I am so excited to finally announce this date:
The Funfair Tycoon CLOSED BETA will officially launch on the 6th of March 2020!
(Pre-) Registration
The game remains in a closed test phase, which means you are required to have a registration key to take part. You can pre-register here:
https://www.funfairtycoon.com/en/release.php#becomeTester
Pre-registering does not mean you will automatically be chosen as a tester. Most of our testers are picked randomly from the pool of pre-registrations.
Important: We will not send all invitations on the 6th of march! Further invites will be sent in the days and weeks after the official launch.
Players from the Alpha will not need to register new.
Players who got an Alpha key but haven't used it yet, need to register before the start of the Closed Beta. Any unused Alpha keys expire after that.
Scope of the testing period
Funfair Tycoon has grown tremendously over the past months. But now it's time to have more players test the game! We will challenge our system by scaling up.
There are over 1000+ pre-registrations at this point and we want to invite several hundred testers to the game round.
Besides performance checks we will continue to develop the game further, fix bugs and add features over time.
In the Closed Beta you will be able to purchase a virtual currency, the Credits.
You can use this opportunity to support our team.
Please be aware that all ingame items purchased via Credits will be removed once the accounts are reset at the end of the testing round. If you don't agree to this, don't buy anything in the game. As a special thank you to early supporters, we will gift you at the start of the Open Beta (when everyone can play) 25% of the credits from previous purchases.
Duration of the Closed Beta
There is no fixed duration. It all depends how well the version runs, what the feedback will be and how fast we can develop all missing features that are required for the Open Beta.
Feature "Moving Up System" not included yet
If you get ingame a negative response to one of your applications, you will be notified about the moving up system. This feature is not yet available and will be developed during the Closed Beta.
Should I take part?
Funfair Tycoon has come a long way to where it is now. We absolutely believe in the joy and fun of playing our game! However, it is still a test phase and you should keep that in mind. We are not feature complete and not bug free. Once the Open Beta starts, Funfair Tycoon will be available to all. To make fair starting conditions for everybody, we will reset your save game by the end of the Closed Beta.
If you don't agree to this, you should wait until the Open Beta starts.
There is no release date for the Open Beta.
Information for Alpha testers
Your accounts will persist in the Closed Beta, you can continue playing like you used to! We are looking forward to hearing your feedback about the midgame.
