Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1153

"Well, that's a relief."

The rest of the comments were a unified wall of netizens begging Solflare Technologies to release "Legend of Heroes" as soon as possible.

Brayden Knox, who was driving them, asked, "Since you've already whetted everyone's appetite, shouldn't we release it early?"

"We're already running internal and external tests simultaneously. How much faster can we get?" Owen replied. "It's better to test it thoroughly. Fix what needs fixing and adjust what needs adjusting. Once all that is handled, the launch will be flawless instead of a scrambled mess."

A closed beta test was a small-scale trial phase before a game's official launch. Developers invited players to experience the game for free and provide feedback, which was then used to optimize performance and patch bugs.

It ensured the public release would be smooth and fair.

Mira scrolled through the online buzz for a few more minutes before pocketing her phone, ready to head into the office.

Since Felix had pulled an all-nighter and was taking the day off, Mira decided to skip the headquarters and head straight to the gaming division.

She hadn't gamed in quite some time, and she wanted to properly experience it today. She needed to see if it delivered that addictive rush and identify any lingering flaws.

"If you're heading to the gaming company, I'll skip my work today and tag along," Owen said. Hearing the extravagant praise online had sparked his curiosity as well.

"Sounds good. Since we're entering the testing phase today, let's jump into a few matches with the players," Mira agreed.

The beta was free to play, but the official launch would require a purchase. To save time, Mira had authorized simultaneous internal and external testing, making it entirely free for now. However, access was region-locked, and all data would be wiped once the test concluded.

"Here's the new rule," Mira told Soren. "If you see someone skipping meals, have the kitchen bring them food. If someone looks exhausted, order them to rest. Keep a close eye on this—do not let anyone ruin their health. Or better yet, hire someone specifically to manage the team's eating and sleeping schedules."

With that settled, Mira and Owen found two empty setups and prepared to jump into the game with the testers.

Just as she booted up her computer, Liora called. "Mira, can your company release the new game faster? Celine and I are dying of anticipation."

"Perfect timing. We're running the beta test right now. If you're free, you can log in and join us."

"That's amazing! I'll call Celine right now, and Reece too. Can all of us get access?"
