Hi Friends,
We are happy to announce that we have finally made it to the public Beta, Yay!
After lots of long days and sleepless nights we managed to keep the hordes of marauding Orks from our development camp so we could cap the private beta and prepare for the release of the shiny new Public Beta Version 0.9.0.
Change Log: http://www.home.aurasoft-skyline.co.uk/?page_id=2530
With this we are closing the private testing and would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has tested Skyline, we could not have come this far without your help The beta testing will continue as we move towards the first Version 1.0.0 release so please keep reporting any issues and requests.
The current release has a couple of features that slipped through the net but these will be caught and fixed in the next release, just wanted to get it out to you guys.
Free and Retail versions
Along with the new release we are releasing a free version so anyone can join the Skyline journey so spread the word! Also the price of £80 is being put on the commercial indie version to help support our development costs. ( not applicable to current license holders )
Website upgrades
We have been busy developing a new Skyline website and set up a new asset store which has the vendor feature where anyone can become a seller and earn some money or give away free. Still much work to be done on the sites but we are aiming for this time 2015 for the full release so there is a little time to get everything ship shape. We are also setting the forums to public so we can encourage the free version community as they will only get tech support via the forums unlike you guys who have full licences and can contact the developers at any time.

Important Special Note:
Everyone who has an indie commercial licence will need to move onto the new version 0.9.0 as there is no auto upgrade, these will continue from 0.9.0. This will require you to sign up on the new shop, sorry for the inconvenience but the new shop system requires testing and we hope it is a simpler method.
We will provide you with a coupon for 100% discount so you will not lose your license, in fact you will get a new license and the old one will still work so keep it for your team or pass to a friend. The coupon will be in the forum email, so check your email boxes for details. If you don't get the email please contact me at sales or PM me and we will get the coupon to you.
Please Note:
As usual backup your asset library before installing the new version as you will need a clean install as the library has changed a little to accommodate the game exporter.
From Skyline Developer Team we wish you a merry Xmas Holiday and a Happy new Year!!
