Linda aside, sometimes there's a backup in order processing. Worry if Jeff makes a habit of it long after a game is newly released. —Alorael, who can only say that Linda has a less than sterling reputation on these boards. She is known for questionable decisions enforced with a heavy hand. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

It's just the fact that a juicer would be much more productive - spidweb could branch out into the orange juice market and blow the competition away! -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

I'm a beta-tester.

So, if you are beat-tester, you get a game free? of course, a beta-tester of the game itself, or not? -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

The full version or the beta version? *sigh* Can we volunteer to beta-test games too theoretically, or do you need special qualifacation? -------------------- -ben4808 Posts: 3360 | Registered: Friday, June 25 2004 07:00 |

Spiderweb takes beta tester applications almost every time it releases a game. I'm planning to apply to test A4. EDIT: Uh, if that wasn't clear enough: you have to apply to test.

Is testing difficult to do? or is it just playing the game, making suggestions and saying where the errors are. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

Well, you're expected to be thorough in playing it. Ideally, you should play through repeatedly, do different things each time, and make detailed comments and suggestions. Try to break the game's internal logic by doing things in ways the designer wouldn't expect. Assess whether combat is well-designed and what imbalances (if any) exist. When done well, it's considerably more work than just playing through it. Also, you have to expect a lot of bugs. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

If you think that the few bugs that sneak into the final version are annoying, then beta-testing is not for you. The jump from the first beta to the final version is pretty astounding. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Happy Happy Joy Joy Encyclopedia Ermariana - Trapped in the Closet ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Hmmm, maybe I should apply to be a tester. I am a "nook-and-cranny" gamer that looks in every dresser/pot/plant/bookcase/rug of every house in every town, makes sure I have every square inch of map explored, and plays through the whole game several times to make sure I've tried every single choice imaginable. And I love to find loopholes in the programming. (for example: that one square you can stand on, just around the corner, where you can kill the big boss slowly with tiny blows without him ever seeing you.) It seems I am actually rather fitted for beta-testing. -------------------- Take the Personality Test! Deep down, you wish you were a stick figure.
