Screeps Arena Preorder

@artch But maybe run game in debug mode against two versions of your own bot? I assume competitor's bots code wouldn't be available locally?
-
@w4rl0ck Room visuals are of course supported.
-
@gravencrown There will be no "local" execution of arena code at all. It doesn't make much sense to bother with it in the arena setting. You will be able to run matches that last a few minutes (or even seconds) and have all debug info you need.
-
@artch Will we be able to customize the "test matches" to create specific conditions / environments that we are testing for? Would be cool if you could then save them to use as a sort of unit test.
-
@tehfiend No, I don't think so. We would like to have real gaming experience instead of test-driven development and hardcoding against specific conditions and opponents. You will be able to repeat the previous game, but only once.
-
Hmm.. I thought you would be able to do non-rating games against opponents you choose .. for example by challenging people directly?
-
@w4rl0ck You can do non-rating games, but you cannot choose opponents unless it's your friend that accepts an invitation.
-
I think that‘s fine .. btw do you have a rough eta for the alpha?
-
@w4rl0ck No ETA yet. We are doing our best!

Hello, I'm a fan of the game and I'm looking forward to the release of closed alpha testing, unfortunately the first quarter of 2021 is coming to an end, and there was no news. Please do not wait until the last day and tell us about the development progress.
-
As much as that saddens me, I must admit we have failed our timeframe Q1 2021 for alpha. Sorry folks. But we are working really hard on this. We have been doing good progress on every aspect of the development: UI/UX design, frontend, backend, and game engine. We are doing our best to show you the first playable prototype as soon as it's ready.
Here is just a video of a real battle on a very simple arena 13 vs 13 creeps. The blue player wins in 467 ticks. This game has been processed in 13.2 seconds, it gives us 35 ticks per second here.
-
We're almost done with the playable alpha of Screeps Arena. More news soon!
