February 17, 2013

New UI Revealed

Well, we have been busy getting the new UI in place and finishing off some of the last elements of WorldAlpha.  Here are some screenshots of the new UI.

Founder’s Packs

For those of you interested in getting early access to WorldAlpha, as well as getting some bonus EarthBucks, and some extra perks we have created a Founder’s Pack.  Each pack brings you awesome value as you start your adventure on WorldAlpha.  We will acknowledge all those who purchase Founder’s Pack, on our Thank you page.   Take a look and pick on up.

Closed Beta this February 26 to March 4

Well, we have listened and are doing a week long closed beta.  Everyone that had an account won’t need to create another.  We hope to have lots of new players to try out the new UI, and check out all aspects of WorldAlpha. If you don't have a closed beta key yet here is your chance to grab one:

Q1_Komodo (mainly inspired by the colour green). Q2_Antlion (predatory bug). Q3_Dragonfly (the white colour really stands out and makes it look more agile for some reason). Q4_Boomslang (its venom makes you bleed out your pores, nasty). Q5_Deathstalker (type of scorpion, perfect name for this ultimate tank).

Here are my suggestions, they have a buildin sense of power :) Q1=Dart Q2=Spear Q3=Bullet Q4=Shotgun Q5=TriMoon ^^ (Yes that last one is both a joke and real entry :P)

I preffer simple and clear when it comes to names hence: Q1: Light tank, Q2: Medium tank, Q3 heavy tank, Q4 super heavy tank and Q5 Specialist tank. It would be easy to reffer to the tanks with for example LT, MT, SHT.

Q3 tank should be called - Snow Panzer
February 17, 2013 | Bob

Day 819 to Day 832: Final Push, Country Founders and Last Closed Beta

April 7, 2013

The Final Push

Well with just over 3 weeks until our planned Open Beta it feels like this is the Final Push.  All the core functionality is coming together.  The UI is being finished off.  The To Do list is getting manageable.   On the programming side the To Do list was over 150 most times, is now down to around 50.  I look forward to our last Closed Beta starting April 16th, and then finally our Open Beta starting April 30th.  It has been a challenging road, but we have learned much along the way, and look forward to bringing WorldAlpha to a larger audience.

Country Founders

Over the last few weeks, we have had a few more Country Founders sign up.  Here are the countries that we have thus far.

Lunar Empire

Eagle Nation

United Republic States

Earth Galactic Empire

Plus we had another country founder sign up yesterday, but we haven’t received the name, and there will be one additional admin-led country.  So, thus far 6 countries, and we can add more if anyone is interested, you can sign-up for a Founder’s Pack, and find out more details about Country Founders here.

Last Closed Beta and Open Beta Dates

Our seventh and final beta is going to take place on April 16th to April 22nd.   We want to make this our biggest and best beta thus far.  So, for all of those who have beta tested thus far, please come back and give it a final look through.  We appreciate all the input our beta testers have had, and the changes that have resulted from hearing from our dedicated citizens.    If you have beta tested before you can just login with the same email and password.  For someone who needs a beta key you can get one here:

Day 784 to Day 818: Closed Beta, Country Founders and Tank Names

March 24, 2013

Closed Beta this Tuesday, March 26th to April 1st

Closed Beta #5 is upon us.  We are doing another week-long beta.  If you have played in past, we encourage you to play again and try the new features.  We have included a Tutorial finally, as well as the ability to add a city to your country.  The UI continues to transform as well.  If you have played before, all you need to do it login in at:

http://www.worldalpha.net

If you have never received a beta key you can get one at:

http://worldalphabeta6.reachgeneration.com/

Country Founders

WorldAlpha is a new world, so all the countries and cities are going to be created by you, its citizens.  The initial countries are going to be from citizens that have signed up early to become a country founder.  Becoming a country founder when the game begins has its advantages for the following reasons.

1.)    Country Founders, along with any other supporters, will be able to get into the game 3 days early to set up their country and cities the way they want.

2.)    Country Founders will be able to choose their own constitution for their country.

3.)    Country Founders will set the country and city avatars (flags).

4.)    Country Founders can set their constitutions to have a vote in 60 days, to allow enough time to set up their country, and steer it in the right direction.

5.)    Officials will not be able to impeach, and citizens won't be able to revolt in the first 60 days.

So, far we have 2 confirmed countries, Lunar Empire and Earth Galactic Empire, and one that is nearing confirmation in Eagle Nation.

If you want to set up a country, you will have to have EarthBucks to do this.  EarthBucks can be earned or won in game, but the easiest way to secure them is purchasing a Founder’s Pack.  A country will cost E$ 5,000 and a city will cost E$ 5,000, so country founders will need a minimum of E$ 10,000.   Founder’s Packs, as well as giving EarthBucks, also provide additional special items, including Country Formation and City Formation papers.  So, you wouldn’t have to buy them.   So, if you want to become an initial Country Founder, you would have to buy a Founder’s Pack of at least Business Tycoon or higher.  You can buy Founder’s Packs here:
