Snowcrash has today posted the 5th Community Bulletin and it has quite a lot to say.

Firstly, there are talks at length about the plans for beta testing, reiterating that any beta test is dependent on the wishes of a publisher - however apparently cirumstances are such that a publishing deal could be signed within the "next few days" with beta testing to begin immediatley. Of course, it could also be that negotiations will continue to take longer or that the publisher would desire a different program for beta testing.

The community Q&A is also discussed - the gist seeming to be that if issues are discussed on the forums by players then they may get related questions asked in the relevant Q&As.

The forum thread roundup this time stays away from any game issues, focussing instead on community chat and integration.

For the future, we get the first mention in a while about the developer diaries - the Technical Director talking about Black Prophecy Physics. The next Q&A is mentioned again, focussing on the design side of the game. Most interestingly perhaps however is the news that elements of the story are going to begin to be released on a specially created website.
