0.6a is coming along well, and it's getting near (but not yet at) the point
where I'll need some testers for the new content. Seems like most of my
usual testers on are summer vacation or something, and I'll need 3-5 more for
testing so I'm seeing if anyone wants to help me find the many bugs that are
still in 0.6a.
What I'm going to need is testers to do some specific testing, trying to
find bugs primarily, spelling/grammar issues as a secondary. I'll be communicating
via a SVN for bug reports and secondary releases. There will be a few
requirements to doing so.
1. The free time to do so. I'm expecting to start testing on 7/7
and have it run for a week hopefully, but no more than 2-3 weeks. But
during that week I do expect people to be able to put in some fairly serious
testing.
2. You will have to install a SVN software to get the newest
versions. I have a nice walkthrough on how to install it, but it will be
required.
3. The patience and wherewithal to actually do testing. This
isn't a public beta, this is a testing phase. The game is most certainly
broken at the moment and it's your job to poke and prod every crevice finding
the spots that it's cracked.
4. You must be fluent in English. I understand that people from
all over the world play Harem, but for testing I need to be able to communicate
easily.
If you are interested, send an e-mail to haremrpg@gmail.com including the
following.
0. The subject must be 'Harem Testing'. If it is anything else
(or less or more) I will automatically delete it without reading it.
1. A few sentences on how testing is different than playing.
2. Any experience you have working with RPG-VX
3. Any experience you have in game design or testing previously.
4. An idea of how much time you'll be able to put in over the next few
weeks for testing.
Thank you to everyone who applies in advance. Please understand that I
am intentionally keeping the number of testers fairly small so I can manage the
team and with the number of e-mails I'm likely to receive from this, I won't be
able to contact anyone but those I chose. If you didn't get an email by
Friday, sorry, but you'll have to wait until release.
And hopefully release will be sometime mid to late July.
Nice to see this is going to see the light soon. Regrettably, I can't apply for the testing phase, not having that time right now, but I wish to all of you guys a good work in advance. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLong time ago i asked, to be a tester , but not I got the chance and can't use it, because since 20th of last month I got a job, but I will play it with a burning passion.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good news.

Well, I just sent in an application to be one. Hope to see if you accept. If not, I'll be awaiting the greatness that is this game.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to thank you for this amazing game. I´m really a fan of this "old school"-RPG games (reminds me on classics like vampire story and so on.)
ReplyDeleteI've now played it 6 and a half hours on a row, because it's amazing. I like the story (even when I dunno the ending). It's always a pleasure to come back to my Fortress and talk with all my little slaves and take care of their issues.
Please continue working on this master piece of a game.
