Project Update: Licenses Ahoy!
Starting Friday evening and running most of the day Saturday, I sent out license codes to everyone who completed their survey here before Friday afternoon (US east coast time). And just now I sent codes out to the 10 or so additional folks who answered the survey in the past 2 days. And if you're just 'following' the project you can still make a late pledge here--but that will end in the next week or two.
If you want to make a late pledge or you lost your survey link, this link should take you there.
I'll loop around again tomorrow and once/day to send licenses to anyone new most days until surveys slow to a trickle.
Meanwhile I'm packaging up the icon sets and plan to get those sent over the course of the next week. (Not sure when--it will depend on how easy it is to do, US Thanksgiving, any bugs that pop up, and so on.) They will likely come from DriveThruRPG.
BTW, if you did download the beta promptly when you got your email, well it already had a bug fix. An update to the beta already went out on Sunday evening so Beta 1.01 is current. It fixes an issue of adding a schema code to the file format (which was needed because we've got 3 different version '1.00's). Fortunately the likelihood & impact is very low in both cases. Also, we fixed a zoom issue when using "toolboxes" instead of the right-side-tabs for that the terrain/feature/shapes/etc editing. This zoom issue also made it impossible to select map objects. And one new/improved feature is in 1.01 as well: we're re-loading any settings changes you make when generating rivers/coasts/empires etc. on the individual dialogs that you can access via the "Generate" menu when you have a world/kingdom map already open. Previously these settings were only re-loaded on the main new world/kingdom map dialog.
We're still working on several features that are incomplete and of course ironing out bugs. But the nice thing about software is we can put out this "Beta" and continue that additional work. I expect to truly finish those features near the end of the year.
Finally, we'll be putting out our regular newsletter later today as well... As a quick preview of our Black Friday sale: Use the code '25percentoff60' to get 25% off deck/dice/book orders over $60 in our store, plus free US shipping.
Thank you!
