FAQ: Kingdom Rush Development

[aftandil]

Question - "Was there any sponsor? Or did you have to use your own money to develop it?"
Answer - "We funded ourselves, the sponsor came in after the game was made, so we use our money to pay the rent during development time."

its clear, but one another question.
Were there any suggestions from AG, which Ironhide include in beta-verion before closed beta-test? Or Ironhide send version to AG, and it immediately went into beta-test?

Whats ag???

[Chimto]

Armor Games. Duh, that's quite obvious.

[Giangreymon]

[Giangreymon]

haha! Btw i hope that they(i mean the devs)will tell us when they post the exact date of the next release of kr

[Epicazeroth]

They've said they're not sure yet. They might be now, but not when they posted that.

[Vanzen]

which was condition of KR when you contacted ArmourGames?

For finding a sponsor we posted the game on FGL (www.flashgamelicense.com). The game was around 90% complete at the time.

I'm not sure i understood the question. We had a somewhat closed beta test and when we felt the game was ready it went on open-beta at the Armorgames blog. We harvested a lot of data and user feedback from the open-beta that allowed us to tweak a few levels, fix bugs and adjust some features (for example the upgrade reset button). Then the game went live on the AG portal

:lol: haha! Btw i hope that they(i mean the devs)will tell us when they post the exact date of the next release of kr

As soon as we have an idea we will make the announcement, so far it is too early to know.

Im ready for the open-beta and would like to take part in the closed one if u dont mind. PLZ just bring it on!

[Chimto]

The game isn't even in beta yet. You do really expect the devs to work so quickly like that, don't you?

[Giangreymon]

Beta testing means you can play the whole game in advance but you're obligated to offer some info such as bugs, degree of difficulty, or other improvements

[Epicazeroth]

The stages are pre-alpha, alpha, beta, full version, miriad updates, right? My friend thinks alpha is final.

[suin]

Wow, I thought they were closed beta, open beta and then full version. And I didnt know there are alpha ones existing but shoud be alphabetically

[Vanzen]

Here is wikipedia page with info on the development cycle : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_r ... life_cycle

But to make it short it goes like this :
Alpha, unfinished full of bugs meant for inhouse testing.
Beta, finished (or almost finished), with several bugs. Can be closed or open. We always do closed and may do an open afterwards.
RC, Release Candidate, a finished version that could still need a few tweaks.

The KR sequel can be said is on a very early Alpha stage

*Then again Pablo (lito) is the master software guru and he knows a lot more about this than i do

[Giangreymon]

ohh... thanks
all i know is the beta ver and alpha ver.
i never heard of RC

[suin]

Aw!!! you said it is on a very early stage or testing stage, so how long did it take to reach the RC stage from that point on in the case of KR1?

[Giangreymon]

Theres no kr2 right? Even in the future
