Day 635 to Day 641 - Game Trailer, WorldAlpha Story & Alpha Testing

Lots of exciting things have been happening every week, as more and more people get involved in the project. It is exciting for me to see what I have been envisioning for the last almost 2 years finally coming into fruition.
Game Trailer
Well, I realize that our first game trailer was all concept, but we finally have enough gameplay and UI in place to do an actual gameplay trailer. So, we present to you our first true game trailer. I hope you enjoy. Let me know your thoughts.

The Passage to WorldAlpha: StoryGuide to a New Society
Thinking about WorldAlpha, I realized that it really needs a story to go along with it. So, having an award-winning short story author in my brother, I decided to use his services to create the back story to WorldAlpha. So, I present to you The Passage to WorldAlpha: StoryGuide to a New Society
Alpha Testing
It has been an exciting week as we have had alpha testers trying out the economy section of the site. Bugs have been found and suggestions have been made, but overall I think the testers have enjoyed the game, and it the depths that it has. With no real tutorial, players found it a little "confusing" at first, but soon got the hang of it. I'm hoping that the deeper complexity of the game, will be a real feature to those wanting to explore the depths of social strategy gaming.
Next week we will be announcing the rest of our Alpha and Beta testing dates. So, be sure to sign up to be a beta tester, if you haven't already.
