JB2003 beta testing

[Corran]

I guess you may be getting quite close to a beta version of JB2003 by now. And I was wondering, how are you going to go about beta testing it? Is it going to be done entirely by the team, or are community members going to be chosen, or will we be able to sign up?

If I remember correctly for JB]I[ you had a signupable beta test. Just wondering what you're planning.

 

[Trueblood]

I think testing is already being done dude....probably missed it

 

[Mychaeel]

Since I'm pretty strict in defining "beta" as "feature-complete," we're still in alpha stage currently -- but testing is indeed already being done on the current alpha versions (and everybody's busy fixing bugs).

I guess we'll announce the start of beta testing when the time comes.

 

[Corran]

Yeah, I knew you were still in alpha. Thanks for the info.

 

[Katana]

Damn, Mych, you really are alive
Do you need to know UScript or anything like that to be able to beta test?

 

[RevBillyG]

Do you need to know UScript or anything like that to be able to beta test?

No, you just need a good eye for finding errors and patience.

As Mychaeel said, we're still in alpha stage at the moment so none of the maps we have done could be considered finished. We're still adding features as they are coded.

Ooo OOoo !

 

[Birelli]

you left out the "and patience" part Trueblood, that's really the more important of the two

 

[VernerVK]

No, you just need a good eye for finding errors and patience.

In that case I volunteer to become a betatester. Among the games which I have betatested are Dominion, Runescape and Atari's Horizons. While they're not FPS games, being a betatester for said games taught me to have a good eye for finding errors.

I'll be a betatester if anyone wants me to, I tend to find errors in everything these days and also have so much spare time that I have resorted to making an Instant Messaging program in Java :-/
Also, I have UT2003, which I imagine helps
