##7 End of summer, beginning of Beta2!

##0 Summer holidays are now over for the Evol Online developers. We are
##0 proud to announce the arrival of Beta2 soon, even though we
##0 unfortunately find ourselves currently behind schedule.

##0 However, a lot of efforts were made to create a lot of new content
##0 and great new tilesets which took for ever to create and fix.
##0 We are currently fixing bugs and preparing the release. Final
##0 modifications are being made to give you the best release ever made
##0 for this project.

##0 Among the new features is a Quest Window that has been added to the
##0 client. It will help you see your progress in game.

##0 When the Beta2 release will be out, we would like you to promote it
##0 by simply spreading the word around you. Players will then be aware
##0 of the news and this may help us expand our community.

##0 As you already now, new contributors are always welcome! Translators,
##0 artists and even writers are free to contact us for more information.

##9 -- Regards, Alige.

##0 Once more, a lot of work has been done, recently on the consistency
##0 and quality of the game. A lot of new graphics will be part of the
##0 next release, Beta2. Interactivity between the player and the game
##0 was our main goal the past weeks.

##0 This new dynamic and gaming experience will be revealed throughout
##0 animations full of mysteries. Treasure chests, coconuts and new NPCs
##0 have appeared on a brand new map!

##0 The work on the translations, the repositorie reorganizations and
##0 on top of all, the client, were one of our main concerns lately.
##0 The developers still need a bit of time in order to finish this
##0 release, thus we thank you for waiting.

##9 -- Regards, Alige.

##7 A contantly evolving Beta!

##0 Good news, most of the needed work for the Beta2 has been finished.
##0 However, there are still some language tasks left, and we need
##0 your help for this!

##0 The game rules were added on the Beta2, the no-law world reached to
##0 its end! You can review a copy of these rules on our site.

##0 A development pause will be made between the Beta session and the
##0 Aurora release. This break will be done in order to rethink most of
##0 our future guidelines.

##0 We will notify you of the release date in the next news. It should
##0 technically be one week before the release itself.

##9 -- Cheers, Reid.

##7 Guidelines for future releases have been established!

##0 As you may know, ##BEvol Online##b has seen multiple development
##0 stages during the past years. It is now the time to look forward and
##0 to establish the bases of our future development roadmaps.

##0 At the end of the third and last Beta release, we will switch
##0 to a new style of development. It will be formed of two types
##0 of releases.

##0 The first, called ##BAurora##b, will continue the selected story and
##0 will be the main quest line. ##BSkylandia##b will be the second type.
##0 It will be composed of some side-quests from the Aurora releases, as
##0 well as revealing some secrets of the ##BAemil##b world.

##0 A last development release has been prepared, the ##BMercurian##b
##0 one. This type is currently hidden and nothing will be spoiled as it
##0 will end the game story.
##0 So be patient!

##9 -- Cheers, Reid.

##7 Land Ahoy!

##0 Almost two months have passed since we began redesigning our
##0 content and concept base. One of the changes was made for the 
##0 mascot, the Pious, which will now be renamed to Piou.

##0 We still need few weeks before being done with the graphic part.
##0 But we started to concept the Level Design (including new quests,
##0 dialogues, maps). Most of this should be done in May, so be
##0 ready to the next episode for this month!

##0 Here are some important links, if you wish to take part in the
##0 development or if you just wish to talk with us.

##7 Evol Online Beta releases!

##0 After several months of work, the world of ##BEvol Online##b is
##0 finally opened to everyone for its first Beta release!

##0 This Beta will be the first among two other ones which will help
##0 the developers finding out the qualities and problems of the
##0 chosen gameplay.

##0 We welcome you to give us your thoughts about this, but we also
##0 hope you will have fun being part of this amazing adventure.

##0 We also need to warn you that at the end of the third release,
##0 all characters will be wiped out as we are trying to have a
##0 perfect balance for this game and start it over with it.
##0 We kindly ask you to accept this.

##9 -- Cheers, Reid.

##7 Merry Christmas!

##0 On this Christmas morning, the Evol Online team is of course here
##0 to wish you all a merry Christmas and to announce that the first
##0 Beta release of ##BEvol Online##b will soon be available!

##0 No, this is not a dream! After more than a year of work and through
##0 good and bad times, the team finally decided to release the first
##0 Beta release.

##0 Over one year has passed and we have been working on the in-game
##0 design and in a new technology for our server and client. The
##0 time has come to reveal it to the world!

##0 We, the ##BEvol Online##b developers, hope to get as many Beta
##0 testers as we can in order to get as many different views as
##0 possible.

##0 We sincerely thank you for your patience and for sharing the same
##0 dream we have in common.

##9 -- Cheers, Reid.
