New "Push-to-Alpha/Beta" procedure and little known games
Posted: 08 October 2022, 19:15
I have a game — Konane — currently in Alpha since a rather long time.
Being an abstract game, and a not particularly famous one, collecting approvals is rather slow and in about 3 months we got only 6. OTOH, since at least 2 months, all bugs have been fixed, all suggestions processed (i,e, either implemented or rejected). In practice, the implementation reached a stable point, as far as the interested testers can tell. For many of them the game is ready to go Beta and it looks more and more unlikely that the game will receive any more significant testing.
BUT, in the dialogue box asking "Have you received at least 10 approvals from BGA reviewers, fixed all major bugs, and made sure your game is playable on mobile?", I cannot honestly press [Ok] as, no, I only collected 6 approvals.
So, my question is:
Is there some flexibility in the conditions and, if I press [Ok], maybe a 'real person' may evaluate the situation giving a green light, or the process will be automatically blocked until I get the canonical 10 approvals?
