Alright, we’re kinda getting back to real life and we can tell you something about two «Tanki Online» parties we had this weekend.

At 4th of June we did small and very nice evening for close friends and partners in our friends’ WoodHouse Cafe.

At right pic you can see SUN, she’s one of the best project beta-testers. Cafe boss James is standing there too.

That evening may be called informal. Open party at June 6th may be called pure trash mess badaboom:

Tanki Online — open test

04.06.2009 Anton Volkov

Almost a month has passed from the closed beta launch. There was about 600 testers who have discovered more than 200 bugs and helped us a lot by making notes and suggestions. Nevertheless, there’s still much work to do. We have plenty of ideas and of course there are bugs to fix. We’ll work hard on all this stuff during next months.

Now, we invite you to participate in open test of Tanki Online!

Bug-tracking system closed

14.01.2009 Anton Volkov

We got more than 5800 registered users, and it’s really cool! However, our JIRA bug-tracking system thinks different — we began to have some troubles with users database.

This system not popular among our users, so we decided to close automatic access. If you need to use it, drop us a line to management@alternativaplatform.com.

Adobe MAX Europe 2008 official report (part 3)

11.12.2008 Alexander Karpovich

We almost missed second day of the conference, partly because we decided to take a short brake and to have a look around, partly because we agreed to change some things in our coming session. “Some changes” took whole day and night, but that didn’t prevent us from joining Customer Appreciation Event, to which people have been transported by a bunch of buses. It took place in a comfortable La Pelota place, dj was playing, and there were a lot of tasty food around, along with red wine and beer. It was really funny and cool, but we managed not to drink and to get away fast, in order to polish our tomorrow session to it’s best.

You could get you food by yourself... ...or wait until delivery In a bar Performers
