Thank you, Game Jolt community. We were absolutely blown away by the response our call for #GameJoltNext testers generated.

And now, the news you’ve been waiting for: An early build of #GameJoltNext has been opened up to the first round of testers. If you were selected for this first wave of testing, you have already received an email from us.

Note that some elements like user and developer dashboards are not in place yet; this build is for testers to have a go at basic browsing and navigation of the site from a gamer’s perspective.

What If I Didn’t Get Selected?

Don’t worry! If you didn’t get selected this time, it doesn’t mean you won’t be able to be a tester. This is just the first wave and we’ll be opening up testing to more and more people as time goes by.

In the meantime, you can follow along with the Issue Tracker to stay informed about what kinks are being worked out and what’s planned for the future.

Also, keep an eye on blogs and social media, etc. If you want another peek at the site, maybe you can convince some testers to throw some stuff out there! There is no press embargo, non-disclosure agreement, or veil of silence. Testing isn’t closed because it’s a secret; it’s just easier to manage issue tracking with a smaller group.

Once again, thanks to you all!
