The official release is targeted for December. We don't have a fixed date for the Beta, but it will be some time before the official release. Only after it looks like there are no major issues being reported from the Beta will we do the official release.

Also... if anyone upgraded their FG Classic license to Ultimate just to get the FGU Ultimate license, they can contact us ([email protected]) for a refund of that so they can back at the new tier level. The difference is that they will remain on the FGC Standard license until FGU releases.

Thank you for the quick response. I think the adversity in the maps (various weather effects, etc.) and line of site are game changers. Looks superb. Will definitely be using this online as well as in our face to face games. And props to you for adding in the latest kickstarter 'tier' to allow for the upgrade directly from standard to unity ultimate.

Easy, now. Don't heap too much praise - Doug might release another dancing video if you do :)

No more dancing. At my age, I'm likely to injure myself.

Not only is FG awesome software, the SW team is second to none when it comes to community involvement and customer service.

Here is a stretch goal that won’t threaten release: have extension updates automatically download like rulesets and modules!

Have you considered a backer bundle tier of both FGC and FGU either Standard/Ultimate? Eg $45-50 for FGC&FGU Standard or $170-175 for FGC&FGU Ultimate? I understand the focus of the Kickstarter is Unity, but something like this might attract newcomers as it's a bit cheaper than buying FGC on their own then backing the Kickstarter.

I like this one too. I know their are numerous concerns, not the least of which is security, but I also know those issues are solvable.

I know such a system was spec'd at one point by a community dev, and I think Doug mentioned implementing this or something in FGU, but not sure when. But then again, my memory is not as good as Trenloe's :)
