I've been hiding the answer to this in plain sight for a while now

Once I've gotten through alpha, I think what I'm going to do is just go straight into open beta. Release it to the the forums and let people give feedback, report bugs or make suggestions as they wish. Then I'll just add content or features based on feedback until I feel comfortable saying the program is done, and then release the finished build.
As a shell it's pretty well-rounded already, the main issue for me is mainly what features I want it to have and how much content I want it to have available when open beta starts. Creating content is the most time-consuming thing, dealing with the bugs I inevitably create when adding features is a distant albeit prominent second. But I want it to be a full experience right out of the gate that people can add to and shape, not just a program that does all these awesome things only once people take up writing scripts.
In your text, where it says "... all men will shape me..." "... The only things I can't do for you..."
there are some odd symbols. I now believe that those read as: 51515
So, my guess is that the planned release date is: May 15, 2015
This is my first time using the "spoiler" feature, and I hope I did it correctly. (I also hope that it was ok to tell everyone on this thread my guess.)

I'm swamped with r/l and my own projects, so... I may not have the availability your looking for from a testing standpoint.
But, I would be happy to help if I can.
I can test over a variety of Windows OS -- XP/7/8.1/10.
I have experience with a few programming languages.
I also have experience with TCP/IP; if you have any intentions of having network support.
I know 1885 and the testers must be busy with the testing. But it would be great if you guys could post some updates. Possibly share a few spoilers? Sorry, it is just that I am super excited about this program and the wait is killing me
Also, I have a question. Can female subs use this program as well? Just curious

I'll be making a series of posts soon detailing certain features and giving a general scripting overview. Right now I'm just staying very busy implementing features based on feedback.

I'm not personally writing a personality for female subs, but I am leaving the option open for others to do so, as well as including options and genre types geared towards female subs.

Makes sense, releasing it with content would be a lot better for us average non-script writers.
Sounds pretty awesome anyhow, looking forward to testing the beta
Looking forward to this becoming available now that I have found it. And also looking forward to putting my coding hat back on and messing around with some modules.

It's still the 14th for me, I wouldn't expect release for another 24 hours or so. I'm still very much in crunch mode to get last-minute bugs fixed, features fine-tuned and content added.
