Hey everyone!
We recently embarked on a development path for Goodgame Empire with clear destinations in mind: better quality, fairness, and fun!
Our first steps on this new journey consisted in certain measures you are probably already aware of:
- The opening of the open test server
- The presence of some of our Quality Assurance colleagues directly in the forums
- The kickoff of our fair play
initiative against the bots.
Today we want to inform you of a further step we took to achieve our goals; the opening of a Closed Beta server!
The
main objective in this phase of testing is to assess particular game
mechanics and improve them before they are released to the worldwide
community. What will be tested in this server is mostly related to the
balance and the mechanics of certain features that are not yet ready for
the mass audience.
Together with our fantastic moderators, we
have selected a group of players based on their experience in the game
and the quality of the constructive feedback they usually provide.
Nonetheless,
this is the first ever time we open the Closed Beta server, so for
future testing we will expand the option for more of you to join us! Our
plan is to do this through an application process; allowing us to
locate more of you that can provide such high quality and constructive
feedback. More information on this will be made available closer to the
next phase of testing.
We would also like to take this
opportunity to mention that we will be posting our updated Roadmap for
the upcoming updates in the near future.
We are looking forward to moving ever closer to those destinations alongside you, our awesome community.
- Your Goodgame Empire Team
