And also Kevin, one of the creators of Tinkatolli posted this in the
TinkAbout it Blog:
We are starting to get a lot of questions about beta testing. Exogie, one of our most enthusiastic Tinkerers, emailed us and suggested that we write a blog post to let everybody know what’s going on with the beta. We thought that was a great idea, so here it is.
First, we want you to know that we are working night and day (it feels like that, anyway ) to get the beta released. We know that it’s not going to be 100% perfect when we let the first testers in, but it’s important to us that we don’t have any big glitches that might cause players to get really frustrated.
We had our first closed beta test this summer, with about 200 kids from a school in the US. The testers were super excited about Tinkatolli, and they had a ton of great ideas for things we could add to the world (we have a whole mountain of cool things we want to start adding as soon beta-testing is up and running!). The testers, of course, also had a list of things that didn’t work so well, or that they found frustrating.
After the first test ended in September, we hunkered down with the list of ideas, problems, and glitches and went to work getting ready for the start of the next beta test. We’re almost there! We don’t want to set a specific date, but soon we will be contacting the first group of kids on our list of Tinka-testers.
We hope you understand that we won’t be able to let everybody in at once (there are a LOT of kids on the list). We’ll invite a small group in at first, run some tests for a while, and then invite some more testers. Once we feel confident that we have all of the glitches worked out, then we’ll open the doors of Tinkatolli for everybody.
And when that happens, we’ll hunker down again and start adding all of the great ideas that we’re sure you’ll have. We can’t wait!
