currently beta 1 is closed to new testers, but beta 2 will be open to all existing testers and people that have subsequently pre-ordered.

once beta 2 rolls out, you'll be able to download it via Impulse (it's a lot like Steam, if you want something to compare it to) once StarDock emails you the key.

i expect beta 2 will be before the month is out, so don't fret about not being able to play. just feel free to read through the forums so you know what to expect.

cheers.

Ah Great, just preordered Demigod after seeing the interview on g4tv. Was sortof wondering how to get into beta meself. cant wait

Once you are able to download Demigod with Impulse, you can follow this guide to play:

Hamachi Guide

You'll want to look around in the Demigod chatroom in Impulse to find a network that isn't full, but otherwise that guide should work.

I think that's the idea, isn't it?

Which deserves a giant WOOT.

any idea when beta 2 is coming out

I purchased the preorder today, downloaded Impulse, and tried to register Demigod with my Order Number (It didn't work). Do I need to wait for a different number to come in the mail to register my product? and then will it automatically allow me to download the Beta client once my product is registered?

Ah, thank you. Sorry about my ignorance here- it's late and I read, but somehow didn't process, that the next beta isn't out yet! >< I eagerly await its release....
