September 3, 2013
Over a year of development and testing has gone into this release, and we are incredibly proud of where the game already is in what is a relativey short amount of time for such an ambitious game. We can't thank all of the beta testers enough for all of the help you've been since the first closed beta for Kickstarter backers.
So what happens now? Well, we just did a reset of the game (beta testers got some extra perks during the reset), and we can confirm that there will never be another reset of the game! The game is now completely open to the public, anyone can sign up and play. We are still looking for lots of feedback during this open beta stage as we continue to roll out lots of great updates, features and fixes!
We look forward to what another year will bring to CasinoRPG, and we hope to see all of you along for the ride!
