Hello there you amazing people.

I have opened the application form once again, this time for round 7.
[Link at end of the devlog]

There have been some changes in the requirements since last time.

Here are some of the requirements:

• The minimum age is now set to 16 instead of 14.

• The nickname isn’t required as it is only an alternative is you want something else
  to be written in the credits if you end up in that.

• There is no “max” amount of people set, however i will be selecting carefully still.
  (The game is still in very early stages) Yes even after almost 2 years now.

The application will run for a while and i will valuate and give feedback when the time for the next round is ready.
As i mentioned in the last devlog, it will be sometime early 2017.

• Within the first couple of months; i promise!

Please take this seriously, if you are 10 years old and really want to be a part of this, there will be more open age range
in round 8, 9 and 10. -> 10 being the last in stage 1.

i know the stages and my development process can be confusing, just trust me when i say i do have control over it!

Some have asked me to list how i see the development “roadmap” and i can give some parts of it just to clear some things up.

Here is how i have “sort of” listed it myself:

There might be more rounds added in between, some changes on focus etc. But this is the “plan” i am following at the moment.

Stage 1:

		
			Testing round 1 = Very early testing, first time for the "public".
Testing round 2 = Still very early testing, more people and local testings.
Testing round 3 = First round with more actual gameplay.
Testing round 4 = First "official" testing round.
Testing round 5 = First round with real feedback.
Testing round 6 = The round where i got the most out of and really helped the development.
Testing round 7 = [The upcoming round]: This is where i hope the previous testers see some improvements and i get more feedback on the changes rather than what to "fix".
    |- I Already am working on the bugs and i am aware of them.
Testing round 8 = This is where i hope the testers get to explore other homes, the custom builder and more of the story[Historical-Story mode].
Testing round 9 = In this round i hope the feedback can help me smooth out the "last" bugs and glitches to improve the gameplay and experience.
Testing round 10 = After this round and the feedback i hopefully get, i hope to release the first "update" to the demo(since i have plans of releaseing the darn demo soon as possible)
		
	

Stage 2:

		
			I had plans of timing the versions so the second stage started out with "version 2.0.0" in the alpha.
However i see that i will get past that version number before, that doesn't matter though.
*The current version is now: 1.8.9P3a-b1(build985)* The next round will start at *1.9.0*
Round 1 = At this round, i hope to have started on the "Story mode" and have gotten far enough in "Normal mode" and the "Horror mode".
    |- The plan for this round is to get the testings a bit more open(in game) to let the player be a bit more free, try to actually play the game as i intend it to be.
Round 2 = If the last round went well, i hope to have sorted out previous bugs and test out all the fixes and hopefully get any POSITIVE critisism back so i can improve the game further.
Round 3 = By this point i hope to have gotten around to start on "Paranormal mode" and finish the "Historical-story mode". The testings will be done mostly in those modes.
Round 4 = At this point, hopefully the 2nd demo update have been released and more "minor" scenes like the travel methods have been started on. *Which will be what the testers test out*
Round 5 = This might be the last round in stage 2, which will turn the focus towards finishing the last touches on the current version at this point. As with the last point in stage 1.
		
	

Stage 3:

		
			Round 1 = If everything have gone according to plan, this will "probably and hopefully" be the first stage of the beta.
    |- That means the content will have increased insignificantly since the alpha and the current(today) version.
Round 2 = ? <- I set the question mark here as i do not want to set further plans in "stone" and see how everything works out.
		
	

I hope this might ease up some minds and let you know what will happen and so on.

If you have any thoughts, please let me know!

Here is the current application:
Round 7 Application right here.

This will be up for a little while, as written at the top i will take time to go through the applications closer to the testing round.

Thank you for your time, hope this is some good news for you all :)
