Hello Happy Penguins!

Thanks again for another great week of beta testing! This week we squashed a lot of bugs. Some were ones you see, others were ones you don’t see like loading speeds, etc. Believe it or not, we have almost completely rewritten the game since the beginning of the beta test to make things faster with less bugs.

This week’s big challenge is the Sled Racer game. We have been working hard and we’re nearing the finish line. The big improvements will be seen in an all new game entrance, finish line results, and the coolest part, having 4 racers instead of 2.

Thank you all for being so patient. When we first started the beta test, we had no idea what bugs we would find. With your help, we feel like we’re almost ready for launch. We don’t want to give an official launch date until we make sure that all of these new features work properly, but just know that we’re almost there.

BIG PARTY!!!!

Wednesday, 3pm-5pm (GMT / Europe) & 3pm-5pm (pacific / North America)

We’re having a party! Why you ask? Well, mostly because we felt like we needed some fun in the middle of all this testing, but also, it will allow us to perform one of our final tests, size! Since we began beta testing, we have never had more than 50-100 penguins on at one time, but we need to try and get as many people on as possible. So we said, “The best way to get lots of penguins together is to have a party!” If the server crashes, it means it was a GREAT PARTY! Best of all, if you are at the party, you will get a free party hat for your penguin.

We have decided to have two party times because we have so many penguins around the world. If you live in the UK it will be from 3pm-5pm and if you live on the west coast of the US or Canada, it will be from 3pm-5pm as well. If you need help knowing what time that is for you, ask a parent or teacher.

Keep up the great work!
