I love the smell of beta in the morning
« on: September 26, 2011, 06:51:14 am »
Sitting here with credit card in one fist, bagel in another, eagerly awaiting the 'release'.  Assuming it does come out today, congratulations on your release!  Obviously just a milestone with a project as ambitious as this, but one where all your fans get to enjoy the enormous work that was put in to just get the basics of the game working.  I just want to say thank you to all the team members who managed to get this game available to the public.  Here's hoping for a killer 1.0 release and huge popularity in the future!  Now where did my bagel get off to...

Thanks! We're still on schedule to release today.  Just a few more polishing tweaks!

Haha I'm glad to see someone else sitting right where I am this morning, constantly hitting refresh in between bites of cereal.
Thank you arcen, for my countless hours playing AI war and for continuing to make games that keep me waiting on the edge of my seat.

Now it's off to open a new restaurant, woohoo!

Just finished my dinner - I'm in real danger of having to try and be sociable if I don't see a download link soon! :p

EDIT:
Just pulled this from the "who's onlin" screen - looks promising :)

I'm at work with a pretty strict deadline atm so I sort of hope that the release comes when I get home, but at the same time I sort of hope it doesn't.

I'm in work too in the UK looking forward to the release. I've really enjoyed watching the development process and can't wait to try it out for myself.

I also promise to not start an "it's 10am EST hurry up and take my money" thread if the page isn't up exactly on time.   8)

Oh man, I'm excited to get out of university today! I decided to check on Arcen Games just on a whim, I had no idea there was something special today. I've followed AI War from the topic on Bay 12 games, and own every iteration of it and even bought the set for two friends.

I will entirely blame you guys if I don't pay attention during class, now. :P

Just to check, we can pre-order when the beta is released, right? Or did we have to do this already?
