This includes reporting bugs, and providing feedback on what you like, what you dislike, what you'd like to see more of, and what confuses you.

Beta Key Give-a-Way OpportuntiesFlight Rising will be entering closed beta in mid-December this year. If you didn't enter the Something about dragons contest but still want to participate in beta, we're going to be making keys available through our various social media groups over the coming weeks.
We recently ran a give-a-way on our facebook page, and have one that's currently going on one of our youtube videos. We'll be releasing keys to all of our Flight Rising pages, including the deviantart group, so keep your eyes peeled.
I should note that beta is a test, and not a head start. We are running a beta so that we can get early feedback, make tweaks to the economy of the game and balance of the coliseum, make changes to help make our site easy to pick up for a new user, and uncover errors and glitches in the website. For our testers, this means that there will be constant revisi

Flight Rising Kickstarter Campaign is now Live!
The time is finally here! The next stage of Flight Rising's launch plans have now begun, and our Kickstarter Campaign is off and running! The fundraising campaign will be running until April 9th, 2013 11:00PM EST, so you have plenty of time to jump in and participate (and we hope you do!)
Flight Rising's Kickstarter campaign will be helping fund an upgrade to our hosting server, as well as support the current and ongoing development of the site's content.
We have tons of special goodies lined up for those who donate, so please check 'em out! We appreciate any and all support you guys provide. Thank you!

Feature: Familiar BondingThe development team has been hard at work on creating and implementing new features, and we'd like to debut one of them today called Familiar Bonding!
This system allows you to visit your attached familiars each day to increase their familiarity (heh) with you, and earn daily rewards. We feel this system will be attractive to players who love collecting familiars, but would like a little bit more of a progression style of gameplay.
Familiars have several levels of attachment to your clan, however, we would like to keep those levels a bit of a surprise, so we won't be listing them here. Visiting a familiar each day will provide you with a small sum of treasure, and if your familiar reaches a new level, they will give you an extra special gift!
Each unique familiar type can be leveled once for your clan, and their progression will be saved (meaning, if you bonded with a Hedgehog for 30 days and leveled it up, removed it, and paired it with another dragon in your clan, its bonding

Kickstarter Update # 1 - Spirals are close!
What an amazing first day we had. Our friends, family, and supporters have lovingly pledged a total of $8,480 so far - blowing past our $3,500 goal and unlocking the first stretch goal! And now, we're creeping very close to the second: Spiral Dragons at launch! And the awesome part? We still have a whole month to make it happen!
Now is the perfect time to join in on the fundraising -- We've got tons of special Kickstarter-only goodies lined up, which will become rare and valuable after the game goes live, since they will not be available ever again!
If you cannot pledge, that is totally okay! Even sharing this link with all your interested friends and family means so much to our team. Thank you again, everyone!

Feature: Dominance SystemFlight Rising is happy to debut a feature we have been working on behind the scenes for awhile: Flight Dominance! The Flight Dominance system is a way for the various elemental flights to compete against one another for weekly rewards.
Competing is simple: exalt dragons from your lair to send them to the front lines.
Exalted dragons contribute to your flight's army, and the flight with the most exaltations each Saturday will receive a week's worth of special benefits. These benefits are:
- An extra 250 treasure per day
- A 10% discount on all Marketplace merchandise (treasure shops only)
- A +1 boost to every stat of each of your dragons
You can track your flight's ranking live from the Flight Dominance page, which updates each page refresh. The left-side ladder displays how your flight is doing in the race for next week's tally. The right side image indicates which flight is holding dominance for the current week.

Alpha Change Log - Beta is Coming!The holiday season is a busy time! The Flight Rising team has been working diligently towards beta, which will be happening before the end of December.
As we begin beta, the team is at a point where we are working on creating content so that there's a decent variety of genes, apparel, monsters, ect. These updates are not new systems + we want to keep some areas of our site a bit of a surprise for new players! As such, we will not be creating preview videos for this content. We're at a road block with video previews unless an art time-lapse every week sounds good***. We need some surprises after all!
*** Is a weekly time lapse something you'd like to see? Reply and let us know!
---------------------------------------
Throughout alpha we've been refining the site and user experience. Our alpha testers have been an amazing group. Thank you so much for the time you folks have dedicated towards the site. It's truly helping to release a better game. We cannot thank you enough! Here ar

Kickstarter Update - Stretch Goal # 2 Unlocked!
Spiral dragons are slithering out of the woodwork thanks to your support! This high agility breed will be available at launch to all our players. Thank you so much for helping us hit this milestone!
On our way to Stretch Goal # 3: SNAPPERS!

Congratulations to

If you wanted a chance to play Flight Rising and help us test the site, we're giving away three keys to our DA followers in this journal here. If you'd like a chance at it, simply "favorite" this journal entry. A week from now we'll use a random number generator and select three of the favorites to join us in beta.

Read Me!
If you're entering to win a key, you should be doing it because you want to help test the site. This includes reporting bugs, and providing feedback on what you like, what you dislike, what you'd like to see more of, and what confuses you. We prefer that you do not enter if your goal is to poke around the site pre-launch or get a head-start, though we appreciate the enthusiasm! For beta we need testers.

Beta is a test. There will be constant revisions, things breaking and being fixed and occasional downtime. You're going to be playing a game that's a work-in-progress, and should not be considered final. When we launch, all the dragons and wealth you accumulated during the beta will be wiped. We do have some beta-unique gifts line up as a thank you for helping us test, but otherwise you're on an even playing field with other players during launch.

If you want to keep things fresh and a surprise and don't want to lose your progress, we recommend waiting until official release. That being said, we do appreciate those who are willing to help us test the site. Your feedback is valuable and it will help us release a better game when we launch. The team is grateful for the interest and support we've received.

Thanks, and have a great day.

Will the Beta have a Non-disclosure agreement, or, because you're posting preview vids, can Beta testers tell their friends what the game is like? I've introduced my friends to this game, and we're all really excited for it.

*neondragon Dec 19, 2012

It's important to remember that at this point the game is a work in progress and nothing should be considered final.

There's no NDA. You may share with your friends, but we're not actively encouraging people to advertise the game. So if you want to share a few screenshots and links with your friends, great! If you want to post an in-depth review of the game publicly or advertise that people come join, we'd prefer that you wait until we're officially open.

~KittyWorks Dec 18, 2012 Hobbyist Artist

Can't wait. I love dragons and the stuff you draw and make is so pretty. Even if i don't get beta key i can live if i have to wait.

~gaurwaith89 Dec 18, 2012

as much as I hate waiting I know this will be a great game. I look forward to playing it and adding my input on the game.

~Acid-Stylus Dec 18, 2012

Cannot wait to see the site even if I don't get to beta test. This site looks beautiful and creative, great job!

*Emerald-Hearts Dec 18, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Eeeeeeee testing :3

What about the beta testers who try out the content which you need to spend real world money to get? I know the items themselves will get wiped from their accounts, but will the player get reimbursed their money at all?

*Xhaztol Dec 18, 2012

Good question! It will not even be possible to purchase our premium currency during the beta test, so no one will be out any money. In order to test essential gem-related features, we may consider giving out gems for free for this period of time.
