time to sort through everything and prepare it for our website. At the moment this is a lower priority task for us compared to all the other things we have going on. But stay tuned, we will try to make improvements in the future using this material.
Finally we are happy to see so many of you have signed up for closed beta already. Now we'd like to see many more of the previous Turf Battle players sign up with us. That is why we are now sending out a press release to several major gaming sites. We are also hoping the community can help us by posting a short blurb about closed beta on other sites for us.
