Call for DEFCON beta testers

[xander]

Signed up as well now...

... did anybody past the first wave of selected beta testers actually got selected again? Like 2 weeks ago or so?
Just wondering if introversion even selects people applying 3 month after the call.
Well... hoping... ;)

It is quite probable that IV will keep selecting people every one in a while until the game is done being tested. So, while you are a bit late, you still have a chance, I suppose.

Good night

Applied - hope they're looking for mac testers

Keeping my fingers crossed now...

They're not.

Yet.

[eruditorum]

They're not.

Yet.

And that's why I applied now - ahead of the rush

As there still is a chance to be added to the beta-test, just a quick question:
I have got 3 Pcs, one of them Dual-Boot Windows/Linux. As applying several times overwrites the previous apply, which of the possible 4 systems should I use?

[Babylon5]

You should use the Windows boot. As Defcon is only available for Windows right now.

Yeah, but if my understanding is correct, it is unlikely that too many more Windows testers will be needed (though you could always hope). I would sign up with a Linux box, myself, on the theory that when the Linux version is nearly done, Linux testers will be needed. It means that you have to wait longer to "play" the game, but if you are supposed to be testing, the point is not to have fun :)

So when defcom first comes out will it even work on a mac?

No. Right now, the Windows version of Defcon is being tested. Beta testing for the Mac and Linux versions has not even begun yet. Based on the Darwinia release, I would imagine that Mac Defcon is at least two, probably three or four, months away, assuming that the first betas began tomorrow. As Defcon is not quite as complicated a game (I think -- I could be wrong), it is possible that testing will go much faster than Darwinia, which would/could significantly reduce that time estimate.

Ok sweet, and basiclly what does it take to be a beta tester?

[Babylon5]

Post bugs you've found, play the game, and have fun =)

Exactly!
Of course you need to sign up first....but I doubt they will add any testers for the windows version.

...I hope you haven't really been doing them in that order... ;D

Oh, fuck...
