Building the beta

It has been a while since we last updated this site but no fear, we have been hard at work on Interim all winter. Micael has been building a final version for the back end of the game and has also started work on a more dynamic interface for the individual Neighborhood and City Blocks in the game. We hope it’ll be both easier and more powerful than a literal city map with rigid (and identical and boring) rectangular blocks and roads. This means that the beta phase is well on its way!

I have also drawn some temp icons for the different kinds of houses in the new interface. These are just for the time being, we hope to be acquiring some final art soon. You can see some of the temporary pics here in this post.

We will be contacting the play testers shortly with an update on the game. We hope also to have weekend-long test in the coming weeks to see how the game does over a longer period of time. We will probably also need more participants…
