Hey … my October Challenge game is making real progress!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s the deal: I’m using Steam to distribute the beta, so you need a Steam key. I only have a limited number of those, so first come first serve. Get a beta key here<\/a>. They only work for Windows right now, so if you’re a mac guy like me .. well, you’ll have to wait (or run it under VMWare or something. It works fine that way as well.)<\/p>\n

I’m totally looking for any and all feedback you can provide, the game even includes a chat-window that probably won’t be in the final game but is in the beta so that you can chat with me \/ other players \/ or just complain about bugs \/ give suggestions. All the chat is logged so I can review it later \":)\"<\/p>\n

Thanks a ton! This October Challenge has been great (even if it’s lagging into December now ..) TBH I think this game will be done in maybe 2-3 months. But it’s been fun!<\/p>\n

P.S. If anyone knows a musician who can do good “sneaking around in caves” type music, I’d love to hear about it. Post a link in the comments to their portfolio. <\/p>\n

(I’ve already got an artist lined up to help me with adding a bit of sparkle to the logo \/ icons \/ menus \/ etc.)<\/p>","time":"December 9th, 2011 2:23 pm","title":"Anathema Mines: Now In Beta!"}
