Request Beta of Pinball Arcade for PC?

[Lasd]

I don't think that it covers the T2 Kickstarter. If it did, then I would up my ante to that support level even though it would hurt a little.

Well, it should. And announcing that people can get to PC Beta by backing should give a nice boost to backers and pledges. Which would be great if this indeed is the only window of opportunity to get the table made.

So the T2 Kickstarter doesn't end for about 20 days. What is to stop someone from putting in for the Kickstarter to only pull their money out after the tournament, or after they get the beta?

 

[Lasd]

Well, they could just give out the betas after the campaign ends. August release most likely won't mean 1st of August, more likely towards the end of August, so that would be still a full month before the proper release.

I just hope cabinet support doesn't take too long to implement. I will test the betas, but there is no reason for me to buy the PC version until I can play full screen on a cabinet. Until then, they wont get my money for the PC version. I don't expect to see the beta in July anyway.

Where did they say that every backer will get beta access? Can't find it on facebook.

Can't get clearer than that. All PC supporters regardless of pledge level.

Of course it won't include T2 people.

@Farsight: So how did the internal testing go that started two weeks ago? Are you still targeting beginning of July, or has it been delayed again?

I put up another build a few days ago for internal testing. I believe I got all the major functionality required working. Just need a good round of test on it before we release a beta to the outside world.

Sounds good.

Thanks for the heads up!

Are you actually going to include the community in the QA process as this is very successfully happening for Android and iOS (I think), or is this beta really just promo for the final version? I mean, can we expect frequent updates once it's out? And if so, when will this start to happen?

 

[DaPinballWizard]

I am hoping it is out by Christmas.

I believe the plan is to have montly beta's similar to the phones.

At the very least we want monthly updates to add in the new table packs at the same time as android and ios.

Any progress on the cabinet/portrait mode?
