Hello, everyone!

I just wanted to remind you that everyone who already signed up for the Dino Horde Beta (or signs up at http://dinohorde.com/ soon) will sooner or later be able to play the beta. The first wave has already been notified and will begin testing tomorrow. And every tester will receive a free "Beta Tester Hat" from the Spiral Store. If you are into hats, grab the last chance to sign up!

The Purple Reign, home of the greatest supporters Dino Beatdown has, will of course continue its legacy in ORION: Dino Horde.

Cheers,
raupi

Along with the rebranding of what we once called "Title Update 002" (and some further updates), Spiral Games Studios opened up more slots for the Beta to the fresly renamed "ORION: Dino Horde". I believe a lot of you have already been picked as testers for that future beta. If you had bad luck the last time, your new chance just opened up:

from Spirals website[spiralgamestudios.com]

MULTIPLAYER BETA REGISTRATION - NOW OPEN

We are getting closer and closer. We are now allowing another opportunity for folks wanting to get in on this new game early. No release date for the Beta has been released just yet but make sure to get your spot. You need to own ‘ORION: Dino Beatdown’ to participate.

Good luck to all of you and hope to see you soon in the beta,

Simply follow the steps and hopefully see you on the dino-stompin' grounds!

The Dino Beatdown group is hosting a round of Dino Beatdown this Sunday. Everyone is invited to join.

More on that matter when things are sorted out.

See you around,
raupi

I'm happy to see that we are now a group of 50 people. Welcome, everyone!

Recently the server list shows very few or no results. This is a problem on Spirals side, but there is a way to work around it: Host a game on your own, they seem to display correctly. The key is to forward ports 7777-7779 and 27015 in your router with an exception rule. UPnP does not seem to work.

If you never get any result on the list, have a look at this fix:

When i get the chance, my machine runs dedicated servers for your convenience, but as always time zones may not be in your favor.
