MOON TYCOON Press Release: New Moon Tycoon Beta 1. 4 Released!

BEHOLD - Moon Tycoon Beta Version 1.4! Ok, we've made some pretty bold claims before, and we're going to do it again! Beta 1.4 is unbelievable - if you want to be amazed, if you want your eyes to pop out of your head, if you want to be knocked to the floor because you've never seen a game this incredible, then you need Moon Tycoon right now!

To play this new version, simply download LUNA Beta 1.4 from www.MoonTycoon.com. This is the last version before Moon Tycoon hits the store shelves this September, so get it while you can! What's New? Can you say "major upgrade?" You spoke and we listened. We enhanced, improved, upgraded, and overhauled. You wanted it, so we did it. We spared no expense to make this game the best it could be for you. Check out the list of goodies:

Complete upgrade to graphics. New 3D models, cleaner textures, MUCH brighter and LOTS more colorful visuals. The visual upgrade we're giving the game is a bigger jump than any of the previous versions you've played!

New color-coded interface system for intuitive gameplay. Very nice!

Real day/night cycle with dynamic lighting. Now the sun rises and sets over your colony, casting shadows and lens flares, and highlighting the buildings as it orbits.

Celestial bodies (Earth and other planets) are now true 3D objects which revlove around the solar system, and spin on their own axis.

Night - When the sun sets, your city will come alive with night lights! Very cool. You have to see this...

New hi-res astronaut models, new space vehicles, more flying ships, the list goes on...

New missions and places to colonize - now you can build in the asteroid belt too! Check out the view of Saturn from a wandering deep space asteroid...

Much more balanced gameplay - The Standard (sandbox) level allows you to move into Mining, Research, or Tourism from the very start. You decide what kind of colony you want to build right, right away!

Colony Attraction has been re-calibrated to make Tourism an easier and more fair industry to manage.

Gameplay is now easy enough for any player to pick up and quickly learn, but has enough depth to keep you interested into the wee hours of the morning, and challenge even hardcore gaming experts!

All new customized terrain maps the missions, which really add an incredible visual and gameplay element to each mission. Now the missions have some breathtaking canyons, valleys, and mountains for you to build around!

In-game info much more detailed. New access to Help Menus that give information on each building's effect on Morale, Attraction, Research, etc. As well as information on building availability, strategies and tips.

Choice of music soundtracks! The game now has over 2 hours of music, and you choose the style you want to listen to - either the mellow, dreamy ambient sountrack, or the fast paced, thumping techno soundtrack.

Sound FX revamped - more variety for repetetive sounds.

Voices re-recorded - now sounds much better!

More fun! Lots more humor and fun injected directly into Moon Tycoon's heart. You'll have a blast!

A few new Easter Eggs for you to find. Very clever...

The list goes on and on and on... Trust us - download it now! When is Moon Tycoon going to be in the stores? Glad you asked! Beta 1.4 is the last public Beta we're releasing. It's been a long journey, and the final version of Moon Tycoon will be landing on Earth very shortly! Keep your eyes peeled this September, when Moon Tycoon will be sold in all the major retail stores, as well as special offers from the web site.

Once again, we want to thank the thousands of players who have contributed to the success of Moon Tycoon's development. We’re sure you’ll enjoy the new Beta and we want to assure all players we've worked hard to make the final version of Moon Tycoon the game you wanted!
