Some of you may remember a post long long ago about a game called plain sight. It looked like a fun game where the basis was to gather points by killing enemies, but the only way to keep said points was by detonating yourself and taking other players with you.
Unfortunately, shortly after the beta opened, it closed again. Now, though, they're testing again, and only about 130 keys are left.

What?’ I hear you ask, ‘A gamma test? I’ve never heard of one of those before!’
Well, that’s almost certainly because in the gaming world they don’t exist. However, under the official game development rules (which we just made up) if your beta is secretly an alpha in disguise, you’re obliged under pain of death to release a beta disguised as a gamma.
In other words: we had a beta, found out our game was nowhere near ready, so we locked ourselves in a wooden box and got cracking on improving it. After many months, we've come back with a game we’re happy with - now we need to test it!
The way we see it, if everything works, we're in a pretty good position to finally launch. For a bunch of starving independent developers, this may mean we eventually see a pay cheque, some food, or maybe even new shoe laces!
The graphics are vastly improved, and game play has been revamped with the same concept.
