I have to apologise if I haven't had the time to beta test this yet, but this weekend is being as bad as it can, and it's not over yet :\ However, I promise that I will seriously test this starting from monday. I should be able to dedicate several hours to careful testings.
No. Since Hez said that the release is up to the beta testers, I just wanted to apologise if I will take more time than I expected. Hopefully the other beta testers are having more luck than me.
probably not, I feel like they were just getting free prereleases than actually testing it. I hadnt heard from some of them in months.
Hez: good to see some news man. I have been waiting for this since late last year. If you need an urgent beta tester to get back to you with an extensive bug-list within 24 hours then I am your man. PM over the download link and I will make it my mission. I really want to see this released. You are bound to get stellar feedback based on the herculean effort you have put into the game. Let me know.
I could test if for you and have the results back in a matter of days if you're that desperate for the reports on it. I have some free time for the next week or two so it shouldn't be a problem.
Really sorry about that... I know I've gotten some versions before. But if it makes you feel better, I don't have much time and I really never actually played them.. lol
I'm currently on a low-end xp laptop. If you want a tester for that hardware, I'd be glad to report what I can.
So far I'm on the 4th Zone with 36 bugs listed complete with pics. Is there any chance you could send me a version with a level select, as one of the bugs I found was that the save feature doesn't always like to save, and having to play through entire zones again to get back up to the one I was testing is becoming a bit of a pain.
Ah that will make this so much easier, I've been playing through each act over and over again, taking different routes, using different sprite sets just so I can try and pick out as many bugs as possible. Having to restart was becoming a pain though. I may have a full report in the next couple of days, and it's pretty extensive at the moment.
Hez: I'm guessing you did not choose me as a beta-tester due to not remembering me. I'm Sonic360 from Sfghq. Does that ring any bells? Would still love to beta-test the game for you Hez. I'm willing to write a bug-report as fast as you need. Please reconsider.
My preliminary report is finished, I think I clocked up 47 bugs but I was speeding through some bits. I'll send it across to you tomorrow and then go through it all again at a much slower pace and see if I can pick up any more.
Finally I had some time to check this out (seriously these days have been as bad as possible) so I just sent a preliminary report as well. Hez should be able to start fixing some bugs with Stephen's report and mine.
I too have done a complete run through of every zone, and have sent a bug report. Hez should have plenty to look at.
Well round 1 bug fixes should take me a day or two. Hopefully round 2 will be doable as well. By the looks of it, I may be able to get a release sometime in the next week or two. EDIT: Also, for future reference. Respawning with the amount of rings you had when you hit the star post, and shield and time etc isnt a bug, I did that on purpose. I figured it would be sweet to replicate everything you had achieved up to that point.
Well since Hez definitely does not want me to be a beta-tester (perhaps he has enough) I guess I'll just wait with the rest of the guys for the full-release. Any idea when Classic will likely drop?
That's an awesome idea. It makes you care that much more to make sure you don't get a game over and loose the loot. Speaking of game over, on a scale of 1-10, where would you put the game's difficulty?
