Ok so we're nearing our Alpha release on the 26th! Which means anyone who pre ordered the special edition gets to try the Alpha and be super helpful with testing, or call us fail developers who can't make a game. You can still get the special edition for the next 9 days, then the offer is over for good.

This is the map that will come with the Alpha to test on by Olmy. Still busy making mine

Same! Bought it on Thursday.

Jenn0_Bing · July 17, 2010 at 4:57 PM

I bought it recently too . Been looking forward to this for so long .

PogoP · July 17, 2010 at 5:51 PM

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not a massive fan of that map so far. I don't think it looks cohesive and looks a little washed out

Edit - I take it back I think lol. Had another look at it, it's growing on me.

This is a really nice project, and I really respect indies that manage to take projects like these from start to finish.

But I have to say, double the price for the special edition for only one black skin when the game ships, rly?

dux · July 17, 2010 at 10:36 PM

You get early access to the Alpha.

Well, 90% buy that version, so I guess it is a completely reasonable price for most people?

D3ads · July 18, 2010 at 4:17 PM

Looking fantastic mate, good work

More than reasonable - it's not the skin, it's the eternal gratitude. It feels like the money makes a huge difference to those actually making the game. Very satisfying.

I'm very excited, I cant wait to help out with the alpha.

jaboo224 · July 18, 2010 at 11:14 PM

Yeah i would rather shell out the extra money for these guys than that extra money for activision.

Charlie got interview yesterday about ns2, and also talks about indie development, making an engine, modding community, pc market and dedicated servers.

Zyn · July 19, 2010 at 12:17 PM

I just bought the special edition, aiding the GOOD FIGHT. Now, if the Spark Editor could work at a framerate higher than ... 1 ... it would be great

Gloglebag · July 19, 2010 at 5:04 PM

Charlie sounds like bad guy in a cartoon.

Sindwiller · July 20, 2010 at 11:37 AM

I'll definitely preorder it soon, you guys are doing fabulous work!

kab · July 20, 2010 at 12:24 PM

I bought the special edition a few days after the pre-orders were launched so I've been waiting for quite a while, like many others. It's been nice to follow NS2 the past year and I'm really looking forward to playing it! Will be most awesome!
