The beta 4 series will be the last set of betas prior to release. Users who want to pre-order and beta test the stand-alone game (as opposed to Drengin.net) will only be able to do so for a short amount of time. After we go into release candidates you will have to wait until the game ships to get it. Stardock is about to sign a publishing deal with a major retail publisher which will affect the release date. We expect to go gold near the end of this month but general availability ... [read more]

We're still tweaking the algorithms for The Political Machine and for what it's worth, we have put together our first official model prediction of this November's election based on our current variables (which are obviously subject to change). Bush loses to Kerry by between 20 to 40 electoral votes. There are a few reasons we're predicting this. First of all, there really aren't that many toss-up states. The media has states like Michigan and Wisconsin and Washington State and Oregon a... [read more]

Blog Navigator is a fully featured Internet article reader that reads in RSS feeds (most major sites have RSS feeds these days) and displays them in a clean interface to make it very easy and fast to read through tons of news. There are other RSS readers out there already, but Blog Navigator has a few features that, when combined, make it really stand out: 1) It automatically pre-fetches articles. That is, it caches articles you haven't read yet so that when you get to them, it's already t... [read more]

We are really looking for more feedback on the beta. We know hundreds of you have the beta, but we're not getting a lot of feedback. Especially in specifics. We will be letting those who pre-ordered the game on its own (as opposed to getting Drengin) start getting it next week. But in the meantime, we really need your help in this. The game is going gold and we're in crunch time now (the amount we can do in 4 weeks you'll be amazed by). What things would you like to see that can be ... [read more]

If you have a subscription to Drengin.net, you can now download the first public beta of Stardock''s new strategy game, The Political Machine. This beta is just that - a beta. It is not representative of what the final game will be like and has a great number of limitations. Some key notes: 1) It currently will only run on Windows XP. We expect to have that fixed next week. 2) The multiplayer is buggy (it''ll crash if either player goes on TV or uses political operatives) 3) You MUST ... [read more]

We''ve pushed the beta back one week to April 15th (tax day!). After consideration of having the beta go out right before many of us are going on Easter holiday it was decided it would be more prudent to wait until we got back. Sorry about any inconvenience. I think you''ll be pleased though with the game''s progress. [read more]
