There are other things to be done outside of game development (such as advertising and promotional content) that won't be discussed in this post, which will further occupy us. We hope to have all of this content in before March, leaving us a solid month of focused testing before we reassess and determine where we are on a final release date. I'm positive there are more, but these are the big ones.

* Make The Playground (aka Interactive Mode) playable * Arena Hireling personalities and base interactions * Short, playable cutscenes between Story Campaign sectors that explore the history of Project Nexus. * A tutorial stage that teaches basic to advance combat moves. In addition to cleaning up endless bugs, tightening up CPU/GPU performance, and balancing gameplay, the final cleanup portion of development is also going to include a number of features we've put off until the very end: After that, we move onto final cleanup before releasing the game to the public. Barring setbacks, expect that update to reach closed beta in two weeks. The Nexus Core does.-The first round of character Origins are now active-Madarang particle was screwed up, and was sharing an effect with the Molotov.

and Alpha 1.7 is the last major update before that happens-Arena Mode has a tutorial-Murder Room 5 is in. Arena was completely gutted and rebuilt from the ground up, and as it stands is mostly complete and only lacks the inclusion of four more stages, which are already nearly done. Madness: Project Nexus 2 alpha 1.07 is now live. The new update includes a ton of balancing fixes and cleanup for Story Campaign, but primarily focuses on the new Arena Combat game mode. Our testers have just been given access to the latest version of the Madness: Project Nexus Closed Beta (v1.13.a), which means we're now counting down toward only a couple of checkpoints before full release of the game!
