Awesome video, the Tales of Woe one!

Blue it is!  And glad you like the video. :D

The second one should be done any day now, and I'm even more excited about that one.  I was honestly feeling pretty iffy on part 3 based on... I don't know, over-familiarity.  I felt like it just wasn't as funny when I was going in and editing the audio.  The voices were great, and there were funny parts, but I knew all the jokes and it wasn't making me really laugh anymore.  But with some strategic editing, and then a really good (if I do say so) usage of sound effects, I made something I'm really proud of there, too.  And then of course Julian always kicks it up to 1000% after that.  So I'm really pleased, I think all three are at least as strong as this first one now, or at least should be. :)

Hey there. I've Mantised some things and I'm up for some more. I'd prefer "the game explodes when I try to load an iron man save" to "horticulture is OP", but since you have plenty of redshirts, I could be blue.

Also, my monitor is older than some of the people reading this topic.

Awesome, I have you down as blue!  For reference, what size is your monitor, how is it on brightness and such (I assume older CRT), what aspect ratio, and what resolution do you play at?  I'm wondering if you have problems seeing things with the slight fuzz that CRTs give or if they seem clear, given your setup.  Should be a good test of our font and button sizes, heh.

It's not CRT, "alas", but 15", 4:3, and 1024 x 768. The Last Federation works smoothly on this setup, thanks for that.

How serious are you about wanting the game tested on a CRT? Pretty sure I still have one around.

Not too serious, honestly.  If someone has it, then great.  Otherwise, I don't much care.  I'm not sure how many people still use those, to be honest.  2005 still seems like yesterday to me, but in reality it was a long time ago. :)  That was kind of the end of the era of CRTs for me, computer-wise at least.

I must say I did not like the last federation or skyward collapse, but this looks a lot more like my style of game. It looks awesome on so many level. Graphic are beautiful, asymmetric play is very interesting and I really like the unit less approach and non blocking attack stuff (I loath using planes in civ due to the animation delay....). and the SciFy setting look interesting. Hopefully I will be more successful at it than at AI war :).

Anyway, If you can add me to the blue shirts, I would be happy to help test (not having fun I promise ;)).

Gotta love the subtext of Tales of Woe. "Yeah, you've got no worthwhile skills to speak of right now, and you can't learn anything new at a worthwhile rate... I guess we'll make you the leader."

:P

I don't have any particular preference for testing schedule, so put me in any wave that needs more bodies thrown into the breach. ;)

I've had some time open up.  Any chance I can still join the blueshirts? :D

Still looking for some beta testers? I feel like helping out with this game is the least I could do for getting some of your other games at a ludicrously good price in a bundle  :P

In all seriousness, I respect Arcen Games' design philosophy and would like to contribute a bit.

Let me at 'em! Let me at 'em! I would love to beta test this (at whatever level).
