Graduating game to Gold/Normal release

[agrypelago]

Hi all!
What are the steps to take the game off of BETA and into GOLD?
Is it just a matter of setting the 'is_beta' => 0 in the gameinfos.inc.php or does it have to be done by BGA Studio admin?
I can't seem to find any information related to this.

I sent several email to BGA but have not heard back. I appreciate any help with this.
Thanks

It's not your decision, it's up to BGA (in consultation with the game's publisher, I believe).

BGA will likely be in touch with you when they plan to promote the game to full release and announce it to the community - but I've heard stories of sometimes when they don't actually inform the developer. Regardless, any game that reaches Beta that isn't riddled with unfixed bugs is basically certain to get a full release before too long.

You may just have to be patient with the email response.

In my email, I cc'd the game designer. BGA will want to know that everyone agrees to the full release.

In this case I'm both the dev and the designer so it should be easy.
Thanks for the reply

I kinda figured that but wasn't sure if I missed something in the documentation. Yeah, they told me that I could do a silent release - no announcement if I wanted to have the ability to play in the arena and do tournaments. Thanks for the reply.
