Some things to note
- Any of this is subject to change but I have waited to post it until I was reasonably certain on the time frames.
- Updates between releases will be posted on a weekly basis
- Beta Phase 3 marks the official mod support. At this point I will do my best to provide all details regarding mod changes, provide mod API documentation and additional features such as in-game mod management. Before this it is still very possible to mod Crea.
EDIT: I have updated the original estimates to better reflect our current status.
EPIC
Oh. I was hoping to be able to play in the beta. Well, at least I’ll still be able to see the game. Can’t wait.
Phase 2 and 3 of the beta will be publicly available. I don’t see why you couldn’t play one of those.
