The May 5th-8th Housing Beta Event has concluded, and it was a huge success! Housing isn’t for everyone, but hundreds of people signed up, jumped into Apotheosis City, and play-tested the housing system, not to mention those who shared their stories on the forums, by email, or by answering the post-Beta survey. So, thanks! You’re helping us to create the kind of game people will want to play.

Our Player Housing Beta will take place from May 5th to May 8th 2022. This is our 8th feature Beta which has been open to the public. Beta testers will be able to create or reuse a character, roam Apotheosis City and create Player Housing. The event is free, and registration is open. Don’t miss it! We look forward to your feedback to guide further development of Player Housing.

Far more people signed up than expected – this was our largest Beta ever, by far! The vast majority of participants report that they had fun playing the missions in SoH. That’s the main measure of success. Player comments have been very positive, beyond the usual little hiccups and suggestions for improvements.

We’re showing off a massive boss fight in Showdown, the final mission of the Iris arc. The Iris mission arc is available to everyone who registers for the event. Donors are in the game now, playtesting the content to look for bugs, and non-donors will be allowed in on August 14th.

Signups for our upcoming mission Beta event will begin on July 31st! The event itself is scheduled for August 7th. More on that soon, but today, we want to update you on some aspects of powers in SoH that are important, and easy to overlook.

We’ve been working hard to set up another Ship of Heroes Beta event, and now the time is approaching. We have wanted to show off a full mission arc for some time, as well as some other missions. It did take longer to bugfix than we had hoped, but you can expect to try out these missions in late June or July. We are showing off the first Iris mission arc, which has several branching choices that can interact in complex ways – more on that in a future newsletter.
