: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: tigersfan January 09, 2016, 04:20:17 AM
Hey guys, so, it seems that the last thread calling for reshirts kinda floundered.... So here's the new thread. If you want to help us with this game, please post in this thread, and I'll get you a key ASAP. If you posted in the other thread and haven't gotten a key yet, I apologize. Post here and we'll correct that situation.

Version .800 is due out within a few hours of my posting this, and we still have a release date of Jan 22, so, please only post if you can test now/ in the next couple days.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

I can give it a whirl.  I usually test late in the development cycle.  I guess we are getting close to that.

I can help out too.

Hey! I'm a long-time lurker but I never bothered registering before but feel free to throw me a build. I'm a big fan of these sorts of games so I'd be happy to put it through its paces. I've got installs running Arch Linux (proprietary nvidia drivers), Crux Linux (foss nvidia drivers), and Windows 7.

Thanks to everyone so far here. You should all have a Steam key in your forum inboxes.

My brain needs a break from writing SQL queries. Lemme give this a try.

Hello,
I can help if still needed!
I thought this was going to be more like a paid early access? I would gladly subscribe to this kind of model (knowing it's an Arcen game and will deliver). Will tip anyway.
 I wasn't of any help on the Stars Beyond Reach beta, what with my schedule at the time going overboard, but still plan to go back to it when development is going on again, now that things are back to normal on my side.
I don't have a lot of (any?) experience in these kind of games though.
Let me know.

If you didn't get enough testers, I'd be willing to help. I use windows and linux, though if this is through steam I'm only willing to test for windows due to the issues with Steam for linux. What is it you want the testers to be looking for anyway?
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: Vacuity January 09, 2016, 05:52:21 PM
Sadly, there's no real chance of me having time to help out with testing, but I wish you all the best with development, and as always, I'll purchase on day one of release.  :D I look forward to this one as I look forward to everything made by Arcen.

I'd love to test this game. I've been a huge fan of Arcen for years (AI WAR!!!!). Please send me this thing you call a 'key'. :)

Email is [email protected] (not the one listed in my profile)

More details in the note I'm going to send you, but, balance feedback is REALLY important right now, and, any obvious bugs you run across.

Experience in these kinds of games is not a requirement. We need people with experience and without.

Can I send it to you via a forum PM instead? If you need an email that's fine, it's just easier through the forums with my current set up.

I would love to help test this game, it looks great!

Always get excited at new Arcen games. ^_^

Wow didn't know release was so close.  I'm down to help test.
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: tigersfan January 10, 2016, 03:16:40 AM
Ok, as of this post, everyone should have a key. Please let me know if that's not the case.

I think I got a duplicate key. At least, that's what Steam is saying.

I have plenty of time to test.
Did the public paid alpha end up not happening? I was mostly waiting for that.
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: Tridus January 10, 2016, 05:26:11 PM
Sure, sign me up.

The last thread made it sound like it was going to be a more limited and shorter testing period than usual, which is why I didn't speak up. :)

Aw, man...now that I don't have time, you're looking for testers (my fault really as I haven't been checking this forum for a few weeks). I can't participate because I'd only have time for it this Thursday and then not till release day (exams and lectures... ::)) I wish you all good luck for the last days till the finish line, though!
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: Kingpin23 January 10, 2016, 11:33:43 PM
I have some time off upcoming weeks so I want to help out if there are still testers needed.
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: ajhager January 10, 2016, 11:49:16 PM
I would love to test!
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!

Sure, sign me up as well.
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: tigersfan January 11, 2016, 01:28:46 AM
Ok, everyone up to this point should be all set.

Just so everyone knows, I've been trying to keep on these as quickly as I can be, but now that the weekend is done, it might be a bit longer from when you sign up to when i get you a key. Don't worry, I'll get the keys out though, so please be patient.

I would like to help for the testing phase. I like what you guys are doing in general, and this game seems to be quite interessing. :)
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: Spikey00 January 11, 2016, 07:42:51 PM
Would be able to fit in some playtime, but unfortunately most of that falls during the week after.  Possibly streaming it to a few friends would be OK?
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: rallythelegions January 11, 2016, 09:49:32 PM
I've got quite a bit of free-time between now and release since classes haven't started yet. I can help out if you still need people to test.

I've been playing 4x games since the genre was invented and would love to test this for you guys.
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: tigersfan January 12, 2016, 12:14:29 PM
Ok, awesome. Thanks again to everyone who's signed up. As always, if you didn't get a code, or there's a problem, please let me know.

: Apathetic January 13, 2016, 03:26:33 PM
I had planned to buy this when it came out.  I can help some with the beta as I have time however. 
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: RockyBst January 13, 2016, 06:23:48 PM
Sounds interesting, I wouldn't mind taking a pop over the next week or so. I tend to buy everything you guys put out as soon as it's released anyway, so I'm used to the little foibles by now.

I offered but was passed over.

If you still need more testers, I'd be happy to help out.

: CaptainTaz January 14, 2016, 07:46:01 PM
Are there any requirements for testing? (like, should I be looking for things to report, say what things lack, etc.?) I've never tested before, but if you need more some details would help me figure out what I can contribute :)

I don't have the most open schedule, but I've been finding my free time is full of hours in dead time lately because of waiting for, ironically, the 22nd and some new 3DS games.

I've never played a game like this, but it seems pretty fun from what I saw the video I watched.

Wow, so sorry. No idea how that happened. It was not in the least bit intentional. Check your forum inbox.

Mostly the requirements are a computer, an internet connection, and a willingness to both test and give feedback. :) As for what to look out for and such, instructions are included with the invite, and in game.

If you still need testers. I'm available for a while.
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: Wingflier January 15, 2016, 03:34:45 PM
I'll test it if you still want feedback!
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: madcow January 16, 2016, 02:55:42 AM
I was planning to wait for release, but if more feedback is really needed I'll throw in sure. If there's enough feedback I'm fine waiting to get it on release though.
: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!
: tigersfan January 16, 2016, 03:35:33 AM
Sounds, Wingflier, madcow, check your inboxes. Chemical_art, you seem to want to wait a bit yet, so, I"ll hold off. But, please, as we get closer, don't be afraid to remind me. I tend to be a forgetful sort.

: Re: URGENT CALL FOR TESTERS!

I shall, which day do you aim to release it?

22nd IIRC.  This is it, the last week.  Crunch time :)   There really isn't reason to wait around at this point,  get your butt in queue to test  ;)

22nd is correct. I'm not going to push anyone to join the test before they're ready, but yeah, we're getting pretty close.

I will push aside my schedule for tomorrow night.  Hopefully I get the release by then

: waylon531 January 18, 2016, 08:28:19 AM
I can do testing over this week, I have basically no school because of the finals schedule this week and having already taken most of my finals.
