The Road to Alpha!

[Chishio Kunrin]

I'm just curious, do you guys have an estimated time of when alpha will be released? If I understand correctly what was released yesterday would be pre-alpha. I'm hoping that alpha will be released sometime next year, but I don't know, that looks like a lot of work.

They do have quite a lot left on the Road to Alpha graph. And I think they're going to release it in Beta, not Alpha. So, that's even more waiting for us.

lots of time ahead, might as well enjoy every minute of the present!

the most common joke is 2020, but probably within a year or so would be reasonable.

Okay, cool. I'll definitely be here then.

That's fine with me. I hope that there will be a Road to Beta graph too, though, once they complete everything on the lists for Alpha. That would be awesome.

I asked their Lead Programmer earlier if the servers would be open all weekend, and he or she told me that they will be open until sometime this Monday.

it whoulda been good if they left one server on the pre-alpha even if unfinished its kinda great walkaarround with pony friends...

probably expensive to keep it up at the moment.

as far as i know, hosting just need a pc always runing the "host" game wich mean the pc in question dont actually needs to play the game in visual terms, just do the math and stuff for the players to move arround

if its close to a regular game , any pc with the right console can host it with enought connection speed and space... ubuntu is best for that matters

hmm.  maybe they just don't have spare comps?

I'm hosting one of the servers on my home connection. I can say right now that this game most definently need stronger servers. It's just not to take any spare PC

id guess becuse its still pre alpha it consumes more resourses than it should?

Maybe you guys should start a donation pool so that you can afford more/better servers.

If 100% of the money goes toward the game and nothing else, it wouldn't be considered profit, I think.

Did you guys know Luna server is a laptop? I saw it said on Facebook.
