okeeee



well

thats not very fair

how r u supposed to make construvtive posts to aid in game development if EVERYONE else here is doing it?

Think of something nobody else has suggested, or enhance someone else's idea.

easier said than done my friend

Well i'm doing it all the time and so have STHedgehog and SonOfMogh. Sometimes, i suddenly have a idea floating in my head. Like quadrants, Stardate Counter and race specific games. All that kind of stuff is just done by thinking about options that should be in the game. You can also tell the others, what you think about the ideas they have posted, about what is good and bad, give suggestion, etc...

Anyone who can't criticise and think up new ideas would make a pretty lousy game tester.

as the others have stated, also as i said there can only be so many people for the beta testing, i don`t care about how many posts a person makes, it`s the contribution of fresh ideas, which are debated so we get a decent game. also it`s no good saying it`s not fair, membership of this site will more than likely exced afc botf, if everyone posts then should they all be testers? sorry but there can only be so many, some have the right already for not only ideas but for putting on many hours of work on races race chat system names and other things, so they should have the right to test. everyone else will go in a hat. this is the last word on this subject.

hmmm

i seee

i dont thnik ive ever run into that kind of mentality on any other forum

but to each their own


ill give that a shot

Sorry i signed up to soon played the first game and had a lot of fun, can help anything you need for bof2 will do learned dos when i was growing up so coding is not that unnatural. but if my help is all i can give that is fine. just got the internet about a month ago so i am not that up to date. not going to say i am a game master but like to help out. just tell me what to do. probely can't play the game anyway only p200 128ram getting a new computer in about a month.. can't wait

after making a few addtition contributional posts, and i think i fowllowed the directions lol

i volunteer to be a game tester


or wat if everyone could test it?

is there any hurdle for this?

This is what i understood from Jigglypuff and Gavin.

there will be a limit, because Gavin doesn't want to hear hundred of the same errors. He needs people that really have given a lot of time for this project, and also will do so for the beta.

that makes sense


i do have alot of time on my hands - no job no social life cuz all my firends moved away lol

and i have a pretty powerful computer that will no doubt run the beta and the demo, and eventually BOTFII without a problem

so, i have alot of time, and the computer to do it, and i also have years of game experience to call upon in finding any bugs within

and im here everyday as i have no life lol

so ill be here if called upon

DAMN, u need a pentium class. What are us AMDers gonna do. We wont be able to play..... NOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo. Life isnt worth living any more....



(if its pentium or above, than anyone with a speccy can plat it right )

i'd like to test the game and maybe do some more stuff, allready posted 140 minor pics to jigglypuff and made a few sujjestions in only a few days

also i was a member of rsa and rse in the botf olden days on msn zone with me helping out and writing out a tutorial for rsa with amazing

Just keep on posting, and doing things for this game and then i'm sure you will be invited to help testing the game. Although i've nothing to say about, who is in and who is out.

Please sir?, can i be a tester?

Basically gturfrey and jijjlypuff are going to pick the testers. Dont get upset if they dont pick you (I know where you live remember ) But seriously, its better to have a few people that report diffrent aspects, rather than hundreds reporting the same stuff.

Post ideas, comments on ideas, and any help you can give and let the gods of Birth of the Federation II decide.

they are NOT gods....there better than that! *puts best dress, wtf?, on to impress*

The initial run of beta testing should be done with a select group. How ever you should consider a larger group for final testing. It's the masses that are gonna find the truely hanneous bugs. That and a larger less personal group isn't going to be coy about telling you what is bad UI or graphics. On the sound front you should be able to find enough free stock sound bites online for your sound effects. Voice overs could be done by people here who have compression mics and a good voice for recording.

in the initial run, there will be a limited number of game testers. I don't know what will be decided for final testing, this depends on Gturfrey and Jigalypuff (they are the once that are leading this project ) The people that have done a lot of work and put in a lot of ideas, have shown to us all, that they will put in lots of time and effort, to look for bugs, but also for ideas that need to be changed. But i know that a lot of people are just to lazy to do anything I'm a dissapointed at the help we are receiving at the moment.

Hey, im willing to help, i just dont have much programming exp. Thats why i think i would be a good tester. Ive played the game to death, esp recently after I found this site. it sorta renewed the BOTF spark that was dying out inside me. So just so the programmers know, im willing to help, just ask. (I guess i need to do a few more posts to even be cosidered tho) Well i guess yu guys will be seeing more of my lovely Avatar around...

BTW, when do most of you guys get on the site, theres always alot of replies to posts, but im almost always the only member when i sign on. just wondering...

I see people saying that its the quality of the posts( good original ideas for te game) not quantity that will go into the consideration for testers. My prob is i joined the site kinda late compared to most, and i dont want to make a suggestion when odds are someone has already suggested it, or its already either been included in the game, or decided it wont be included in the game.

I want to be helpful, but i dont know how helpful id be when most of the coding for the game is already done...

Never fear...

Most of the good ideas are in the 'things we all agree on' thread in game request. Scan that then see if there's anything you'd like we've missed.

To be honest at the moment I get the impression the most valuble contributions are graphics, write ups, sounds. PM gavin or jig and see if they need anything doing. I'm writing out some race descriptions at mo, along with iwulff and omniQ, there are so many races that require these.

I'll contact them. do you need any help with any descriptions? ill lend a helping hand if i can.

Sure buddy, iwulff has a thread in game request about race pics, any that aren't up there need doing.

All day ofcourse, i never sleep.

I would love to be a tester too.... I have a ton of posts, all of which I believe are constructive and full of ideas.

I just have one question... why do all the dates read 11/21/04? even when I post a reply, it reads that date....

look at the post above lol. please note different date.

maybe it's something with my computer's configuration or something... but all the posting dates still read 11/21/04......... which is the date I joined this site...

o dear, you appear to be looking at the wrong date, when you post the date wil appear, when someone else posts then the date from that will supersede the previous one.

ha ok
