BETA! Rolling out.

Not to me, so no spoilers please!

Even though I don't qualify, I'm really excited for this. It means the game is so close!!

Exciting! All you lucky beta kids be sure to take lots of video and right lots of impressions for the rest of us! It's hard to believe some of you will actually be playing a new Tex Murphy game after all these years.

what does beta mean

A really good frat.

Beta is one of the last stages of game development, meaning the full thing will be here soon!

I may be wrong, but if it's like the beta (pre release) for Broken Age, we will be told not to post videos or screenshots of it... This is just what I'm assuming, I may be wrong.

I can't wait for Beta-time. I hope this means the full game isn't too far away.

That was more because Broken Age contained a major plot-twist that they didn't want getting out. They also reversed that decision a day later.

Other projects like Leisure Suit Larry and SpaceVenture were totally open from the start and had no problem with posting videos. Obviously, we should respect any requests by Big Finish if they don't want it shown, but otherwise, let's see it!

Beta means the build is complete but they haven't gone through and taken out any bugs that exist. Leisure Suit Larry had some terrible reviews though so hopefully that curse will not apply here (I can't see how it will given what we've seen so far).

I do qualify for Beta but I'm still torn between playing it now or waiting until a bug-free version is released. The number of bugs in the game is likely to be quite low - they will probably have taken out most of the biggies, but it will be the small ones that can be hard to find.

Its nice of everyone explaining what beta is ....but I am sorry it was only a joke.

I read Jen's thread title in Peter Cullen's voice.

How do you get your hands on the beta?

The beta is only for backers who pledged $250 or more. If you didn't already do that, it's too late to get the beta (unless someone has a code they don't want to use).

Those eligible will shortly be getting an email with the code to redeem on GOG.

still no email as yet
