The option I really want is "shut up, I dont care, the developer will send around a new build when ready". Maybe if I select "show me" I can stop the reminders...

Yeah same thing for me basically. It stops my Sleep Cycle app from waking me.

I was excited to potentially beta test before I saw the new team. Now, wow!

I'd like to know how many people will be beta testing and what devices you are currently looking for.
Also (idk if this is allowed) could someone post info on the new team? Thanks.
Oh, I also wanted to ask how long it would take for a response (approximately).

At maximum 50 people will be playtesting due to limitations by the Apple Developer Program. Probably 30 active ones or so.

Device types are not all that important as there's most likely no layout stuff included in the new update. Probably iPhone 5 support but if they really need an iPhone 5, they would choose the respective applicant.

The new team is going to be the Veggienauts. That amount of public information is all we betas got, too.

We probably won't be commenting on HP of the Bramble and their thorn vines until we found the numbers to be release candidates (i.e. they're balanced).

From what I know, Alex wants to shoot the new build invitation emails out by tonight, could happen tomorrow. People will gradually be added in the meantime or probably afterwards.

Usually you won't be getting any email response for being declined.

Hey, sorry I put my iOS version number down wrong, just updated to 6.0

Just double checking: are these the things were trying to test the balance of look for bugs?
- New special units balance
- Enjoyability playing against the unit and with it
- And bugs with the new units for the team
- Balance of the new maps
- Glitches or mis-designs in the new maps

EDIT: Ok thanks

Yes.

More info on the beta forums if you're chosen.

Darn looks like I didn't get in, but congrats to those who did!

How do you know all the invites have been sent? Did OML say it somewhere? It doesn't say on their twitter or on the main site. Don't see any additional updates on the forums either. (And unfortunately, nothing in my email =P)

[purespeculation] I don't believe the beta invites have been handed out yet. Either that, or no one has responded to them thus far.

I got an email yesterday Asking me to join the Beta team. I already test for Blitwise productions on there Pocket tanks app so I was able to join through testflight quickly. I received the beta build today and I am wondering, how do I access the beta forums?
