Progress Backlog - March 31 (Still Truckin')

[The following post is a backlog of progress which occurred from March 26 through March 31.]

Not much to report on this week. With the exception of a few bug fixes and tweaks, Bit Battles is all but done. I'm currently focusing on all of the other things (website, manual, etc. etc.) that need to be completed before the game is released.

I'm also still dealing with the issue of all of my beta testers mysteriously disappearing. It's really a troubling situation, especially so close to the contest deadline. What's worse, not many even offered feedback on the game before going MIA. Why take the time to sign up to test a game if you're not, you know, actually going to test it? Ultimately I believe I'll be wiping the slate clean and getting a whole new round of testers. Disappointed? Absolutely but I can't afford to wait for the current batch of folks to get it together.

Looking ahead, I need to step up the advertising effort again and soon. This month was by far the best for the Fanatical Games website with more unique hits than any previous month. It's a good sign, I suppose, and couldn't come at a better time but more exposure is needed. I have some ideas in mind but for now my focus has to remain on finishing the MyDreamRPG contest first.
