During the weekend Oxeye visited Stockholm and held a speech at the Swedish Game Awards 08 Kickoff event. We’ve written a little story about our trip there in our forums. You find it here:
Hello!
The development of Harvest is going along smoothly, and to make sure everyone is up to date about the game we have made some trailers! Just head over to our trailers section and be greeted by 3 new trailers from Harvest: Massive Encounter!
Harvest: Massive Encounter is present – with over 170 other participants – in the list of games competing in the Independent Games Festival. The quality of the games submitted is really high, but we hope that the judges will find our gem in the pile! If we are lucky the game will be nominated for one or more of the prizes, and invited to the finals in San Francisco next year. These nominations are announced in December.
Until then, wish us luck in the forums or #harvestbeta at QuakeNet, and check out the full list of competitors here: http://www.igf.com/php-bin/entries2008_1.html
The open beta test of Harvest: Massive Encounter is now completed. A big thanks to all of you who participated and shared your thoughts and comments about the game. We have really felt that the feedback was valuable and will be put to good use.
We do not currently have a release date of the full game. Please sign up to to the news letter at the bottom of this page to receive notifications on Harvest’s updates. However, the development of the game continues and will soon enter the closed beta test of the full version. We will invite a number of people to this beta test, as it was described in the open beta readme, but also to a number of other people in gratitude to the overwhelming and exhaustive feedback you have given us. You will be contacted by email when it’s time.
Thank you!
We’ve created a Facebook group for Harvest called “A Massive Encounter”. If you are a Facebook user, feel free to join us and post comments or images of the game there!
Great news!
The open beta test of Harvest: Massive Encounter is now available for Mac OS X. Get it now from the download page!
That’s right! It’s time to show those alien scum who’s the ruler of this universe!
So, head on over to the Downloads sections and get your copy!
If you want to chat with other Harvest players or the developers, come and join us in IRC at #harvestbeta on Quakenet. You can also post screenshots, suggest features and report bugs in our forums!
The Beta will be open until October 1 2007.
