A wild closed beta appears!

Finished the last sidequest, and done with the basic testing by myself, I sent the closed beta to my trusted testers... Bugs are already being fixed (I hate it how I keep making the same dumb mistakes over and over again... But I hate it also when I make new, creative mistakes, so I guess I just don't like mistakes in general), suggestions are starting to appear, and I am already planning some more stuff.

Usually, I work on minor things after a closed beta, so that I don't need to interrupt big projects halfway to fix a bug (bug reports have this uncanny ability to reach me whenever I start working on something new), and this time is no different. I am going to add a follow up to Gellon side-quest, if you managed to let him know his partner was stealing money from him (this should have been in the game a long time ago), some more random scenes during space travels, stuff like that.

Maybe something more should end up in the game, before I make this release, but it's kind of late in this development cycle, so I am conflicted about starting something big, like a new planet for the main quest... Maybe another side-quest or the beginning of Piper's romance could be possible targets, or maybe I am just going to be "fuck that" and make an early release, so that I don't have to worry about it going against my plans for a release in the first two weeks of December... I am not sure what's best for the game, I guess, that's why I keep changing my mind on this.

Anyway, I think that all in all things are going good, if I am worrying about these things, because it means that there is already something to look forward to, and I am just worrying about making a good relase, not if I will do it or not. :D
