Host Holic Hits Alpha!

#1 by redpandagames - Aug 11 2012

Deadline to like is this Sunday at Midnight.

Hey guys!

We have an alpha build for the [Dead link removed]Host Holic that needs testing. We will be giving out builds to everyone who "likes" our Harvest Festival project on facebook:

www.facebook.com/HarvestFestivalAllSigns

Simply "like" the page and we will forward you a copy of [Dead link removed]Host Holic.

So easy, right?

So I played the alpha and I have mixed feelings about the game. I thought it would be a somewhat lighthearted game, but it had things that I felt that don't belong in the game.

A woman is going to Japan to teach but when you find out the mystery of what was happening to the boys it really left me with a bad feeling. I just didn't feel like this storyline fitted with the game.

I don't want to sound rude at all, and I hope that I am extremely wrong and that this game is really successful, but I am the type of person to buy these games and after playing that storyline I can't see myself buying it.

No, not at all. Thanks for telling me how you felt about it. I'll PM you to prevent any spoilers for other people playing the game.

I pre ordered this game a while back for $10, and even liked harvest festival on facebook as well when it was mentioned on twitter but have gotten anything. Will I recieve the game once it's officially out?

Maybe my e-mails to you are getting blocked?

I sent out an e-mail option to receive the alpha, beta, or 0 bug build on August 1, so if you didn't reply to that, then you automatically get put on the 0 bug build option.

Did you like the Harvest Festival page before Sunday last week? Sunday was the deadline, so if you liked it after that, then I wouldn't have sent anything out.

Please PM with your e-mail address and your facebook ID me and I will take a look at what happened.

Thanks for asking! Sorry about the mix up. I'll take a look and figure out what happened.
