Two months ago I reported that this is the time I expected the game to be complete. How does it stand up to that?
Well, the game's not finished as I wanted to, but it's not far off from that. After cutting some content and a week or maybe two of more work it should be done, so the schedule remains as it was, with closed beta starting next month and release at the end of December.
I've been laying finishing touches to the gathering, which I think is one of the bigger parts of the game. Over a year ago, when I started working on RtI, this was the place I wanted to finish the first demo. Little did I know, that a year ago, I still wouldn't have it done. It's been a lot of work, and I certainly had to reassess my goals, and cut down on the scale of the game as I did the work. Because despite a lot of help I've received from friends, I'm still just a one man.
But speaking of the gathering, that was always a thing I found sad in the Warriors games. In the books the gatherings were always a big events that everyone waited to go to and meet all the cats from the other Clans. And I think that reducing that to a twenty second cutscene, just doesn't do it justice. I'm not a great writer, but I hope that what I've had in plans players will find more satisfying.
Since I want to start closed beta as soon as December starts. I've decided to open the application now: if You want to test the game in the next month, write either here, on in a private message to me that You'd like to test the game. You can add in what You've liked about RtI, what You didn't like and what personal qualities would make You a good tester, but none of this is mandatory.
Thanks for the support I've gotten over the year, it motivated me to put in as much hard work into the game as I could. Will the end result be worth it? I don't know, but I hope it will.

Sure, I'll consider it, but You'd have to register an account here for that.

I'd love to help test it! I've been really excited about the game. I'm good at being specific, so if there are any problems I'd try my best to describe them to you.

I'd also be happy to play more of the game. Beta testing sounds like a delight. How exactly is the closed beta being released? Is it being e-mailed to users, or will there be a download link in a thread that can only be accessed by forum users?

Testers will have access to part of the forums that other forumers can't see. All the builds and information will be linked there.

A small update. The game is complete as of now. I'd like to do a bit of testing myself first to weed out the most critical bugs. Testers (i.e. anyone who applied) will get access on Thursday evening.
