For all I'm noting as yellow -- please expect a PM from me within about 30 minutes with your key and brief notes. Thanks!
I was hoping to be a Blue shirt. (Its my favorite color) But yellow is suitable enough for what I'm sure is an endeavor has low chances of success and even less of survival.
Yellowed you! Sorry I missed you in blue!
You can pop me on as a Yellowshirt, I will have some time from the 1st of June.
Gotcha on there.
About specific configuration, I've got dual monitor (actually the second one is a TV, so I can switch it off if required). Otherwise standard 2 years old decent computer (a "mid-priced" gamer's PC) with windows 7. I got a 4 years old PC I can also test the game with if needed. I already "registered" in another thread, and about "playing time" I'm not available on the 06 / 07 June week-end. So either before of after will be better for me.
About reviewing, what I actually want to test is a real-time "let's play" or rather a "let's discover the game" - and then remarks. Sorry in advance about my accent. But, when I see a game, I tend to propose large reworks that need time. I favor remarks toward UI issues, then design issues, then gameplay & balance issues when reviewing a game. As an example of the remarks I can do, for Skyward collapse, I think the major design issue is that each turn is split in 4 turns (or was last time I tested it, but I don't think that changed)- and I'll not hesitate to make that huge a remark when testing. I'll try to take care of not depressing you when commenting but my record about that part has been spotty at best.
About Arcen's games... I actually don't like all of your games. I consider Tidalis and Skyward collapse's design to be flawed, bionic dues to be too excel-oriented but otherwise enjoyable, I enjoyed both VWW games, especially the second one, and I like very much AI War and TLF.
Place me in a wave as you see fit .
That's all fair enough, and I've got you added as yellow. It sounds like you'd like to be down and dirty with as early a version as you can get.
I'd like to be in the next group, if possible.
You got it!
Cross post from the other thread. I own TLF and expansion, AI Wars and all its expansions, and Skyward collapse.
I write a blog on which I sometimes review and preview games. Please put me in.
Yep, gotcha from both!
I will love to test This World is Mine, I previously provided good feedback when I was an Alpha Tester for The Last Federation.
Oh yes you have provided excellent feedback. Added you, and will be glad to have you.
Hi I'd love to test for the next wave!
Got you from another thread!
Just purchased AI War, and was seriously impressed. Saw this beta sign up - I'd love to participate!
Good news on my end is that I work nights at a hotel, so I have plenty of time to test!
Thanks! That's very kind of you. I've added you to the yellow wave.
May 29th is fine for me.
Got you on the list!
Hope I can be in the next wave That SugeBearX post (http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,17593.0.html) sure sounds exciting.
Got you.
Eeep! I'd love to get a yellowshirt, but I'll live if there isn't room!
At least I hope so
You won't have to find out; you're on the list.
Hm, i have signed up in genetal thread, and i'm wondering, for which part of betatesting i have signed up?
No particular wave at the time, just in the general list of folks that I sprinkle in throughout each wave. But now you're in this wave.
Hm, i have signed up in genetal thread, and i'm wondering, for which part of betatesting i have signed up?
Same here. Would be cool to see some sort of list or something similar.
I don't sort people until either they ask to be in a specific wave, or until I go through looking at my spreadsheet and their comments when asking to be added as well as whether I know them and when they signed up, etc. I try to pull a mix of people who signed up a while back, who signed up recently, who I know, who I don't, who sound excited, who sound calm, etc, etc. There's no magic formula, I just try to take a mix. Except when people have specific requests on given time periods, in which case I work around their schedule.
Anyway, you're a yellow now.
I would like to sign up, please, if I'm a viable candidate; I won't be able to do a great deal of testing, but what I can do is put it through its paces on my Linux machine (with integrated Radeon graphics - how's that for a stress test?!) and report performance in any way you'd like.
Huw! Long time no see, feels like.
Good to see you. Not a worry on not having a ton of time for testing, I'll be glad to have you. And very interested in the performance metrics, too.
I've signed up in various other threads, but I'll put my name in here also. I'm ready to give some feedback.
Got you!
I would love to participate in the beta testing, as any kind of shirt. I previously participated in testing on Shattered Haven, and one other, either Valley 2 or The Last Federation. I can't remember what one of the two. Sheesh!
Anyway, I am up for any wave of testing, and would love to help out in any way I can.
Thanks!
You've definitely been around on a number of them, and were a great help. Glad to have you back! Added you to the yellow group since you posted here.
After recent IRL events I'm going to be fine with a yellow shirt =), if possible.
Noted above already, but you got it.
Count me in as a proud yellowshirt if you're still looking for testers!
You got it!
