The Repopulation: All Round 1 Backers to Gain Access by Friday

SBFord

According to the August update on The Repopulation site, Round 1 backers who have had previous access to the game during recent events have now been granted 24/7 access to the server beginning Friday. The team is hopeful that by the end of 2014, all backers will be given access as well. In addition, August saw the inclusion of open world player housing, player-created tournaments and the addition of minigames.

Player Created Tournaments were a stretch goal from our Kickstarter campaign and made their way into the game this month. These tournaments will be accessible in the future from arenas in player created cities, but for now are only available in a test instance. The final product will not be instanced. Players can create tournaments using a large list of configuration options such as weapon and armor types, and which activities are allowed during the tournaments including the use of consumables, vehicles or pets. Tournaments can be solo or team based, and have a configurable number of teams. There is an optional buy in cost to participate, which will be distributed amongst the winners. The sponsor can optionally add credits or items to the prize pool. Other players can observe the tournament while the teams participate.

I'd love to know if this game is actually any good..  I havent ended up playing so many indy titles because to put it simply, they have been rough crap....

I'm keeping my eye on this though as well as Elite and SC..

I thought TR was supposed to be released in 2014?  Now they are talking 2015?  It sure will be nice when this game officially launches.

Meeeehhh, maybe not a release date, but they blew their Alpha/Beta schedule out of the water this year. I think they were talking about Round 2 backers getting online in March, now they're pushed back to 2015? Since that time, their "Schedule" has all but disappeared from their site. 

 

All the same, I'd rather it be that way. I think that anyone who's ever seen a game being developed probably cringed with the aggressive schedule they were listing on their site. Nonetheless, they were showing a fairly detailed schedule at one point here

I can't wait for this game, but I also think they're toying with disaster. Their schedule is slipping, yet they're expanding the scope of the game with each round of crowd funding, adding in new stretch goals, etc., etc. If the game was doing like $10 million a round, then it might be a different story, but if we're talking about $100-$200K a round, you're basically talking a few months budget. It's certainly no more than 6-months for a small, small, passionate dev team, working for peanuts.

Ok, probably helps if I read the post. It looks like it is a bit off, it should be all backers by the end of the year, will see about getting that corrected. Round 1 is next week, Round 2 most likely following up next month.

All Alpha 3 access level backers are in already, this is just adding people who had later Beta rounds into the Alpha.

All Alpha 3 backers with access already are in as well, that started in April and ended I believe around  early June for all previous backers and new backers have been coming in each week since then.

I backed thew game early August 2013, Round 2 backer.   I have yet to login and experience the sandbox, big expectations for this game but I do not feel like this game will be out anytime before q3/4 2015...

Hey, thanks for setting an example for how to directly address forum here say, I'm glad I threw some money at you. Loving the transparency (even if your testing schedule did disappear). And coming to talk on forums? Wow, that's ballsy But thanks.

Game is coming along well, I have played, very happy with how it's coming.

Still in Alpha but very promising and improving every day. releasing the game this year would be a suicide. I would say 8 more months is necessary at least to goes to open beta , perhaps even a bit more.

Suzie : your OP is a bit confused : its the $100+ backers (no matter what Round they backed in, that level previously had 1-2 weekends access in Alpha 3) by Friday of this week; and then by next weekend, everyone from Round 1, no matter what the backing level was.

 

Can you please update your post?

 

Edit : oops, missed Josh's post up there beating me to it.
