Just wanted to Say the site has announced today that Open Alpha has started/is starting soon.
You can't play just yet, but a forum has gone up and he is going to start distributing keys soon, so I suggest you register there.
You can also download the Alpha and stare at the Title Screen if you wish to do so.

Thanks for the bump, this looks very interesting.
I'm being totally serious. But from the video and the pictures it doesn't look that good of a game
It's going to fail due to a very small amount of people that will play it.
And it doesn't look too good, really.
The released alpha runs flawlessly on Linux using wine.
It's a shame that it looks there will be time fee for playing after all.
If he keeps it low, I will probably pay it anyway.
Apparently this alpha does not actually let you play it just tells him which graphics etc work.

Good. We don't want people like you playing who don't understand or appreciate the work of art this guy has created
I emailed Eskil asking a few questions. I am hoping he will answer them. Yes I asked when the keys might be released.
After spending a lot of time on his modelling program, I really want to see how this game looks and plays.

He answered me.

The monthly fee can change just to let you know, but he is thinking of 3 Euros for the alpha and 10 for the release. So if this is the fee then it will be about 14$ a month for it once released and 4$ a month for the alpha.
Sent him an email yesterday as well.

Players will time out.

10 Euros for the game 3 for the Alpha.

I don't think it will make the game any better.

Wow I am so excited for this.

Did you even think about them questions "how do u think it will go lOL"

[QUOTE=qurl;17510641]That was released publicly?[/QUOTE]
Yeah the modelling programs were released publicly for free.

That's not what I meant. I meant I wanted to know what it was like to play it and have to see the graphics from a video.
I just watched his video of the tools he used to make it. As a semi decent maya modeler I was absolutely blown away.

That is not what I meant. I meant how does he think the first release will go in terms of people buying and playing it. Nor did i say "lol" in my email. I also used proper spelling and grammar.

it was a dumb question and you know it
(hence the dumb answer he gave)
That looks awesome, seems like a lot of work however and a monthly fee isn't exactly nice.
The verse apps he developed are super cool, glad he released them.

Would it be at all good for a first time modeler?

It is and I know it is, but I wanted to see his answer. Mmmm k? Now drop the subject.
[QUOTE=DanTehMan;17540855]Would it be at all good for a first time modeler?[/QUOTE]
Yes and no. It teaches a lot of importance. If you had someone walking you through with it, you'd learn quite a few lessons. But if you want to pump out something truly decent, no. It's also multiplayer so you can get some unique results with a friend!
Someone should create a Verse server then we can all work on stuff together :D

I'd be down. I would even host but I'm not entirely sure how that works.

You just double-click on verseserver.exe and it should work.

Yeah but is that all there is to it? I thought that was simply for local servers.
