Ī working beta version of Victoria II was demonstrated in June 2010 at the E3 show held in Los Angeles. Between November 2009 and June 2010, 29 numbered diaries and two bonus diaries were published. The development team covered the progress of development in their diaries, which were published to Paradox's official forum by Christopher King. The game was developed by a development team consisting of producer, designer and programmer Johan Andersson, project leader and programmer Thomas Johansson, designer and tester Christopher King, programmers Dan Lind, Fredrik Zetterman, Olof Björk, Henrik Vohraeus, Bjorn Johannessen, Sara Wendel-Ertqvist, artists Yunus Jakobsson, Fredrik Persson and composer Andreas Waldetoft. On June 17, 2010, when it became known that there would be many pre-orders giving the game good sales, Wester asked Jessica Chobot at IGN to shave his head and upload the pictures to Twitter. It was revealed in a German interview with Fredrik that 70,000 copies would need to be sold for Victoria II to be profitable. In the end, Andersson and Wester made a bet that, if Victoria 2 was successful, Wester would shave is head, and if it was not, he would have sole control over which game would release next. On the contrary, Johan Andersson, the initiator of the project, was confident that the game would be successful, referring to the requests and votes by fans and the opinion of the development team.
