Twinkle Toes Skating - testers?

#1 by hanako - Jul 13 2008

Almost ready to release a small testing version of the game to a few people. This is a casual puzzle game, not a story game, and only the first few levels will be available for testing.

If you're interested, reply to this message or send a PM - further directions will be emailed if you're picked to test. I'm not sure exactly when tester versions will go out, but probably within the next week.

Testers will be sworn to secrecy! No public comments on what you see in the game, since it isn't done yet!

I'm interested in testing the game. I promise not to let out anything about it and i'll find as many bugs as possible (if you intend for testers to find bugs). This games sounds really interesting!

I already sent a PM about this with more info but might as well say it here, too. I'm interested in testing and of course, I won't say a word to anyone.

It's so exciting to see the game close to completion.

*raises hand*

I am really interested! Not only I finished my college exams last thursday (therefore I'm 100% free for the next two months), I can dedicate my whole time to beta-testing the game, if you're interested or course. ;) Personally I am REALLY interested.

I'll let you have my e-mail: [email address removed]. Feel free to contact me, I'll be crossing my fingers meanwhile.

I'd love to, but the old 8.5-5, a wife, and a kitten keep me too busy, but my wife on the other hand I work hard so she can be a home maker just for this sort of thing She works hard too, but she is like a machine and can get everything done rather quickly!

She's always looking for something to do while I'm at work so testing would help her have a task in her downtime.

*SNIP*

Thank you for this opportunity and your hard work Hanako.

Additionally: We don't have internet at home so don't worry about her divulging secrets. She's good about secrets anyway. Plus she's diligent so testing would be to her strength. She'd play it until it was bug free. Not that you game would have any bugs in it. ;) That would be more something suited to my code. Firmware...gotta code that stuff all day. And as much as I try to make it bug free there's still something stupid that I leave in there. :'(

I am also personally very interested to test this game too...

I'm pretty much free for the summer, and it'd be great to have something to do. I promise I won't give anything about the game away to anyone other than you, and I'll do my best to find any and every bug.

^^ I'm really excited to have such an opportunity, and to do something for Hanako Games. My email: [email address removed]

Thanks!

I'll test if it's okay... (Though I wasn't active for a long time, and I plan to be active now)

(Posting emails is only needed if they're different than the ones you signed up to the board with. I have admin powers, I can see everybody's emails!)

Actually yes, mine is different. If you're interested in contacting me you can use any of the two e-mails, I use both equally, it's just that the e-mail I just gave you on this thread is my msn mail in case you wish to add me.

#10 by Jinroh - Jul 15 2008

Yeah, sory Hanako I didn't realize which e-mail I had in my profile. The one there is better. Sorry about that.

#11 by hanako - Jul 16 2008

Mails are going out, check your spam folders in case they disappear into black holes.

#12 by Jinroh - Jul 16 2008

Thanks for all your Hard work Hanako. We'll do our best.

#13 by hikari_rekka - Jul 16 2008

Um.. The game's really fun(And challenging ^^), and you told us to send feedback an' stuff... But where do we send it? Do we PM or e-mail you? Or is there a special place to post it?

#14 by hanako - Jul 16 2008

Email! Can send as replies to the message I sent.

#15 by Sara - Jul 16 2008

Thank you, I just downloaded it. ;) I'll try to send an email before the end of the day.

#16 by hikari_rekka - Jul 16 2008

I see, thanks. Well, I'll keep that in mind when playing~

#17 by Jinroh - Jul 16 2008

Any deadline, on feedback?

I know it probably won't be a one day affair, but I'm just curious because I won't be able to get this to my wife until after work so...I'm tempted to get fired by playing Twinkle Toes Skating. ;)

#18 by hanako - Jul 16 2008

Well, this isn't expected to see release any time soon, so there's not really a deadline. On the other hand, feedback that takes more than a week is often out of date with current builds and less likely to be helpful.

Try not to get fired.

All right, that's what I was envisioning. Thank you Hanako, we will try and be as prompt as possible.

As far as getting fired...well...just between us, there's another company that offered me a job that I'm just drooling over. Their recruiter says I'm the #1 candidate so I've been on edge of my seat since I heard that. I'm just trying not to get too excited because I don't want to jinx it. ;)

Thanks again for all your hard work Hanako.

#20 by hikari_rekka - Jul 16 2008

Well, I haven't really seen any bugs or glitches so far on the limited version. And the three unlockables work well..

Hope this doesn't really give away anything or ruin the secrecy part..

#21 by Kinnison - Jul 17 2008

I wanted to try too, but is it only limited to those who frequent the forum or can new members test it along?

#22 by hanako - Jul 17 2008

Because of the seeeeeeeeeeekrit nature of things, probably no tester links for newbies at this point in time. Maybe later though.

#23 by Kinnison - Jul 18 2008

Oh, I don't mind if I couldn't beta test. Just asking
One of my friend referred me to this forum and told me about the game so I'm curious and visit the site immediately to take a look at the game info.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to see the game in action

Here we go again

#24 by hanako - Oct 1 2008

Second round! Anyone who hasn't tested want to have a go?

#25 by Ulin208 - Oct 2 2008

I haven't tested yet, and would like a go. I promise not to let anything slip.

#26 by Yuki - Oct 2 2008

Can I have a go, pretty please? I'm pretty good at beta testing; if it's possible to break a game, I'll find a way to do it.

#27 by Nada - Oct 9 2008

I'd like to test it!

#28 by liz4187 - Nov 24 2008

I'd like to test as well

#29 by aya_lyka - Nov 26 2008

#30 by J_Yum1978 - Nov 26 2008

I would love to test the game!! I love your games!!

#31 by hanako - Nov 26 2008

Sorry, that last request was a while back. Not looking for testers at the moment, it's in the hands of the publisher.
