  • what about pre-alpha?

  • I wasn't around then, but I'm pretty sure that alpha is the first time players can test a game. I'm just going by the wiki.

  • Primuary 1st, Year 0 was April 1st, 2009.
    But that begs the question whether or not there WAS a year 0.
    Primuary 1st, Year 1 was May 22, 2009.
    But of course the name Tiny Speck wasn't announced to to world until July of that year.

    Start of alpha is the best date you're going to get as to "when the world started for players outside of Tiny Speck."

  • Thanks, LBO! This satisfies the curiosity I suddenly realized I had!

  • February 2010 would have been Year 5.

    July 9/2009 (the day of the announcement) would have been 43rd Widdershins, Year One.

    The Startling Fecundity calendar converter goes back to Year Zero, as Lord Bacon-o has said.  But it's not clear whether this is because time in Ur started in Year Zero, or whether it's just programmed like that.

    I would love to know if time started in Year Zero or Year One, because then I could start doing some serious astrological calculations :D

  • And Miss Portinari gets the Zaniest Glitch award for using "serious" and "astrological" in the same sentence!

  • Wow. Glitch is a lot older than I thought.

  • The exact date of alpha launch, for what it's worth, has been confirmed by staff to be the 21st of February, 2010.

  • So it is either April 1st 2009 or May 22nd, 2009 (LBO) or July 9th, 2009  (Miss Portinari) or February 21, 2010 (katlazam)

  • Here's the place where it says April 1, 2009: developer.glitch.com/docs/t...
    ...which is "the start of the current calendar".  So there was a year 0, at least theoretically, even if there weren't players playing yet.

    So:
    * Start of the Current Calendar = April 1/2009 or Primuary 1/Year 0
    * Tiny Speck is Announced on Twitter = July 9/2009 or Widdershins 43/Year 1
    * The Day of Alpha Launch = February 21/2010 or Fever 10/Year 6

    But then the original question was about the first day Glitch had players on it, which would be alpha launch, correct?  February 21?

    ...and @Crinkle - you're so sweet ;)

  • Giants have lived since the Second Day of Creation - as they were Imagined by God. Glitch the Game followed much later.

    The End.

  • Wait, so you are postulating a God who is outside of and beyond the Giants, who in fact created the Giants?  Doesn't that make you a heretic or something? :D
