Daemon typed this up in chat earlier, putting it here permanently:
[06:21] Daemon Blackflag: it really wont be much longer, just hang in there a bit longer, our fawns in-world are pretty much ready for beta right now as-is, i just need to do some double checking on the entire product, need to make sure our Redelivery Portal is working (self service redelivery of fawns / logs), and maybe do a bit more dueling/racing/NPC testing… i cant think of anything else other than some web features like the Web portion of the redelivery portal, i need to make sure that is working with the in-world portion… we’re very close, like, very close. [06:21] Daemon Blackflag: at this point if i see any minor bugs, i’ll probably give them a pass [06:21] Daemon Blackflag: so we can get into beta [06:22] Daemon Blackflag: we’ll have time to resolve those during beta
Dash and I have been working diligently on connecting the My Account Web Features to the Fawns Database. We hit a road block, so to speak, but we have finally managed to plow right through it.
For inquiring minds, one of the pages that shows every single one of your logs (once you are signed in to the website) was not working properly. It uses many coding languages mixed together to operate, making it difficult to pinpoint what was going on to cause the issue. We even tried comparing broken code to known working code, and it was turning up identical in most instances.
Long story short? We were going a tad bit crazy trying to figure out what was going on, but we did! So we’re moving right along as usual.
I know it’s already the 22nd of June, we’re definitely running on the late end of things, but please bear with us as we take the needed time to finalize the beta so that you all can get right into it. We’ve done our best to manage our time wisely, but a breedable project needs a lot of attention to ensure its success. Even the slightest issue can have an enormous effect on the community, so we’ve been extra careful. (This is not our first rodeo.)

The bottom two “Anonymous” winners are being contacted via e-mail right now. I’ll post their names as soon as they get back with me and tell me their SL Avatars.
We’ll probably have some more of these every so often, stay tuned!
Getting close to beta folks! Not quite there, but we have the fawns packs and items inside of them working – just not 100% optimized. Give us a bit more time and you’ll be in beta before you can say antidisestablishmentarianism.
Fill it out completely and you’ll be good to go! It’s all automated. So long as you see 2x “Successful” messages after pressing submit, you know it’s safely in our hands.
You can watch as Daemon tests out the latest Alpha Builds, letting you know how much closer we’re getting to Beta. We should have a new video out in the next few days showcasing where we’re truly at right this minute.
Thanks for hanging in there, we’re getting a whole lot closer to beta now.
Fawns is now on Facebook. We know a lot of people on SL create an avatar Facebook account, as well as some who use their real Facebook, etc. That being said – we made sure to get Fawns onto Facebook!
Please visit our Fawns Facebook Page and feel free to leave a like on the actual page there, and on any of the posts you find enjoyable.
Whenever we release announcements we’ll be sure to hit up not only our own news page but also places like Facebook. This ensures optimal performance of keeping everyone on “the same page”.
