Innovation 4th Edition in alpha?

[Micah Stairs]

I'm here because I'm curious as well. The Alpha is still riddled with bugs. Some of them seem fairly obvious to reproduce but the bug reports seem to be languishing. I was concluding that alpha was mainly used for playtesting and input but was abandoned once production started on the physical product...

But then I encountered another bug and saw that a related report had just been closed. I opened a new bug report and got an immediate response.

So...? It appears someone is still working on this. The art has not been updated even though the physical product is finalized. There's a meaningful number of card-level bugs but someone is monitoring and working on it. Who knows what comes next?

Hello, I am the developer. I finally had the capacity to resume work on this project over the past month (last year I started a new job and also had our third child). I'm doing my best to get Ultimate over the finish line. Still lots of work left but it's moving in the right direction. Thanks for your patience!

Also if anyone wants to be added to the alpha, send me a message instead of posting here!

I am interested in being involved in the alphatest of Innovation 4th Edition please!

It may work better if you read the post just above yours...

It's been nearly a year since this post, and about 10 months since the last update. 4th Edition has been physically released for some time now and the BGA version seems nowhere closer to coming out of Alpha.

Is it time to acknowledge that we should perhaps get another developer to take over?

If so, what's the process that has to occur for that to happen?

I've been trying for some time to get a developer to help with the project but it's a huge undertaking, and a lot to ramp up on! Send me a DM if you are interested and I can add you to our Discord channel.

I'm still committed to getting this over the finish line - it's just a busy season in my life, and this is being done as an unpaid volunteer.

Thank you for doing it. Although if we're all paying subscriptions and Asmadi is profiting from it, why are you not being paid for your work?
