Beta The Fairy Tale REVAMPED
The Fairy Tale REVAMPED is an RPG game for Windows and Mac. The game has now come to the point where I need people to try the stuff no developer ever thinks of.
If you are on either Mac (Mountain Lion or later, preferably El Capitan or Sierra) or on Windows (either windows 7 or 10), and a computer that is not too slow for today’s standards, able to support at least 800x600 pixels on screen, we’re cool ;)
What is expected of you?
Well, the basic deal. Just play the game, as you would do with any RPG game, and try out anything that comes to mind and see if it works. If you think you can crash the game on purpose, try it and let me know if you succeeded. :P
Make a note of all bugs and report them to me.
If you find stuff that are not strictly bugs, note them too, as undesireable behavior needs to be taken note of too ;)
Access
When you get access to if you are accepted as a beta tester is the full version of the game, before others see it. It goes without saying you’ll be exposed to the content that is until the full version is released to the audience most of the content you’ll see is very very very secret. :P (that is everything that is not part of the prologue or chapter 1). I guess you understand you are supposed to keep this secret until the game has been released and until that time not even working with “>!” in public to discuss this is permitted. Stuff that is purely technical… hey no prob :)
All beta testers will also get an invite for my discord server where I have a channel dedicated to the project.
Once the bugs you report to me are all taken care of, well, then the project will be fully released to the rest of us :)
Bug reporting
I prefer bugs to be reported on my github issue tracker. If you don’t want to create an account on Github you can also use my discord channel, the GJ Private chat or the comment section of one of the CLOSED-BETA devlog entries, and I’ll copy it to the issue tracker. Of course, since you don’t need a github account to check which issues are known to me, please check this issue tracker to see if any bugs or “bad behavior” you see hasn’t been reported already.
Since the game is for most part written in Lua, and thus platform independent, most bugs affect all supported platforms in the same manner, however, still I need to know what OS you use, as even in Lua some OS specific bugs can happen. ;)
One last note
This is a “no budget” project, meaning no money is involved in the project in any way, so I’m afraid this will be a volunteer job. You will however be credited for your trouble on the credits page.
If you are interested
Please throw me a friend request if you are interested so I can send you the invitation to the discord channel and the code for access to the private beta version. Please be wise and DO NOT PUT YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS ON THIS PUBLIC FORUM! If you want to entrust me your e-mail address do so in private chat.
If you have a discord account already and if you have access to the Game Jolt server there, you can also look me up there and throw me a private message. On discord you don’t need to “befriend” me first.
See ya soon, folks!
