Alpha Beta Gamer is one year old! We hope you’ve found some interesting games through the site over the past year and we plan to bring you plenty more. We also hope that we’ve helped spread the word and get some useful feedback on games that deserve your attention.
We’d love to hear any feedback about the Alpha Beta Gamer site. Any improvements you can suggest? We’re a GIF heavy site, does that affect your loading times too much? Would you like us to add forums? or a Facebook account? Would you like us to cover paid Alpha/Betas? or free games that are finished development? We’ve got some technical and time constraints (We’re a very small crew) so we can’t promise we’ll be able to fulfil all of your suggestions, but we’ll try!
We’d like to thank all of our followers for continuing to visit the site, we’ve had over a million page views over the last 3 months, which is frankly WAY more than we ever thought we’d get.
We’d also like to give special thanks to everyone who has ever shared our posts, told a friend about us, retweeted, re-blogged or added a link to their YouTube video – it really does make a huge difference. Our advertising budget is precisely $0, so if it wasn’t for all you fine people spreading the word, Alpha Beta Gamer would just be a few guys writing notes to each other about games that aren’t out yet!
One year down, and hopefully plenty more to go. Thanks for following Alpha Beta Gamer, you guys rock! :)
Happy birthday from us at Happy Landlord Studios, to you at ABG!
Kudos to you for keeping this site running!
Thanks man, it’s easy to keep it up and running if you enjoy what you’re doing!
Best of luck with Adventure Box! :)
Grats lol, you have successfully survived the onslaught, and the community’s expanded exponentially..
Thanks man! And we will get around to that Facebook support eventually! ;)
Congrats on a great first year from all at Things We Play!
Thanks man! Great Lets Plays by the way! :)
Found this site about 3 weeks ago and have been checking and reading the webpage everyday ever since
GOOD JOB!
Thanks! Really glad you found us and you like the site!
If you’ve just joined, you might of missed one of my favourite games of the year – Gorogoa. I’d highly recommend checking it out:

I still play it now and again, once I’ve had enough time to forget some of the puzzles! :)
Congrats :)
Thanks! :)
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for this awesome site. My suggestion is to try to get a little bit more horror games into it!
Thanks! We certainly would like to get more horror games onto the site as they’re pretty popular (Dark Deception & Phantasmal especially). We do test a lot of horror games, but only a few ever manage to make it onto the site as a lot of them are terrible or just Slender Man rip-offs. We do have a couple of interesting ones lined up though, so hopefully you like them! :)
Happy Birthday guys! Fee free to contact me if you ever need a hand writing up some articles or finding some new games!
Thanks man! And we could always use a hand! I’ll send you an e-mail just now. :)
