Wanted: game testers!

ProPain · 27-07-2005, 23:21

As most of you already know me and two friends (one of which is Stephko in the Hattrick forum) are working on an online cycling game.

Development has started at the beginning of 2005 and the actual programming has been going on since april. At the moment we're reaching the stage that parts of the game are ready to be tested. This doesn't mean that the game is close te being finished (far from

) but that bits are ready for testing to assure code stability and balance game mechanics.

Apart from the testing we're also still developing parts of the game and can certainly use feedback and input on that as well.

So if you're interested in contributing to the game and testing new features as they're leaving the production room then post here or PM me and I'll get you a spot in the development forum.

Regards PP

If you don't need to know how to program, then I could be useful. I usually take a very aggressive tact in all my games and attempt to sustain it and you can help determine that balancing with more conservative, thoughtful players.

No programming skills are required at all. Our programmers are doing that dirty work

Can I playtest from my normal seat or do I need a 1 inch wide leather saddle?

Always prepared to help, some screenies would be nice!

Screenies is bit much to ask for at the moment. Tomorrow the first test version of the Stage engine will be available so you can watch riders (well, little dots actually) on your screen cycling on a track then.

A bit to keep you all up-to-date. Testtool revealed a bug that made testing rather useless. Atm the bug is being ironed out and some other features are implemented in the testtool to make it easier to use.

I expect a first release today, but I'm in Rome (leaving in 1.5 hours

) so I can't post it. I;m back on monday and by then it will be on my high priority list.
