Alpha version of v0.6.11 available
Posted: Wed May 16, 2012 4:17 pm
It's that time again. A new alpha of Andor's Trail is out for those interested that want to help test the new version before we release it to Google Play (Android Market).
Please note that this is an ALPHA version, which means that there may be several bugs still left in the game. It is therefore very important to SAVE YOUR GAME to some untouched slot and to BACKUP YOUR SAVEGAME before even installing this alpha version. The game might still contain bugs in the storyline or otherwise that are not reversible. Savegames produced by this version might not be readable by the release version.
That being said, there are a lot of interesting new things for you players in this version. Almost two thousand lines of new dialogue and several new major quests are some of the highlights. See below for a complete list of changes.
The alpha version can be downloaded from the project page:
http://code.google.com/p/andors-trail/downloads/list
Anyway, note that this is an alpha test, so the purpose of releasing this version is that we want input on things that work and things that does not work. For example, can your old savegames be loaded? Do you get any force-closes?
Major changes:
I want to thank the following people for their hard work in contributing content, code or ideas for v0.6.11:

Thank you!
Given the popularity of Andor's Trail, we can safely say that this game is a huge success. Currently, we are at 300k+ downloads, and with this version we will likely see a lot more new players reach this forum.
We developers will now focus on fixing the last few issues that are still present in this alpha before we release it to Android Market, and then start looking ahead on to what we can do in v0.6.12 ! We are really excited to start working on new content and additional features to further enhance the enjoyment for you players!
Thanks in advance for testing, and we in the development team hope you will enjoy the new version!
