Age of Booty Release Date

Some more news/confirmations on Age of Booty:

- The game will be $10 for PC, that seems to be final. Of course, that's probably $10 US which means at the time of this article it is $12. However depending on distributor (more on that below) they may give us "special" increased Australian prices.

- No further details on who is distributing yet, although apparently they're going for a large number of them.

- It appears that so far the game is going to be download only (bummer) but I guess that's why they can offer such a cheap price (I'm oldskool though and like actually holding something tangible to indicate I own the game :)).

- A closed beta is about to occur and an open beta will follow shortly after. Depending on the progress of the betas, this will determine when the game is released.

- My personal opinion is that this game will probably be released sometime in November - that gives two months to beta test a game that shouldn't be too complex (at least not as complex as an RPG for example where you have thousands of dialog trees to test).

EDIT:

I've received a very prompt reply to this post from D.A.R.Y.L. over at Capcom. It seems the beta may be over much sooner than I thought and the price of the game will universally be $10. Check out D.A.R.Y.L.'s blog post.
