🍏Shattered Takes Flight!🍏 | Patreon Weekly #100

Hey Patrons!

After almost two years, here we are, Weekly #100! Thanks to your support this Patreon has grown to over 100 strong, both in terms of members and posts! And what perfect timing, the iOS TestFlight beta is now boarding for all Patrons! You can sign up for it here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/MAzifXYz

I don’t want the beta to be public yet, so please do not share the invite link! If you have any friends who want to join the beta, please have them shoot me an email instead. I have put in a limit on how many times the invite link can be used, just in case, so please send me a message if the link doesn’t work for you.

As for v0.9.3, I actually made a public blog post late last week with some info on that, you can read that post Here. I’ll also be doing the Patreon Poll for this month next week, instead of this week.

The Current Plan for the iOS Beta

As always, keep in mind these plans aren’t yet final. Things may change, especially if there are issues with Apple’s approval process, or if Watabou requests any adjustments.

Firstly, here are some details about the TestFlight beta itself, versus the full release:

• Access to the beta is free, but when Shattered releases properly on the AppStore it will cost 5 dollars.
• I plan to leave the free beta up for anyone who joined it for a little while after the game goes live, as a thank you for testing.
• Progress made in the beta should transfer to the released game, though there is currently no way to move saves from other platforms.
• I don’t yet know if I will run regular betas for updates to the iOS version of the game like I do for the Android and Desktop versions.

As for who will get access to the beta and when, here’s my current timeline for that:

• April 20th: The TestFlight beta was made available to Shattered Patrons and a couple other select individuals.
• Today:The beta is made available to all Patrons!
• Mid May: Throughout May I’ll start sending out emails to anyone who directly requests access to the beta. I’ve got a list of about 20 emails at the moment.
• Late May: Toward the end of May, after giving invites to anyone who gives me an email, I’ll post a public link to the beta on the Pixel Dungeon Subreddit and Discord.
• ~June: Some time after I release v0.9.3 and am sure that all the logistical hurdles are resolved, I’ll commit to a time for fully releasing Shattered on iOS and will write a blog post with the link included.
