Beta 7 Server Status

The weekend event is, officially, closed.

We’ll leave some of the servers up in case you missed it, but won’t be monitoring them quite as closely.


Beta 7 Details!

New ship ready for this weekend!

And we’re running another closed beta this weekend!  Surprise, surprise!  What we’re doing this round is ramping up players and of course testing a few more things.  We have to ready our servers for the load during the ominous open beta coming soon.  So we’re doing a promotional drive right now to attract more players into this round of beta.  You can check that out here:

Servers will be up 8/3/12 at 12pm EST to 8/5/12 11:50pm EST.  Get your play on this weekend!  Don’t forget to report bugs at http://bit.ly/MuseBugs

About Contracts

If only life was so simple...

This Editorial Feature was written by Howard Tsao, CEO and Founder of Muse Games Corp.

Recently, some friends and fellow indie devs have been asking me for help to read over a few contracts ranging from publishing, distribution, contests, to RFPs, or partnering on music or art. I’m not a lawyer, and I’m learning as I go as well, but I did accumulate some experience along the way, and learned from some pretty horrific situations, that I could at least offer some feedback on what I find, so hopefully others won’t suffer the same fate. Going over contracts is always difficult and laborious, especially with all the legal mumble jumble being so cryptic, like a code or a riddle to be deciphered. So my goal with this post is go into some examples and to not only point out some things to watch for, but also what I proposed as solutions.
