"Religion Game" Alpha Testing

[Tiberius]

I need volunteers to be Alpha testers for a multiplayer browser based game I'm making.

Background:

https://atheistforums.org/thread-41785.html

First thing to note, the game is *not* complete, so most of the alpha testing is going to be slightly boring, basically "playing" the game and making sure that when you do an action, it works as expected. At the same time, I also want to people who can think outside the box and can actively hunt for bugs (i.e. what happens if you try to buy -1 of something?). Finally, I need people who can be constructive; if you don't think a certain game feature should work in a certain way, or you can think of a new feature, I want to know about it.

If you think you can dedicate some time, even if it's 10 minutes every day or so, let me know and I'll set you up an account. I'm working on the game several hours a week, so updates should be frequent.

All alpha testers (and beta testers) will be rewarded with in-game credit (which you'd ordinarily have to pay for) when the game finally launches.

I'm interested, though I have a couple of caveats that you might (or might not) dissolve.

1. will it be all right if I start on Friday when my current project is complete?
2. On the other thread, you mention a timer. I use a screen magnifier so only part of the screen is visible to me at one time. Will this timer penalize me for taking too long to do stuff?
3. You also mention thinking outside the box. what box? Never heard of one.

If we can get around these, count me in. If the good lord is willing and the creeks don't rise, that is.

1. That's absolutely fine. I expect alpha testing will last quite a while so it doesn't matter if you start today or next week, etc.

2. The timer is more of a countdown until something is usable again. For example, if you perform a skill, you can't perform the skill again for x minutes. There's no penalty for not doing anything.

Sounds like fun... what platforms will this use? Java, flash?

Can it be played on an android? I have a Galaxy S II tablet. My laptop is on the fritz right now.

Count me in! I hate bugs but love finding them

It's a native web app, as long as you have a web browser it will work. Should work on Android, though I don't think the theme is responsive yet, so it might be a bit cramped.

happy to test. I practically live on the pc after hours.

Well, I'd be willing to test it out on the tablet and let you know how it works. Of course, my laptop will work, it just gets really hot after an hour or so, so my playing time on it will be brief.

Now, Tiberius, my time is yours. Where do I need to go and what do I need to do?

Thanks everyone. For those who have signed up on the alpha testing forums, I have created you accounts on the game and PM'd you the login details on that forum.
