Aperture Tag: The Paint Gun Testing Initiative News

Hello Test Subjects!

Many people have beein wondering when the game will come out. These past few months we've been working full time to have the game ready as soon as possible. The game will be released in July, but we don't have a fixed date yet, so it could be available at any time in the coming weeks. There is still quite a bit of work to be done, so we cannot accurately predict exactly how long it will take.

If you read carefully, then you might have already noticed the word 'purchase' on the Store Page. Aperture Tag will be available for $6.99 (or your regional equivalent) and it will have a release discount for a week of 30%. We have been in direct contact with Valve, and they are allowing us to sell the mod with the Portal license.

If you are a member of the press and would like to write a review of the game, then I urge you to contact me at '[email protected]'. To confirm you are of the press, I will need you to send an email from the address for which you work and provide an article / video to a review you have done. For example, if you work at Kotaku, then I'd expect to get an email from '[email protected]' and also get a link to a game review where it says for example 'Dota 2 Review by Example'. I am new at releasing a game, and I don't know how many replies I will obtain but I will do my best to reply to as many as I can over this following week. You will not obtain a key immediately, instead I will add your details to a personal list I have and send emails with further info (and beta keys) when the game is ready for review.

There is now an official Twitter account for Aperture Tag. You may find it at (https://twitter.com/aperturetag). Be sure to follow us there to keep up to date!

Thank you for the support!

Hello Test Subjects!

Thank you for your interest in participating in Aperture Tag. It is in the team's interest to reach as big of an audience as we can, which is why we do plan on providing translations for the menus and the subtitles in game. Audio won't be translated, as it would mean over 10 times new lines, a whole lot of testing and time.

We still have strings being added in (Developer commentary) and need to tackle some strings that aren't being translated (In game hints). Because I speak spanish as a native language, it was handy for me to translate the game to spanish and test the translations and learn what to expect.

The reason why the only languages listed on the store are English and Spanish, is because I only select the features that I know for sure will be available. As I recieve later on more transaltions, I will be adding in those languages to the store for you to see. This is the same with release date, price if applicable, etc. When I know for sure, I will update the store page to reflect that information.

In the mean time, thanks for your interest to those who send me an email offering themselves as translators. If I require help with translations, I will be making an anouncement.

Thanks!
