Forge: Chapter One - 1st beta-stage (Subscriptions closed)

[abisso]

So, time has almost come to enter the beta-stage for this long awaited demo.
I won't announce the exact date yet, but I believe it's a good idea to begin recruiting volunteers.

The following rules will be taken into consideration to choose the beta-testers:

1. Donors come first.
2. Members with a high post count come first.
3. First come, first served.

Don't forget being a beta-tester is a position of high responsibility, and not just a way to take a peek to the game before the official release. You're supposed to play with a notepad and a pen next to you all the time, writing down bugs, suggestions, typos, etc. and in such a way that they can be identified easily.

All the beta-testers will get proper credits, of course.

And after this warm up... get ready... set... go!

Subscriptions are open!

Sounds like a "work for free" job. (I want in!)

You know what you're risking when you say such things, don't you? 

[MPinillos]

I offer myself to be a betatester.

Hi, remember me?  I'm Robert Carlson, and I offered a few times to do proofreading, so I'd be more than happy to do beta-testing.

The only thing I love more than playing old LucasArts games is exploring every nook and cranny of old LucasArts games, and sometimes I've even broken them!

[abisso]

MPinillos, I could have sworn you'd offer, mate!

And of course I do remember you Robert. I hope you didn't forget what I told you by email some time ago: when the demo is out, there could be a place for you in the team, if you're still interested. But this is not the place to discuss this topic.

Since I am a newcomer and didn't contribute to the project anyhow yet, I don't hope much to be enrolled to the beta-testing. But keep me on mind if it suddenly happens for you to have a lack of testers. I love to criticize other's flaws and mistakes

[selmiak]

Since you are no longer on MSN all the time *sniff* I'll post here and as you probably expected I'm here for all the betatesting

[Wonkyth]

How's thing coming along?

[nerander]

I would love to beta test for you.  I'm particularly good with proof-reading (I'm an editor) and grew up on the Loom game (it's what interested me in music as a child).

[abisso]

Guys please be patient. Last month has been a tough one but betatesting will start as soon as possible.

Thanks to everyone that has enrolled for now, but I sincerely expected more people to be interested in this phase. Spread the word.

Hi, I would love to betatest the demo.

And I'm "Bounce" by the way, the first donor (2010-09-17)

Keep up the great work.

[Unai]

Oh! I almost missed this

I'll be more than happy to beta-test

Hi Abisso,

I've been following this project for awhile - I love old 90's adventure games, and of these, Loom is second only to The Longest Journey as my favourite. One of my oldest memories of using a computer is of puzzling my way through Loom with my Dad, who for some reason recieved a copy as part of a promotional deal. For awhile a few months back I was worried Forge would stall out, but I'm really excited to see how far along it's come. I've wanted to contribute for some time, but I don't know how to program and my artistic skills are pretty much nil. Beta-testing though, that I can do. I'm observant, articulate, and I'd love to participate in making Forge a fantastic reality. I've played a wide variety of adventure games, and I feel like I'm in a good position to explain why certain things would or wouldn't work for me. I'm also an English major and used to work as a proofreader - expect me to catch any typo that slips through.

Anyways, I hope you'll consider making me a part of the beta team, and either way I wish you best of luck with the project.
