QA is my thing; I know what to look for when beta testing.

My dad actually does this kind of thing as a living, as well as many other bits and bobs.

Will work for peanuts.

Yes, but in that topic, your opinion weighs more here because we believe you hold true to the spirit of Line rider and can give us ideas that improve the toy without it making it easier.

Spoiler:

That's not beta testing btw. :3

That's suggestions relating to game content, kevan.

But it also leads into beta testing, because if I put it in, it has to be tested right?

HG is right, you don't add features in beta, you do that in or before alpha.

I think that Quality Assurance (or QA) would work well as a title if this is alpha/ pre-alpha stuff that we're doing "beta testing" for.

well the testers won't add the features. They give their opinion on them and report bugs.

I'd like to test!

Never said testers added features.

^ they don't give the ideas either. The ideas are given by the public in that big fat sticky thread (though it appears I've thought of everything lol)

by Inukaza Wed Jan 04, 2012 1:36 am

So.

1. Testers are given revisions of LR.

2. We play to fine bugs, give comments said new features' functionality.

3. The (developers) use those comments to fine tune their stuff.

How is this so hard?

by Yobanjojoe Wed Jan 04, 2012 8:25 am

Testers play the game, and reports bugs and things they fidin't like nuff said.

No one has tested anything since this has been started. As soon when there is an audience, i'll release a beta for v3 and you guys can tell me what you think.

by Summoning Mon Jan 09, 2012 5:36 pm

I'd like to test.

by Helios Pavonine Tue Jan 10, 2012 2:50 pm

I'd like to test as well.

by Inukaza Tue Jan 10, 2012 5:20 pm

Just asking for a update regarding the progress in which nominations are preceding.

It's been a about a week and a half, so was just wondering if we will know who made it in anytime soon. (Or if that distinction will be publicly made).

everyone else is being lazy. I've been busy for a few days, told people to discuss & promote, come back and nobody has done anything. Stern but Fair

I'll promote a substantial amount of people in a couple days. promise. Then you can release stuff and stuff. And stuff.

I don't feel obliged to discuss what people to promote since I don't consider myself the best one at discussing who would be the best at beta-testing the game. Eep

by [senpai] kevans Thu Jan 12, 2012 6:21 pm

Okay.... Seeing that rabid wants us to discuss, these are more people I want in. Including Kram, inu, And Vermillion

Wolf Spirit
Pure
Darklight
GhostY
Helios pavonine
Kohuded
Jam

Any questions? There shouldn't be.

And I did consider EVERYONE who requested it, so it you are not on this list, "Tough titty said the kitty"

Make sure to include someone who does incredibly stupid things to Bosh.

I guess I'll ask to be a beta tester even though I could just get versions off of mhenr from msn

by **Sheldon** Fri Jan 13, 2012 5:41 pm

No beta test for me.

The people on the stream said that you, by name, would be the most likely LCC to abuse any new version that arises. I don't fully understand it, but whatever. Splash should get the beta if he asks for it even though he isn't LCC. There are some people that aren't LCC or elite that deserve it.

by **Sheldon** Fri Jan 13, 2012 8:45 pm

Isn't that a good thing? I would indeed find new tricks. You guys have no common sense.

by **SPL4SHZ0N3** Fri Jan 13, 2012 9:11 pm

hmm. abusing things, I'm quite good at that. :p I think I asked earlier if I could beta test also. but, I can understand if you don't want me to.

EDIT: hmm, it seems I have the pip now. lol

This is only in theory, but I believe that LCC is more likely to abuse these things is because if there is an a abusive feature is a beta, they won't get rid of it, then make a track using it, then load it up in a different version, making it look like skill.
