Seeking: Game Testers

Howdy everyone.

This ones a little.. unreleated to cars, for thoes of you who arent into computer games, theres going to be nothing here of intrest to you.


For a year on and off I have been working on a project of mine, a FP RTS in space. Recently I met up with a bunch of artists who convinced me to deploy the engine I had developed in the b5 universe, and the result is B5: Severed Dreams.

Basically, the whole point of the game is to be a tatical space simulator. You command your little task force from the cockpit of your fighter and you can call in limited reinforcements. You get given a bunc

The game is quite pretty, I will cook up some screenshots from the latest build in a second and post them as an ammendment to this post.

What im after is people to help me properly test the game. I need people who are really going to put it through its paces, test every build that comes out and find that elusive bug and prehaps whats causing it so I can fix it. Testing is not just a nice bludge that allows you to play the game before its released to the public, its a hard job that will frustrate you at times, however being part of the development team is something I and everyone elese on the team finds extreemly rewarding. Also, you should be aware that you are testing a Work In Progress, and as a result it will be unfinished, unpolished and if you expect it to be comprable of any out of the box piece of software you may be somewhat disappointed.

We currently have a team of 5 testers, and the plan is to take on another 5 every fortnight until we have reached 25. The next intake is on the 30th.

//edit:
Screenshots! (Sorry for the poor image quality - was trying to keep image sizes down)










//edit hmm, thoes shots really dont do the game any justice. Too smaller res to see anything.

Hey Ian. I'll gladly test it out with Windows and Linux through Cedega.

Good luck finding testers. I'm far too busy with the own game
What kinda computer specs will the testers need?

Min specs are a Ti4200 or Radeon 7500 and a 2ghz CPU /w 512 MB of ram. That wont run well, but it will be playable.

Were keen for any system on or above that. We need to make sure theres no quirky issues with a certain video card or a certain make of card. Also, we need to benchmark the game to determine more accurate min specs.

3d work is being done by an estonian fella named foxer. If your friend is intrested, hes most welcome.
