Prepare for Silk Alpha Testing!
Dear friends,
On Friday, the Advisor hiring for Silk was completed - this was the last major system needed to reach Alpha. We need to cross some t's and dot some i's in the next day or so, but the Alpha testing of the game will begin this week.
If you've already registered to be a Silk alpha tester, we'll contact you soon to tell you how to download the build, whether you can share screenshots and videos (hint: you can!), and how to report bugs. If you'd like to be an alpha tester and haven't registered yet, just email alpha@ihobo.com and include a sentence saying why Silk appeals to you.
Also, we still have openings for Community Nazgul to help wrangle communications with Kickstarter backers when the campaign launches in a few weeks time. If you love getting engaged with gamer communities and want to become an ihobo volunteer, please email nazgul@ihobo.com and say which social media you use (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) and also mention if you have any prior experience with Kickstarter. (Although unpaid, you can put volunteer jobs like this on your resume, and the campaign will only run for 30 days, so it shouldn't be a big task.)
Our thanks to everyone who has supported Silk so far! There will be another newsletter very soon to announce the date of the Kickstarter, so keep watching your inbox for further developments.
More soon!
Chris.
