Troyen already replied about testing, so about your question: Forsaken sent me already the yuri routes scripted. However it's missing the end scenes, and some "flashback scenes" (I won't go in more details because... spoilers!). So she still needs to write them, and she is busy doing other stuff so probably can get them done around March. Also we're thinking if to ask artist to add another extra CG for each romance routeDarkWolf wrote:Seeing as game is progressing so well and that it is at finishing stage it is hard to believe that we would need to wait half a year till summer for a beta release. So could you just confirm this?
However - in March I plan also to release PSCD on Steam/mobile. Then, in the meanwhile C14 Dating will be out too. Releasing games and doing the beta takes time/concentration (you can't upload a broken version online... well, at least not many times lol) so that will take away time as well. And while usually I know more or less how long something takes, in computer programming you never know what is going to happen.
For example yesterday somehow I had broken QoT buffs, and took me 2h to figure out what I messed up
In short, I *think* beta could even start around June, but it's enough one thing to fail (artist delaying the new CG or writer taking more time than usual or a new Ren'Py update breaks some stuff so I have to tell coder to fix it) to have delays. That's why I said a more generic "Summer". Unfortunately that's how it works
Hey that's not ALWAYS trueTroyen wrote: Also, if you haven't betaed a WW game before, be ready for at least two versions that break all your save games and force you to start over.
For the RPGs... yes probably. But in most cases the break was because every time I tried a beta, a new version of Ren'Py was out with better features 
(everything is optional of course, there are also covered versions)
