Title: Call for Alpha 4 testers (locked as A4 has been released)
Post by: Tynan on May 29, 2014, 04:32:17 PM
Hey all. So Alpha 4 is coming up. I really want to get stability testing in on it, so I could use help from new testers!

Please note that testing isn't just playing the game. When you find bugs, you should be ready to investigate them and make efforts to determine steps to reproduce them. And, of course, you need to write bug reports for anything you find.

If you're interested, please reply to this thread. Please answer:

1. What OS(es) do you have?
2. Have you tested or developed software before?

Thanks all!

Windows 7 Home 64-bit.

Tested; yes, definitely. Quite a bit of testing, bug-hunting and trouble-shooting for various mods, independent projects and a few AAA games.

Developed software; low to medium level modding for dozens of games, some basic coding development for independent projects such as Space Station 13, 'from scratch' simplistic programs with Flash/Java.

Windows 7 64 bit

Filed many bug reports (tho not an official tester) for a handful of games. Decently good at reproduction. Coding experience (just graduated with a CIS degree) but nothing major, it's a backup to my actuarial degree

1. Win7 64bit
2. 5 years of indie game developer experience. Was responsible 1.5 year for inherited project that had 40k lines of spaghetti code (i wanted to kill person that was working on it before me) and had to fix bugs for client while actively deploying new features. Other than that made around 20 small html5 games and around 10 flash smaller titles.

Im not promising anything but I would like to try testing for you Tynan.

1. Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit (+ RT, not that that will be helpful)
2. Have been testing various games for a while, in particular KAG (where I am a tester and a global moderator) and also use Mantis for my own projects and used it for KAG. My modding team: www.viridimilitis.com (I'm VanHuek). So I am experienced in reproducing the bugs/reporting them on mantis/recording them, etc...

1. Windows 7 Pro x64
2. I've been a professional software developer for 15 years. I tested legend of grimrock dungeon editor during it's public beta. These are the more recent relevant things.

In the very early days of my career I did work on some games on my own, but those projects failed to see the light of day because I was unable to attract graphics/music artists to participate. Had I succeeded, my career might look a whole lot different, but who knows...

- Windows 7, 32 bit.
- I've not much complete experience on major titles, but i've been apart of minor community aspects on mods (Such as SAMP) and online games such as Dead Frontier which had group oriented around testing updates. I've played more of major role in SAMP often as the engine of Unity for Dead Frontier was different and easily manipulative.
