You were many applying for which we are very grateful, it's awesome to see so many people interested in the game. For now we only wanted a few people testing a wide array of technical aspects however, so sadly a lot of you had to be declined.

I Hope you will all be digging tunnels and taking care of your bearded minions soon enough though! :)
 
pretty sure it was a first come first serve policy...

No it wasn't

And given that Paradox said people were chosen based on their technical aspects, aka computer setups, I don't really understand the discussion. It's a hardware test, to see what works and doesn't.

This. I'm sorry you all can't get to experience the loveliness that is A Game of Dwarves just yet, but soon you all will be given the oportunity :) Fact is that we only let in 3-4% of all applicants at this stage so don't feel singled out if you didn't get in already.

Best Regards
 
Wow! That implies there is only a hand full of testers this first round (as in maybe a dozen) or there were a ton that applied for the position. . . . (But more testers will be added later.)

Either way – I like the way this is shaping up. It should mean a very good Beta phase and in the end will mean a much better game.

It was actually a quite large amount of applicants, the beta is small however. Larger than a dozen, but small :)
