Am kommenden Donnerstag wird die erste Pre-Beta-Version von Ashes of the Singularity für Käufer der "Founder's Edition" (49,99 Dollar) oder der "Founder's Lifetime Edition" (99,99 Dollar; inkl. drei Erweiterungen und 16 DLC-Paketen) zur Verfügung stehen. Laut Stardock und Oxide Games wird man Schlachten gegen Computergegner, Multiplayer-Gefechte und den Karten-Editor ausprobieren können. Auch ein DirectX-12-Benchmark wird versprochen.

On August 20 the first pre-beta build of the game will be coming which will have:

• Skirmish vs. AI
• Multiplayer
• Support for large and huge maps
• Map editor
• The first DirectX 12 benchmark program
• Founder's badge
• Access to the Founder’s forum
• Additional perks (additional keys to share with friends in the future)
  

What are we trying to accomplish?

• You are fighting a WAR. Not a battle.
• Battles on multiple fronts.
• Your APM is irrelevant. It's about your strategy - controlling strategic positions. Cutting off supply lines. Units don't die very fast.
• Strong RTS AI for single player
• Unparalleled scale.  Massive maps with thousands of units.
• Easy to mod, easy for people to create and share maps
• Random map choices.
• Lots of configurability
  

Who should NOT join?

• The founder's program isn't for everyone:
• Founder's builds are very rough. Not for the casual player.
• Game play, art and design are still very early.
• There is an NDA still. No streaming or public screenshots yet please wo permission.
• We are looking for experienced RTS players. We want to make sure that our UI and game mechanics rewards good strategy.
• The hardware requirements for the founder's program is very high. Video card needs at least 1GB of memory.
• We are looking to build a core community for the game as the team is looking to enhance this game for a long time (like what we’re doing with GalCiv III!).
