Update #6 · May 16, 2012 · 41 comments

Our beta is now up and running on Steam!

Soon I will be sending out messages to each current backer to inform them of their beta key, as well as a few other notes about the current beta.

We look forward to seeing you online, and to seeing who is the best gamer among you :)

Your beta keys will be sent out starting.....NOW!

      Are we ever gonna get any more updates? May is a long time ago, especially for non PC people who can't even look at the beta.

      Finally, I was able to make a contribution to the game. Ultimately, I have decided to purchase the game only and not anything else. In the future, I will go and purchase from your store the extra content but for the moment I have made my awesome contribution.

      A while back, I have heard of this game through nintendolife.com and at that moment, I just had to help Pwnee Studios out and spread the word about this game. So through my twitter (GameDemonKing) and Facebook (Ryan Jones) I was able to do so and I am thrilled to see the reaction by the guys replying and liking me. This along with other people I have communicated in the past really gave me the sense of satisfaction knowing that people are able to communicate well back to the fans. So I will soon enough start playing the game on beta and soon as a fully fledged game. So I will see you guys later!

      Will the beta keys be sent out using amazon or our kickstarter emails?

      How do we get the beta keys?

      I have the same question as John. Would love to play the beta

      Creator John Laschober on May 23, 2012

      Are beta keys still being set out by email? I just ordered the $30 pledge, but I'm not sure where to obtain my beta keys at.

      Hey Cameron, I'm sorry you were having troubles, but glad you got it all figured out. I sent everybody a list of prerequisites that needed to be installed beforehand to get the beta functioning. The links were in the message I sent with the beta key in it. Hopefully most everybody is able to find it, but I thank you for reposting them here. Maybe it will help others who are having the same issue :)

      Alright, I would have thought the Steam installation would have handled every prerequisite but not the case. I had to additionally install the XNA Framework from here:
      http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx…

      I already had .Net 4.0 FrameWork, but if you don't you can get it from here:
      http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx…

      Now the game is working.

      To try the Beta, I first installed Steam, recovered my account, and then finally I installed Cloudberry Kingdom by entering the Beta Key

      Steam > Games > Activate A Product on Steam...

      Once downloaded and presumably installed, when I try launching by using the "Play" button, it very briefly says Steam is launching Cloudberry Kingdom then that window goes away and nothing happens.

      This is why I don't like to play on PC and prefer all my gaming on one of the consoles.

      I'm keen for that beta key :D

      We try to get beta keys sent out keys 2-3 times a day.

      Creator Agent000 on May 19, 2012

      About how long does it take to get a beta key after backing?

    13. Missing_small

      Creator Agent000 on May 19, 2012

      I've heard some complaints about keyboard controls, but I'm sure I'll really enjoy Cloudberry on the Wii U!

    14. Icon_coveredscream.small

      Creator Pwnee Studios on May 19, 2012

      Any new backers will still continue to get beta keys, we wouldn't want anybody to miss out on the fun :-P

      As of right now, the campaign will be randomly created levels, handpicked by yours truly (to make sure it is fair for everyone). We have a current boss fight, but it's not quite epic enough right now, so we are playing with other ideas to improve upon it.

      Creator Liaf T. Robot on May 18, 2012

      Will the campaign be procedurically generated or not, and will there be a boss at the end?
      I would love it to be handmade with a boss, because I like having goals to work towards, and bosses rule.

      Creator Valerio De Camillis on May 18, 2012

      Are you going to continue sending beta keys to new backers or did i miss it by pledging too late?

      Will you be doing another round of beta keys tomorrow, I didn't get one since I ordered this afternoon, but was wondering if I could get one by tomorrow?

      Cloudberry Kingdom! does not work any more - Error :-(
      Windows 7 x64 - Any tips? The PC should be powerful enough...

      Creator Jack Harrington on May 17, 2012

      Gotten the beta, tried to launch it, won't launch because I need to set hardware acceleration to full, I go to the Troubleshooting tab, Change Settings is grayed out.

      I hate Intel. :<

    24. Weege.small

      Creator Dan George on May 17, 2012

      Please reduce the size of the crap that pops up at the bottom of the screen as it has the tendency to conceal things at the worst possible moments. Also, please add the speed slider options to every mode as the default is brutally slow.

      Other than that, fantastic work.

    25. Manicminerhires.small

      Creator Gordon Miller on May 17, 2012

      Woah, the beta is really solid. I didn't expect it to be that good. It reminded me of a RedLynx game in that I found it most fun to just go full speed and since the levels are nice and short it doesn't matter if you die cause you restart so quickly.

    26. Avatar.small

      Creator Kevin Bender on May 17, 2012

      Anyone who loves Super Meat Boy should love this game.

      By the way, do you plan on allowing users to remap their controls? Also, could you please add a screen that shows what the keyboard controls are?

      Just played it for almost an hour, it's fun and playable so long as you have an xbox controller. You should put in big letters at the top of the home page that subscribers get instant beta access too

      Hey guys! Just wanted to clarify a few things on some questions that are coming up.

      As far as things like recording, or streaming, or showing off your skills on youtube etc. All of these things are supported by us 100%! Spread the word! Show everybody you know! We are always looking for more publicity and if you guys are willing to help, then we love you for it :)

      We're even okay with writing about us on a blog, a website, an online journal, a real journal, or just talking to your friends about us!

      Creator Jamesac68 on May 16, 2012

      A little google action script to automate e-mail content based on cell data on a spreadsheet would be nice right about now! I imagine.

      Creator Trevor Carmichael on May 16, 2012

      Do you guys have any issues with recording/streaming myself playing the game?

    34. Icon_coveredscream.small

      Creator Pwnee Studios on May 16, 2012

      Getting in on the beta on Steam won't affect what version you get when the game comes out. You can still get the Wii U version, no worries.

      We're sending out keys as fast as we can click send =D

      I was just about to ask how and when the beta was going to be distributed... It's like you read my mind!

      Now then... Play the beta once I'm home from work? Or hop onto Diablo III instead? Choices, choices...
