Planetary Annihilation Alpha Information

Honestly, I think that if executed properly, it can do a lot better than the standard DLC model that is so popular now. Thing is that they can keep PA at the same pricepoint(or close to it) over a much larger period of time because the game's value will grow as more and more content is added. It also lowers the barrier to entry, it's just one purchase and you get everything with no hassle.

Obviously there are many pitfalls that can happen, but I think Long term it can work out much better.

My credit cards are ready for commander hats.

I've got a question: will i be allowed to stream alpha on twitch.tv?
And is there any graph about the amount of alpha-testers? (just curious)
And will alpha have a full amount of units to build?

1] viewtopic.php?f=64&t=45514

2] Just look at the Kickstarter Backs for a rough estimate of total potential testers.

3] It's not much of an Alpha if everything is done already. Neutrino said in regards to the whitebox pics that those are the units they feel are the minimum required to start figuring out the core gameplay stuff, and that stuff would be added as it was needed.

Guys, my english is not perfect so it's not always easy for me to express exactly what i think, but all i said is that "is doesn't seem nonsense". And i said that only to explain why did i ask about galactic war. And suddenly i'm a naysayer who wants to hold the alpha to have galactic war in it :?

So i just wanted to explain why did i ask about that, nothing more. I'm totally ok with dealing with an early product, so it was just a harmless question for the sake of curiosity.

Your link...it says i'm not authorised to read this forum=(

Backers Lounge. Guess there's not a duplicate on General Discussion yet (which is very rare by the way). :roll:

Long story short: Neutrino hasn't decided exactly when we'll be allowed to post videos.
Might let us within the first few days... might hold us back until late Alpha...

s'all up in the air at the moment.

It's a thread about your question that contains a post by garat saying that they have not yet decided if streaming and stuff will be allowed.

Sorry, one of the side effects of having 2 General Discussion subforums, Nanolathe summed it up pretty well.

How does one get into the backers forum? I backed for the alpha access, but can't seem to get in.

I think its kickstarter not pre order, but im likely wrong

Back when I bought mine, it took a couple days for it to open up for me.

I didn't preorder, I got the $90 Alpha access backer reward thing.

I just bought the $90 last week.

Is the chance that I will be able to participate in Alpha at the end of May is slim?

I wish I could afford to upgrade to the cosmic addition.

Everyone who has an 'Alpha Ticket' will get into the Alpha as soon as humanly possible for the Uber Team.
Try not to get bent out of shape about the exact timing.

lol, who's 'bent out of shape'?

Can't a brother be excited?

DAYM! :ugeek:

No one's getting bent out of shape. We're not sure about the exact timing of things for anyone yet, other than being pretty confident about end of May window. So be excited, hang tight, and we'll spill more beans as we have them.

I love beans! :mrgreen:

To say this in public you really seem to be pretty confident indeed.

If I don't get in before Col Jessep and tehemopenguin I WILL get bent out of shape.
