Hi everyone!

Village Sim will be entering beta soon, hopefully within a couple weeks. We are aiming for a late March release date on the Palm platform.

The game will require OS 5.0 and about 3.7 megs of available RAM on your device, and a bit more if you want to install all of the music files.

We'll post some new screenshots here as we progress through alpha into beta phase.

Arthur

Wow! It looks like Raynne and I were both right - it's a sim AND an adventure! YAY! I love the new teaser, Arthur!

Hi Arthur,

Will it be Hi-Res only, or will it support the Palm OS 5.0 orphan the Zire 31? Well it's not exactly an orphan, but it feels like one sometimes.

It should be fine on any 5.0 device. I'm looking forward to hearing how it runs on the Zire 31.

Hi!
We can still have a couple more testers. It depends also on what device you own as we are trying to cover different types of devices and not have too many testers with the same Palm OS!
What you should do is fill our online support form with the following information:
-your Name and Email
-your Device (Name and Series)
-previous testing information (if any)

Please note that you need to be over 18 and be willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement.

If we are able to admit you in the beta test we will contact you with the details.

Raynne we still do our games first on Palm for the time being because Palm is the trickier platform to keep happy. It has a lot of technical hoops that we have to jump through.

We write our games with PPC in mind from the very start now, so bringing it over should be quick and easy.
