Project Update: Update on ExpSim from Ray Kimball

Eyeball to Eyeball (E2E) Community, thank you so much for your support of this game! It's been wonderful seeing feedback from so many people on how they've put the published version to use.

That published version was supposed to be accompanied by a spiffy new version of the Experiential Simulation (ExpSim) platform. Among other things, the new platform would have allowed for multiple classrooms to use the game simultaneously, and also given GMs the ability to download all of the message traffic between players. Unfortunately, development of that final version has stalled due to circumstances outside our control. We are currently hunting for a new platform to host ExpSim and deliver the functionality you deserve, and hope to have further news on that front soon.

In the interim, the pre-production version of ExpSim remains available for use. There are a few things to be aware of:
1) The "Download Messages" button on the Admin Panel does not work.
2) The "1962" function that previously allowed GMs to switch between user profiles is no longer working. Instead, you can just use the link for the different user profiles to go to them directly.
3) The server reset bug that resets the game back to the starting defaults after 24 hours still exists. We have created some workarounds for it and can assist you with managing that headache.

Because we are not delivering the full product we promised, we are lowering the per use cost of ExpSim from $40 to $15 until we get the full platform online. Unfortunately, the retail site that is set up for ExpSim doesn't reflect this new wording, and we can't change it (because of developer issues). If you received free ExpSim access as part of the crowdfunding campaign for this game, you will not pay for use of the system. To get access to the system, contact Ray Kimball at [email protected] or at https://42ed.games/contact-us/ with the dates and times you want to use it.

Thanks again for your patience and your support of E2E!
