Happy New Year!
Dear SharePlay Newsletter Readers,
In this newsletter, you can read about:
1. Space Merchant goes out of beta
2. New servers for Space Merchant and Monarchy
3. Preview version of MACE
4. Magellan news
5. SharePlay site
1. Space Merchant goes out of beta
-------------------------------
Space Merchant 1.0 has been released, after more than a year of beta testing. More than 15,000 active players have given feedback and helped us to produce this game. A new universe generator, new help files and new games were included within this version. The new release also increased the number of players; we have more than 3200 active players now.
2. New servers for Space Merchant and Monarchy
----------------------------------------------
We are in the process of setting up two new Space Merchant servers to handle the increased load. After some initial testing, we will start new games on them.
A new Monarchy server is also among our plans, possibly within a few weeks. The new server will allow us to run more Monarchy games.
3. Preview version of M.A.C.E.
------------------------------
M.A.C.E. development is under way. At the new M.A.C.E. website, you can take a look at what the game is going to look like. Please keep in mind: it is a work in progress. Visit the M.A.C.E. site at
http://mace.shareplay.com.
4. Magellan news
----------------
We are working hard on The Magellan Conflict. Closed beta testing may start within the next two months. The web site has been redesigned and has a little more info on it: http://www.shareplay.com/magellan.
As you may already know, you will be notified via the newsletter when M.A.C.E. or Magellan starts open beta testing.
5. SharePlay site updates
-------------------------
The main SharePlay site underwent some minor changes and a store update before Christmas. The Space Merchant site has also been recently refreshed.
Thank you for supporting SharePlay. Special thanks to our Monarchy players for the great support they recently showed to Monarchy and SharePlay :)
Regards,
Marta Gabnai
and the SharePlay team
