Hi all,
The next version of Tidepool, our multiplayer programmable game world for kids, is releasing next week.
We're finalizing our alpha invite list. If you want to try Tidepool for free, signup before September 1st to reserve your spot and become a "trailblazer".
You'll earn a badge that's visible in game, and you'll get special perks when the game releases. You can also reserve your username.
http://playtidepool.com/signup
Starting Tuesday, you'll need to contribute to October's Kickstarter to get early access, so signup now.
Take care,
Tim

Hi everyone,
I’ve been making great progress on Tidepool, our programmable game world for kids, though haven’t talked much about it this summer. Yesterday I resumed my development log, with daily details and screenshots for those interested. The programming interface is really coming along.
blog: http://playtidepool.com/news/
rss: http://playtidepool.com/news/feed/
We’ve also picked some solid release dates. For too long, I’ve treated Tidepool as a pet project with “when it’s done” aspirations. From here on, I’ll timebox each release as I would with a client.
So, mark your calendar … beta release on December 1st … official “gold” release on March 20th. These dates will not change.
We’re planning a release party on March 20th with an equinox bonfire in our backyard, so if you’re able to make it out for the weekend, we’ll make room for you. One way or another, my twenty-one months of work will be done, so come celebrate or commiserate.
Take care,
Tim

For years, I've endeavored to create a courseware library that showcases
the deep-learning possibilities of tools such as Squeak Etoys and Scratch.
We made progress using Etoys as the platform, but never quite finished. Now
I’d like to try again with Tidepool <http://playtidepool.com/>.
I’m hoping to find educators who can help us create 8 to 24 units this
summer. We have a fund for stipends, which will be shared by the authors.
All courseware will be Creative Commons. Tidepool itself is free.
Contact me here if interested: http://PlayTidepool.com/contact/

Take care,

Hi everyone,
We just released the second alpha version of Tidepool, our own attempt to
make something new from what we learned over the years from Etoys, Scratch,
Logo, and Sugar.
To see Tidepool in action, or to get notified when we open things up to
more testers, go here:

If you’re interested in joining the discussion as I design a new
programming model for kids, chime in on TIGSource:

Also, if any of you are attending ISTE in Philadelphia this June, I’d love
to say hi! Feel free to email or call me anytime.
Take care,
Tim
