WHAT IS KING OF DRAGON PASS?
King of Dragon Pass is a turn-based strategy game, which portrays the
history of a clan over 100 years as it's part of the recolonization of
Dragon Pass. It was also known by the code-name "Opal." You get to explore
the new land, build up your herds and connection with the gods, persuade
your neighbors to join into a tribe, and finally forge all the tribes into
a kingdom.
More information is at <http://a-sharp.com/opal/>, and we plan on demonstrating the game at Tentacles Reanimated in Bacharach, Germany next month.
WHAT IS ALPHA?
All features we plan to put in the game are now in place and working, and
there are no serious bugs.
WHEN IS IT DUE?
We are projecting a two month period of alpha testing and bug fixing, after
which it will enter a two month beta testing cycle. This means an estimated
completion date of 1 September. Please note that software development
schedules are sometimes inaccurate.
WHO IS PUBLISHING IT?
Unfortunately, we don't have an answer yet.
I AM IN THE G.T.A., WHERE'S MY COPY?
Charter Heroes and Rune Masters were promised a copy, and a few have
already received one. We ask that you sign a Testing Agreement, found on
the private web site for Heroes and Rune Masters. (You should have received
a password from Issaries, Inc., although they have been having trouble with
e-mail bouncing. We're trying to resolve this.) We will send out releases
that pass our internal testing requirements, so we can't predict exactly
when we'll be mailing your copy, other than some time in the next two
months.
CAN I BE A TESTER?
Sadly, many people who want to test the game live outside North America.
The game is 450 megabytes in size, and our server can't handle that load,
even if you are lucky enough to have a fast connection. We mail test copies
on CD-ROMs, and to ensurely timeliness, don't plan on having many overseas
testers.
If you're interested in being a beta tester, submit your qualifications, including hardware configuration, to <opal_at_a-sharp.com>.
