Nick Thomadis Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 It has been a while since our last news. There has been a slight delay with our release schedule but we still work hard on the game and we are almost ready to start sharing beta keys for our limited Steam version and of course to deliver the Early Access edition. Please read below our official statement about current status. Thanks again for your support. A new blog post will follow with video and images explanations. Stay alert! Hello everyone - thanks for your patience and support.We really appreciate it and are extremely honored to be making this game for you.Here is an update on what's going on. We are fixing some AI and gameplay bugs for the final build that will be submitted for Steam approval within next week or two. It is an Early Access edition - meaning there will be some things that don't yet work as intended. The goal for this edition is to gather your feedback on the gameplay, balance and AI, + find bugs that we could not find ourselves. While we are getting the Valve approval we will invite up to 30-50 volunteer testers on our forums to try the limited version of the game in order to quickly check for the obvious flaws. 2 scenarios will be given out to players - first engagement of the Gettysburg battle and the battle for Devils Den. Once Steam grants the approval, we will finalize the store page and open up Early Access sales. We cannot yet say exactly when it will happen as we dont know how long the approval will take. Over the course of the early access (30-40 days) we will work with you on getting the game tuned and improved and start adding the multiplayer component. In the next 4-5 days we will start posting regularly on the final product vision: tactics, ai, control and other gameplay elements. Price for the Early access edition will be 10 US Dollars. Price might go higher for the release version.After majority of feedback and multiplayer gets into the game the release version will come out. 19/2/2014 "We got the greenlight" Ultimate General: Gettysburg has been greenlit!

Crowgasm Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Voted for it in Steam GL. Looking very good indeed. Nice job on the 'trailer'.
OzWally Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Yep Voted came accross this morning in Oz. Have been following this for a long while.
Crowgasm Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Nick, any sense of time frame for the Greenlight process? Does it just need to obtain enough positive votes?
KERA_AK Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Hi all i VOTE YES as well saw it today, looking really great good luck crossing fingers BR AN.
The Great Dane II Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Good question Crowgasm- I also wondered: What are we up against as regards to reaching the greenlight?'Only' the number of votes (and how many) or anything else, we could help out doing in order to up the chances?
Giver of Will Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 voted for , Favorited, followed, lol also what will the price be if it goes through ?
Beserko Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Had some trouble linking to the greenlight (it wouldn't take my log in?)but I found it when I went into steam itself. Add one more yes to the avalanche!
Red Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Upvoted so hard! Looks epic. I can't wait to try it!
Crowgasm Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Just got my 4 kids, all of whom have separate Steam accounts, to vote for this. Somewhat Nixonian in feel since none of them are interested but that's their loss, and they're not grounded now.
admin Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Just got my 4 kids, all of whom have separate Steam accounts, to vote for this. Somewhat Nixonian in feel since none of them are interested but that's their loss, and they're not grounded now. Thank you mate!!! we are in top20 today! chances are better and better.
The Great Dane II Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 Congrats to you oh mighty Darth and Co!That sure was fast - now let's get cracking at this game!!!
Crowgasm Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 If it's formally greenlit, as it were, what's the next step? My wallet is positively throbbing, and not because of my wife. 1
Crowgasm Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 I noticed in the blurb, as I re-read, that this will also be available for tablets. Hoping the PC version will be different, given the limitations of tablets. Any more detail on that?
Nick Thomadis Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Ultimate General: Gettysburg has been greenlit! Read the news!

Crowgasm Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Curious if there's any update on Greenlight status, i.e. when Greenlit becomes an actual release?
Nick Thomadis Posted March 11, 2014 Author Posted March 11, 2014 Update will come as soon as possible. We want to be sure of the release date we will promise + prices etc. Thank you all for the continuous interest! 1
