I'm incredibly excited to let you know that people who support the project can now play the latest pre-alpha build of the game!

There's a lot of activity and I've managed to keep up with weekly updates for the supporters. Showing gameplay, new graphics, technical behind-the-scenes and more. This is a self-funded project and that comes with a lot of challenges in keeping the pace up. However, I am committed and believe this is a special project. For those who support the project, I want to find ways to give back as much as possible.

Supporting members will not only get access to the first playable build, but also all pre-alpha builds coming in the future. So not only will you be able to see the game come alive, you will have it in your hands to play all the way through development.

• Have fun climbing the leaderboards on each build.
• Get involved with feedback.
• See all the behind-the-scenes material released every week (this might fluctuate depending on support and life situation)

If you aren't ready to support the project yet, don't forget to sign up for the newsletter (on the Games page) to follow the news. I'm preparing for a public demo (time-restricted) soon. 

Mike, is embarking on an exciting venture with Conquer, a new multiplayer mini-game built exclusively on and for The Mirror, a platform known for its integration with the Godot engine. Conquer aims to offer a unique gaming experience where strategy and teamwork are key to victory. The game pits two teams of four against each other, with the goal of reaching the opponent's base to score points. The narrow battlefield ensures encounters are inevitable, making every move a crucial part of the team's strategy.

In a pioneering move, Mike has made the development process of Conquer publicly accessible. This transparency allows the community to observe the game's creation in real-time, fostering a sense of involvement and collaboration.

Further enhancing community engagement, Mike plans to release the game's assets to The Mirror's asset library, allowing other developers to use them in their own projects. Additionally, an alpha version of Conquer will be made available for play, providing an opportunity for feedback and improvements.

We're thrilled to share the news of a groundbreaking new partnership that promises to enhance our forum's capabilities and offerings. Our community is now aligned with The Mirror, an innovative all-in-one game development platform and sandbox that facilitates real-time collaboration, built on the very foundation of our passion: the Godot engine.

The Mirror isn't just another tool; it's a vision shared with our community. They are as enthusiastic as we are about the success and potential of Godot, aiming to bring unmatched value and innovation to our collective endeavors. Their ambitious goal is to establish The Mirror as the go-to, bidirectional platform for Godot developers, ensuring that while you enjoy the full spectrum of platform benefits, your data remains unequivocally yours.

We warmly invite you to welcome The Mirror into our fold. We encourage you to delve into their introductory post and explore their platform. By downloading and engaging with The Mirror, you'll witness firsthand the incredible advancements they're bringing to Godot.

This partnership signifies a monumental leap forward for our forum. It enables us to channel more resources into enhancing and enlarging our platform. You can look forward to new features, improved performance, and more robust moderation in the near future. Furthermore, in a commitment to supporting the ecosystem that brings us together, we are proud to announce our pledge to donate 5% of the forum's revenue to the Godot Foundation, aiding in the continued development of the Godot engine.

Your ongoing support and active participation have been instrumental in reaching this pivotal moment. We are eager to embark on this journey with The Mirror and see the boundless possibilities our partnership will unlock for our community.
