    Should probably sign up for the beta before I forget again.
    I've been averting my eyes from the delicious screencaps over the past year, so as not to salivate too hard. Hopefully once Unity has come to grips with the code, it'll reach a stable feature-complete-ish version soon.

    Any ETA for the release of Bolt2, sort of public beta or even final release?
    Nonetheless, I also would like to participate on the beta program for Bolt2 if possible.
    Thanks

    Hey all,

    As of today we will be starting a closed Bolt 2 alpha with a few pre-selected Bolt users. Our current Alpha sign up count is already at 150+ users. Rather than going straight to a full public alpha, we have decided to start testing with a smaller group in order to catch and address any show-stopping bugs. The public Alpha will be a larger test of Bolt 2 than we have ever seen, allowing us to accelerate our progress. We want to make sure we are ready and this approach will allow us to refine our bug-tracking workflow in a more controlled environment, ensuring a successful release of the upcoming public Alpha.

    We’ve been hard at work internally to get Bolt 2 into your hands and we are so excited to finally be working with the community to track bugs and record UX feedback.

    We truly appreciate your continued dedication and patience and we hope you see this as a big step toward bringing Bolt 2 to Unity. If you have any more questions for us please drop by the discord and let us know: https://discord.gg/Egnu82U

    Best,

    Bolt dev team

    I bought Bolt 1, the new 2.0 I've been waiting for for months.

    Awesome! Been waiting with an ever growing excitement. Feel like Bolt 2 could accelerate the learning curve for many.

    Have the people whom are invited to the first round of Alpha tests already been notified through email?

    Hi!
    I'm looking forward to buy bolt, but as I was doing researches I learned about bolt 2. So I was wondering if bolt 1 users will be able to access bolt 2. Or if it will be possible to upgrade. Or do we need to fully buy bolt 2 if we already have bolt 1? I know these questions aren't very interesting. But I prefer to wait and buy one really good product then being frustrated ;)

    I guess it is too late now to sign up for the closed alpha?

    As far as i understand it is like this: Ludiq made the promise that everyone who bought Bolt 1 before 31st May receives free access to Bolt 2. Bolt is now aquired by Unity and they said they would honor this promise. So if you didn't already buy Bolt 1 you won't get access to Bolt 2 through buying Bolt 1. But there will be an open alpha that you can join.

    A bit of off-topic while most people wait for a public Bolt 2 alpha/beta. A Unity sponsored Bolt 1 jam starts in 2 days: https://itch.io/jam/bolt-jam-9

    I am very interested in this and programing using IAsyncResult, TCPClient, & Arrays a lot. All of these were not possible in 1 and I want to see how well it works in 2 and help if it doesn't in any way that I can!!!

    While Bolt 2 has arrays now, it can't implement interfaces. Bolt won't ever support async/await either. I've no idea what goes into writing a TCPClient so I can't comment on that.

    I'm new to coding and Bolt seems to be a great place for me to start learning. I'm definitely interested in beta testing Bolt 2. I am not a previous owner of Bolt, though. Do I still have to buy Bolt from the Unity asset store to get access to the beta of Bolt 2? I ask this because the blog post about Unity acquiring Bolt says, "Ludiq to offer Bolt 2 at no additional cost to current Bolt users and to new users who purchase Bolt before May 31, 2020 (11:59 PM PST)." That date has passed now, and I haven't seen any information regarding Bolt 2 past that date.

    It is still possible to register for the beta ? If yes, can an unskilled hobbyist like me be a part of it ?

    Thank you!

    Better late than never. I'd also like to be part of the Beta.
    Bolt 2 seems really interesting, I am eager to analize if it will help in my workflow.

    Hey all,

    Thanks for your enthusiasm and patience for joining the Bolt 2 Alpha! Things continue to progress forward with our recent start of the private alpha tests and the latest announcement that Bolt is available to all plans at no additional costs: https://forum.unity.com/threads/bolt-price-change-announcement.931530/

    We will be closing this thread and ask that anyone who still wants to join the Alpha test for Bolt 2 see this new thread and fill in a short survey: https://forum.unity.com/threads/bolt-2-alpha-cycle-has-restarted.935003/

    The short survey will officially get you on our alpha list, help us understand your context better, your expectations, and where the efforts should be focused on.
