Tiny Speck has announced that they are putting their online game Glitch back into beta in order to enact large changes and add things like tools to create levels and buildings for players. A relaunch date has not been set for the casual MMO, but the beta will be playable in beta to players and refunds will be available for those that ask for them.
“Two months ago we launched Glitch to the world. Now we’re unlaunching it,” said Stewart Butterfield, co-founder of Tiny Speck. “There are two obvious and huge improvements we need to make: the first is to make the early game reveal itself more easily to new players so they can get into the fun faster.”
“Some fairly radical changes to core game mechanics are going to be necessary to make Glitch what it needs to be,” explained Butterfield. “And making radical changes to core game mechanics is something that’s a lot harder to do while the front doors are open.”
