Anyone here in the Beta?

JU_88 · 09-16-18, 03:52 PM

With the open Beta available to backers coming very soon, (Next month possibly)
I was wondering if anyone here was in it/ backed the project with donation?

Ernstww · 09-16-18, 09:11 PM

I'm in.

...and I apologize for the gratuitous use of emoticons.

I backed it so I should be in the Beta, even if I've read about a questionary they sent to backers that I think I missed: did you receive it?

JU_88 · 09-17-18, 05:33 PM

Nah I'm not in it, I wanted to pledge I was too late to the party - though I'm currently assisting them with some volunteer 3d modeling work.
I don't think you missed anything as it hasn't started yet. but its good to know there are at least two of you to post your initial thoughts etc when the time comes

Volunteering, as in creating art for free?

Abisem, I never filled out any questionnaire for beta either. Although I snuck into Kickstarter as a backer after it had technically closed as the Paypal link had not been disabled - maybe an oversight. nihilcat, bless him, let me in anyway.

I think they have a list of backers that will get emailed keys (speculation).

Yeah pretty much. But its ok I enjoy it. :P I'm not doing alot, just a few aircraft.
I figured something was a miss when I saw a teaser video a while back of P-47's attacking the players Uboat (turns out they were just placeholder dummies) So I reached out to the devs with some examples of my 3d work and offered to give them hand with some models and research info on authentic Coastal command patrol planes. They are a small team and its a big game, so every little helps.

It seems the bug reports are starting to come in at Steam.

Haven't received a key yet. Have people here received keys?

Maybe I didn't make the key list due to the flaky way I got into Kickstarter.
--------------------

Nevermind, Nihilcat says its being sorted out. I have never hit 'refresh' so many time on my email.

I have been playing most of the day and I have to say this game really has potential. Graphics look really good. Amazing ocean effects and the first person mode is really well done and immersive.

Ernstww · 10-13-18, 07:52 PM

Good to hear. Is it bugging out much?

barel80 · 10-13-18, 09:48 PM

They are true heroes, they released U-boat sim in 2018, when most of games are ****-arcade.
I played early-beta today. I spent 2-3 hours on it. It needs few fixes and improvements but after that i think it will be a great sim.
