Social networking is the buzz these days and we finally joined the bandwagon! We figured that creating a Facebook page can add a more personal touch as to how we handle our support, updates and releases. We’re even planning to release our beta programs on Facebook if possible–we’re still in the process of exploring its capabilities and features. Join us on Facebook and become a fan now! Tell us your unique eSoft Interactive game story!

After all the assets have been integrated and a final build is ready, a copy is forwarded to the eSoft Interactive BETA team for quality assurance and compatibility testing. In this stage, the team thoroughly tests the game for bugs, errors, gameplay issues and loopholes and lasts for at least two weeks. In most cases, the BETA team’s feedback also include suggestions that would further enhance the game. Each point is carefully noted and assessed by the development team and then integrated if they feel the need to do so. On some occassions, new ideas are even voted by the BETA team before it gets on the final version. Once all the bugs have been ironed out and the team feels that the game is almost ready, it is passed on to the web/marketing team for release!

Speaking of the eSoft Interactive BETA team, let me take this chance to thank the guys: pointoflight, blazingwolf, tjasko, fraggler, jledesma, cheryl, spmwinkel, mbaker5408, bacchus_3, ndench, phoebs, reubkov and saldatore. These guys have been with us through thick and thin! If you would like to join our internal BETA team, please feel free to email us at beta(at)esoftinteractive(dot)com.

You’re probably wondering why we don’t have any new mobile games yet? Most of our efforts over the past six months were spent on backend stuff like migrating to a new webhost, establishing better customer support procedures and policies, transferring to a new partner and lots more. We’ve done this to prepare the company for our future plans: to ensure quality in all our future software titles and to create better online customer interaction. Now for the good news: The next half of the year will be spent on new titles and ports, yay! We are currently brainstorming on new game ideas (which we don’t have dates yet and hopefully gets released as scheduled), working on several game ports and preparing for new platforms to release on! Be sure to join our mailing list so we can keep you posted. Fun times ahead! :)

If you have something to share or have a great game idea in mind, please feel free to post here or drop us an email!
