Outdated
Please note that this blog post was created when I had brainworms. None of these features are ‘in stone’, as I publically said in this blog.

I’d like to set in stone some future deadlines/plans for Cubytes, being the rest of the Alphas bringing more content.

Those are the planned Alphas at the moment. I’m fairly certain that Alpha 10 will be the last alpha, and Betas will start from there. Speaking of Betas, I plan to stay in Beta until April, then release the game. Hoping for a Q2 2019 launch. That means that Cubytes will be in development for around a year, which isn’t bad for a first commercial project.
But there’s one more question I wish to answer today.
When will the game stop being free?
Alpha 7 will be the last free Alpha. After that then the game will launch on Steam in Q2, and then you can buy it and experience it yourselves.
