==Development== On March 31, 2007, a demo was released that allowed players to play a tutorial, two single player missions and multiplayer. This demo has since been noted or reviewed in various gaming related websites and magazines such as [[The Escapist (magazine)|The Escapist]],<ref>{{cite web | last = Howard | first = Wen | title = So Game We All | publisher = [[The Escapist (magazine)]] | date = 2008-02-26 | url = http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_138/2971-So-Game-We-All | accessdate = 2008-03-18 }} </ref> [[Macworld]],<ref>{{cite web | last = Hodge | first = Karl | title = Battlestar Galactica: Beyond The Red Line Review | publisher = [[Macworld]] | date = 2007-09-03 | url = http://www.macworld.co.uk/macsoftware/reviews/index.cfm?reviewid=2298 | accessdate = 2008-03-18 }} </ref> [[PC Gamer UK]] <ref>{{cite news | title = Beyond the Red Line | pages = 98 | work = [[PC Gamer UK]] | publisher = James Binns | date = 7/2007 | accessdate = 2008-03-19 }} </ref> and [[Pelit]].<ref>{{cite news | last = Mäkinen | first = Marko | title = Paahdinjahtia | pages = 34 | work = [[Pelit]] | language = [[Finnish language|Finnish]] | publisher = [[SanomaWSOY]] | date = 5/2007 | accessdate = 2008-03-18 }}</ref> The development team has been interviewed on several occasions <ref>{{cite web | title = Mod is Dead: Beyond the Red Line | publisher = [[Shacknews]] | date = 2007-07-31 | url = http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=489 | accessdate = 2008-03-18 }} </ref> including a "making of" special in Pelit.<ref>{{cite news | last = Kankola | first = Tuomas | title = Pitkä tie punaiselle viivalle | pages = 35–36 | work = [[Pelit]] | language = Finnish | publisher = [[SanomaWSOY]] | date = 5/2007 | accessdate = 2008-03-18 }}</ref> The BtRL demo has also been featured on the covers of two [[Ukraine|Ukrainian]] magazines as well as in cover [[DVD]] of [[Finland|Finnish]] computer magazine [[Mikrobitti]].<ref>{{cite web | title = Huvi & Hyöty DVD 2008 | language = Finnish | work = [[Mikrobitti]] | date = 3/2008 | publisher = [[SanomaWSOY]] | url = http://www.mbnet.fi/nettijatkot/2008/03/hh2008/ | accessdate = 2008-03-18 }} </ref> In October 2008, the majority of the team announced that they had left the Beyond the Red Line development team to work on a different project, known as Diaspora.<ref>{{cite web | title = Diaspora FAQ | publisher = Diaspora Team | date = 2008-10-01 | url = http://www.diaspora-game.com/faq.html | accessdate = 2009-08-20 }}</ref> Although Diaspora is also a Battlestar Galactica game built on the FreeSpace 2 engine, it is being developed independently of BTRL and the projects have no affiliation with each other.<ref>{{cite web | title = About Beyond the Red Line | publisher = Beyond the Red Line Team | date = 2008-10-01 | url = http://www.beyondtheredline.net/about.html | accessdate = 2009-08-20 }}</ref> In August 2009, it was announced that as a consequence of the Diaspora fork, BtRL's subsequent inactivity, and BtRL's perceived hostility toward its fans since the split, BtRL would no longer be hosted at Game Warden, its historical home.<ref>{{cite web | title = Farewell BTRL | publisher = Game Warden | date = 2009-08-14 | url = http://www.game-warden.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7620 | accessdate = 2009-08-20 }}</ref> BtRL's primary website has been moved and the demo hosting mirrored on a number of providers.
