Hello All,
Just to let you all know that the 1st game play alpha for Dawn World Online is out now. I first mentioned it back in Sept 2009 and was hoping it would be ready after 3-4 months. I then took on a small 2 month contract which turned into an 8 month one, making it unbelievably nearly a year later to get to this stage.
There has however been a great deal of advancement in the game development recently, with a lot of the components completed, and a lot of tested code waiting in the wings for better graphics and additional game play concepts. A closed alpha test has been completed with many bugs already fixed, so now we would like to invite and welcome a wider audience of alpha testers from mmorpgmaker.com

There is a youtube channel at:
http://www.youtube.com/user/dawnworldonline with video tutorials showing the game play concepts. Any constructive criticism in keeping with the main concept will be most welcome.
If you would like to be an alpha tester just go to
http://www.dawn-world.com/Forum/ and sign up for an account and PM me (arnienet), I'll set up a game account for you, and you can find install details at
http://www.dawn-world.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=862. There is of course also a website at:
http://www.dawn-world.comThe game is just at the real starting point now with a lot of the effort having been put into the game play elements and server code, but I think there's enough to get the ball rolling now. I suspect there will be some minor server problems to start with as although the server performed well in the closed alpha, it hasn't really been stress tested yet, so please bear with me on that one. The graphics will also steadily improve along with website and forum look and feel during the alpha and beta stages.
So I look forward to any interest in the concept. I'm particularly interested in feedback on the general concept and game play, along with any server issues, and hope the game meets with some approval,
cheers.
