Title: Alpha Signup Results & Alpha 8 Update
Post by: Jar on August 01, 2014, 03:10:53 PM
Check your email -- results have been sent. 

Whether or not you were accepted, thank you everyone for applying.  We had quite a few applicants, and we unfortunately could not let in everyone.

As for Alpha 8, we are still patching up some big bugs in the collision system. We are making progress on these issues and in other areas as well, we just don't want to release something that isn't stable for many users.

We hope to have it ready to go by sometime next week. Once it's all set, we'll release it to our current alpha testers to make sure it's ready for a wider release. After that's confirmed, we'll send out the Steam codes to all the new alpha testers. 

Thanks everyone for your patience and understanding.  Alpha 8 is going to be worth the wait.

Its a shame. Everyone who didnt get accepted don't forget US2 is coming out this year so you can still buy it when it is out.

you are so very true my friend, to all those that didn't get the Alpha ask around i think Spyceeper is willing to do some request and (hopefully) the new 50 testers will upload lot's of beautiful screenshot's and video's for your eye's to be dazzled with  8)   with any luck the alpha tester's will help make Ubox THE BEST LARPING (YES LARPING) space simulator EVER!,

I've had a spate of bad luck recently (wisdom tooth problems, difficulty ordering stuff online) so seeing the email in my inbox was one of the best things ever.

"We received almost 500 great applications, and while we unfortunately could not accept everyone, you made it through. Congratulations!"


Definitely a pick-me-up from a bad week.  :)

Well, this just about makes me have a grin the size of a football field for the next 5 years.
 I will make videos detailing bugs, among other shenanigans in the world of Alpha.

We received almost 500 great applications, and while we unfortunately could not accept everyone, you made it through. Congratulations!

We are unfortunately still sorting out some issues with the upcoming Alpha 8.  We hope to have it ready sometime next week, at which point we will release it to our current alpha testers. This will give us a day or two to confirm its stability. After that, we will send you your Steam codes for access to Universe Sandbox ² Alpha.

In short: we hope to send you your Steam code within the next two weeks.

Thank you again for applying and for your interest in Universe Sandbox ².

When I get tired of waiting, I watch youtube videos of alpha 7 to remind me of what I'm about to get. And since it's alpha 8, it'll be even better!

Also, to be fair to the 450 who got rejected, we should post many videos and screenshots for them. If they ask what happens when you do something, show them what happens.

What's with you guys and asking people to lock threads seriously
backseat moderators everywhere, yo.

it's why there are rules against it at every other forum ever. backseat mods don't think actual moderators are capable of their own jobs. conversely, if you left a forum to a backseat moderator, you'd have dozens of locked threads on any first page.

I've been administrating forums for 15 years off and on, I've seen it over and over again. somehow a backseat mod becomes an actual one and then everything gets so bad they have to be demoted – usually very quickly.

I have no doubt every one of these people wants to be a moderator and uses these little suggestions as ways to say "look at me! I'm good at upholding order! promote me!"

oh well.  :-\

Okay that's a pet-peeve of mine there, Please DO NOT link my action's,or statement's with anyone else i'm not them nor are my reasoning's the same and if ya payed attention to what i was saying it was of some importance to the new 50 tester's, i was asking if this post can be lock so people wont have to go finding it in the ocean of thread's >:(  ALSO i made a mistake and used the wrong word i ment to pin the post not lock it away
Title: Re: Alpha Signup Results & Alpha 8 Update
Post by: Jim Jam Science Mans on August 07, 2014, 09:30:16 PM
Locking it will not achieve it. Stickying or pinning will, but locking will actually prevent it from being kept up prominently on the front page - not that it really needs to be, to be honest.

Yeah,  I remember when I wanted to be a mod. (Well, I'd be up for it right now if someone offered me but I'm not concerned with that because all hail Bla) Like these people, there was pretty much zero chance I'd be accepted. Oh well, it's something you learn to get over I guess.
I don't get the appeal tbh. there's nothing that really comes with it. you just have to deal with people's nonsense all the time. where's the fun in that? I guess everybody wants some 'prestige' even if it's not really real. lol.

the thread's fine it can easly be put back on track when ever someone from GA comment's, people get attracted to it.Like Human's to gold, that or anyone that has a reputation around here people subconsciously fallow figure head's.
