Soarin Beta 2 Update

© Disney | © Themagical.nl  (*Image above 'Beta 2' Update)

Hey Everybody!

It's been a long time since I've posted anything here.  It's been very busy weeks for me where I couldn't even get on the PC.

:: Soarin Beta 2 ::

As you can see above image we've entered the 'Beta 2' phase in our development stages.  Our beta testers got the latest update on this new simulation build.

There's been a few things updated in this version too! 

Here's a list of what's new in Beta 2:

-Help manual added

-Rating/score added

-Various statistical displays added

-New and updated sound effects

-Notification messages and sound

-Tweaked peep flow to fill up the attraction quicker when starting the sim

-Various bug fixes

Here's what left:

-Mobile UI

Doesn't seem much as for the user interface (UI for short), but overall the game performance has been tweaked just a bit.

We are hoping the testing for this new phase will keep us closer to the general public release!

Don't forget to use #SoarinSim to see the latest updates and conversations on our social feeds on Facebook and Twitter!

Until Then!

Happy Labor Day!

Hey Friends!

I hope you are enjoying your last visits to amusement parks, cook outs, special vacation spots as summer is coming to a close.

School's will be starting up soon (or already have since August 25,2014) as fall is right a round the corner.

Today September 1, 2014  the United States is celebrating a national holiday called "Labor Day". 

What is Labor Day you asked?  

1) Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.

Through the years the nation gave increasing emphasis to Labor Day. The first governmental recognition came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. From these, a movement developed to secure state legislation. The first state bill was introduced into the New York legislature, but the first to become law was passed by Oregon on February 21, 1887. During the year four more states — Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York — created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment. By the end of the decade Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit. By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.

We hope all our friends who work hard in the United States have a safe and fun Labor Day Holiday!  Thank you for all your hard work!

Until Then,
