Announcements: Extending Open Beta Period, Version Corrections


Hi again, it's been a while! Thanks as usual for the support in the open beta of SAILOR ALICE. I don't have any updates for the beta at the moment, but I do have some announcements regarding future updates!

Firstly, I'll be extending the period for open beta testing! Previously, everyone was free to beta test SAILOR ALICE until August 10th. However, because of some major bugs plaguing the first two weeks of testing, I've decided to compensate by extending the testing period until August 18thPlease know that as long as you have downloaded a beta version, you are free to report bugs after the period has ended. The dates are meant to serve as a "schedule" for how long the beta's download link will be available.

The next announcement is regarding the version numbers. Since I'm new to this sorta thing, I can't say I versioned everything correctly and I want to avoid any confusion in the future (even now I keep getting myself confused.) The current version, 1.2.2b, will be renamed 1.b.2.2. This change is meant to display the fact that there is currently still no tested stable release of SAILOR ALICE, and the game has not yet left its initial beta.  Older versions are mapped as follows:

  • 1.0b = 1.b (beta launch)
  • 1.1.2b = 1.b.1.2
  • 1.2.1b = 1.b.2.1
  • 1.2.2b = 1.b.2.2 (current)

This is to emphasize clarity, and reduce confusion when the stable version is launched as 1.0. Additionally, I'm very sorry if there was any confusion with the versioning so far! I apologize to anyone who might have downloaded expecting a stable version... Currently, we are still bug testing even for any major bugs. The game is still meant to be at an early stage, which is why we're also accepting any narrative/writing feedback.

These changes to the version numbers will effective immediately after the next update (which will ideally be the 1.0 stable launch, unless other major bugs found!) Thank you to everyone who's been keeping up with this little project :) If you have any questions, concerns/etc., please feel free to reach out! <3
