Well, it’s started. A very small number of builds have gone out into the wild, with minimal functionality, as part of a systems compatibility test. We have disabled pretty much everything but getting people to keep themselves alive, and some ramifications for not doing so, the least of which probably being death. Again, the possibility space is very limited with this build so we can focus on the really important stuff like hardware compatibility.

We will gradually be enabling features on the builds that are in the wild, and at the same time increasing the number of participants in our Experiments. If you’re interested in participating, please sign up for “testing” via the mailing list at ClockworkEmpires.com – I promise we won’t send you any news you don’t sign up for (we hate it when people do that, so we’re not going to be those people).
