Get the Clone Bandits Beta!

Hey Folks,

I know a bunch of you are excited about Clone Bandits, and trust me - we hear you! We'd like to try to get the early beta of CB into your hands as soon as we can, so we've devised a clever plan: if you sign up for the mailing list on the main Clone Bandits site, then we'll send you a username and password for the download. Good deal, huh?

Go to this page to get to the mailing list signup, it's right on the left side of the page.

We'll try to get it to you ASAP - Unfortunately, because of E3, we might not be able to get this out to you this week, but within the next couple of weeks, for sure.


Cheers,
Tom

Ok. You asked for it, here it is:

Everyone on the mailing lists right now will get the beta - Yeah!! We're going to have a playtest tomorrow night here at Demiurge Studios, starting 8pm eastern time. You are all welcome to join in, either before or after that time. There should be bots on the server, so even if people aren't around, you can get a feel for the flavor of the mod.

We will be distributing the username and password to download the mod later tonight. We'll also try to get any stragglers at some point tomorrow, so that if you missed getting on the mailing list tonight, you can still play.

When you get your username/password, download and install the mod from the following link:

We weren't planning on doing this test this early, but the positive support (and the large amount of signups on the mailing lists) convinced us that an early rollout was a good idea. We come from the player community, we're big supporters of the player community, and we are very pleased to have the chance to give something back to it.

Have fun with the mod!

Cheers,
Tom

p.s. - Please, keep in mind that this is a BETA version of the mod. It's not ready for the mass market - there are still issues with it, both on the code and art sides. We know this. We also know that only the hardcore read the forums, and that you guys can handle the concept of an early beta. We'll appreciate whatever feedback and suggestions you guys have, just post to the appropriate forum board. Thanks!

First of all, we're happy you like Clone Bandits! We've put a lot of thought and effort into the design and production, and had a lot of bitter fights here over what the Best Choice was for innumerable options.

Yes, we're planning lots of new additions for the mod. We haven't made final design decisions on a lot of things, so I can't be too specific here. Also, would you really want the surprise spoiled?

Finally, we would love to bring this to the retail market, but there are no concrete plans to do so at this time. Maybe if a thousand people all called a publisher, and demanded that it be released. But as of now, no plans.

Cheers,
Tom

Hey everyone,

Sorry we haven't been immediate in our responses here. We appreciate your continuing interest in the mod, and will certainly get you a beta password soon. We have been waiting until enough people sign up to warrant a mass-mail from us, since sending out the beta and password information takes some time out of our day. I'll see if we can do one today or tomorrow.

Cheers,
Tom
