Partners and Tests Date

Hello Patrons!
Firstly, I would like to thank you all for supporting Apogea.
Your help has been crucial to us and has allowed us to take really important steps into making Apogea a better game.

Now, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you: we’re launching a new partnership program with content creators!

What does this mean for you?

• Exclusive Previews:

Our new Apogea Partners will ensure that all of the game’s planned features and content are presented to you first. This means that you’ll get to see mechanics and new content early, even before proper tests (don’t worry, those will still happen too).

• Direct Communication:

By working closely with these partners, we’ll establish a clearer and more consistent line of communication between the development team and the community. This will allow us to address feedback, answer questions, and share updates more effectively.

• Community Growth:

This initiative is also about expanding our community. By collaborating with creators, we hope to generate more buzz around Apogea and bring in new players, ensuring a thriving game that lasts for years to come.

Meet our Apogea Partners:

 Cateroide:
A name that needs no introduction! Cateroide has been supporting and promoting Apogea since day one. Now, he'll be working closely with us to help create the best game possible.
The Ayce Team:
This group has shown incredible interest in creating content for Apogea, even as they’re just beginning their journey with the game. We’re excited to see them grow and provide informative content for our community.
Mundo Apogea:
Nick has dedicated an entire channel to Apogea and has gone above and beyond to explain its mechanics to the Brazilian community. Now, he’ll be working even closer with us to bring more valuable content to players.
Yungyro:
A special shoutout to my family! Yungyro has been helping promote Apogea since before anyone even knew it existed. I’ll be collaborating directly with her to produce content that reaches a broader audience outside of the current target demographic. I believe this partnership is a significant step forward for Apogea. Together with our content creators, we aim to make the game better, more engaging, and accessible to a wider audience.

Also if you are interested in working closer to us, please, let us know so we can have a chat!

About the Next Round of Tests

So, with the introduction of our new Apogea Partners, I’d like to propose a new approach to how we handle testing phases moving forward.

Proposed Testing Schedule

• Open Tests:

Open to everyone, these tests will happen every two months, allowing the entire community to try out the game and provide feedback.

• Closed Tests:

Exclusive to Patrons, these tests will occur monthly, giving early access to new features and updates.

Why This Change? 
This new structure will help us:

• Support Development: The monthly closed tests will allow us to allocate resources more efficiently toward marketing and development.

• Keep Promises: By balancing open and closed tests, we can continue providing access to the game without overstretching our team.

What’s Next? 
The proposed schedule will be as follows:

• Next Closed Test: 14 February 2025

• Next Open Test: 14 March 2025

There is a discussion thread for everyone to share their thoughts on this new approach down on the Discord. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, so let me know if you think this is a good idea!

And, as always, thank you all for your continued support. I truly appreciate each and every one of you for helping make Apogea a reality.
