== Development Update ==

Glorious Ashes Community,

I am proud to report, that the development for [[Ashes of Creation]] is on-schedule and strong. On December 15th, 2017, just 6 months from our [[Crowdfunding|crowdfunding]], we began our Friends & Family ([[Alpha-0|Alpha Zero]]) testing phases - this is the fastest that any project of this size has ever gone into public testing. Alpha Zero was primarily a test of our custom networking and back-end solutions, and we’ve made some massive improvements as a result of it. We allowed IGN access to the Alpha Zero test, so if you didn’t get an opportunity to log in, you can see their news article [http://au.ign.com/articles/2018/01/30/ashes-of-creation-hands-on-a-dynamic-world-that-allows-cities-to-rise-and-fall here].

On February 9th we did a [[2018-02-09 Livestream|live stream playthrough]] of Alpha Zero on our [https://www.twitch.tv/ashesofcreation Twitch] and uploaded to our [https://www.youtube.com/ashesofcreation YouTube channel] which you can also find below. This playthrough was not intending to show a finished product, but instead to keep the community updated with the progress we are making. Everyone at the studios, is driven by the unbelievable passion of our amazing community. You are our motivation.

As we move further into 2018, we have begun to hire more staff onto the [[Intrepid Studios|Intrepid team]], and have launched our [https://www.intrepidstudios.com/ studio website] for recruitment. We could use your help to spread the word about Ashes, and the team behind its production. We are always searching for passionate and talented developers to join our ranks, and help make MMORPGs great once more. So if you haven't already, help spread the word about [[Ashes of Creation]] and [[Intrepid Studios]] by posting on social media and telling your friends! We appreciate you and the support and dedication you have shown Ashes <3
