To begin, happy new year from the Atmosphirian! We’re entering into 2010, and already some exciting news has come from the Atmosphir staff and community!
First, to the disappointment of some, the release date for Project Stratosphir has been pushed back. Dave (OkaySamurai) has said that they are hesitant to establish another date, but has said that they are aiming for February 5, 2010. His official announcement can be found here.
On that note, the migration to the new game has begun. On January 12, 2010, a deadline was drawn for level uploads and high scores. Any levels uploaded or any scores earned past this date will not be migrated into the new game. While this means that the game is essentially dead at the moment, it does show that the migration is indeed beginning.
Due to the lack of new content to review, the Editorial Staff has decided to take a break from their job for the time being. The last review to be uploaded to the news page will be on Saturday, January 16. They will resume operations one week after Project Stratosphir’s launch.
Adz has been fueling the community’s craze lately, releasing a new screenshot from Project Stratosphir roughly every day. These screenshots feature various aspects of the game, most often gameplay. The official thread for these screenshots can be found here.
Dave has also made it known that he has allowed a very exclusive and small group into Stratosphir prebeta. He has asked that this select group of individuals remain anonymous to the community. In a reassuring statement to the community, he said:
“I have asked these people to remain anonymous and keep their testing confidential, because I don't want it to become a you vs. them thing. Truth be told, I could easily name 100+ of you that could fit these roles, so please don't be offended or take things personally if you're not selected for this particular task. We just need about 10 people to help us iron out several remaining bugs before launch, and unfortunately don't have the time to set up and review a full-blown application process.” –OkaySamurai

Needless to say, 2010 is going to be the biggest year for Atmosphir yet. With the biggest update since launch just around the corner, the community is ready for the next chapter of Atmosphir’s life.
That’s all for today everyone, thanks for reading!
