Релиз русской версии запланирован на осень 2013 года.

The russian version of the game is sheduled to be released this autumn.

I suppose the content on this site isn’t under NDA as it’s splashdamage who owns the site and everyone can visit the site. Some new pictures from the maps as well :slight_smile:

If it does conflict the NDA terms, please remove my post.

So I am backing a game that players from russia can alpha/beta test for free? Please tell me i got this wrong…


(Nail) #23

nope, you are correct, but then again, I play for free as well

I’ve QA’d my fair share of alphas and betas and quite honestly, assisting the direction a game takes with a very responsive dev team is priceless.

I think technically spoken DB won’t be in alpha anymore by then. It’ll probably be more like open beta. And since basically every game, that goes through alpha and beta testing will eventually reach the open beta phase, I don’t see where this is much of a surprise, or a big reveal, that DB will also reach this state at one point. And bear in mind, that autumn 2013 means, that DB has been tested from alpha, and later closed beta testers, for almost one full year.

Also, this:

Why wouldn’t it be in alpha anymore? The game still is in alpha and there are already russian players who got invited into the alpha for free.

I agree that it’s a bit weird that russian players get free alpha keys and can already play the game, but people who paid still have to wait.

I responded to your reply above, where you are saying, that the game will be released in russia in autumn. And then it won’t be in alpha anymore. Though I didn’t knew, that they already have free access to the current alpha version.

PS: I can’t find the thread were badman stated, that DB is going beta in the end of this year, but I’m pretty sure I’ve read it somewhere.

Well they do.

No, what was said was that veteran and elite guys would be able to play before the end of the year and also that they’d be able to play at least a month before open beta. It was never said that there would be a beta this year.
