Ara Fell Beta Test

Hey folks. Ara Fell's closed beta will begin soon, so anyone who's interested in becoming a tester should either leave a message here, or PM with your email address. The test will occur in at least 4 waves.

EDIT: A "wave" means this; Group A will get the beta first in Wave 1, test it, those issues will be fixed, then Group B will get that version to begin Wave 2. Group C will be Wave 3, Group D will be Wave 4.

Please only ask to beta test if you intend to be committed to playing the game from start to finish in a reasonably timely manner, and if you're willing to make detailed notes of any issues, concerns, bugs or otherwise.

Upon being accepted as a beta tester, you'll get an email providing you with instructions on how to acquire the Ara Fell beta and where and how to upload your notes.

For this beta, we'll be using a subversion client (I'd recommend Tortoise SVN to acquire and update the game, and Trello for taking notes. Don't worry about it if you're not comfortable with the use of one or both of these tools. I'll tell you exactly what you need to do.

If you have any questions or comment, feel free to leave them below, and I'll try to respond to everyone. As always, I greatly appreciate the community's support in my endeavor to make Ara Fell commercially viable, and I'm looking forward to having a chance to work with you guys again.

Thanks!

I'll help, though I can't promise I'll play through the game four times.
No, no, each wave only has to play the game once. I'll be doing the test in waves. So Group A tests, and when they're finished, we take that version and give it to Group B, and so on.

Anyway, thanks! I'll start collecting names of people to contact.
Man, I would SO love to be one of the beta testers for this thing, but the next couple of weeks for me are going to be pretty busy and I don’t think I’m going to get much time to do anything on here for a little while. Still, I wish everyone else that’s going to be a beta tester for this the best of luck (including Badluck himself)! Just make sure to have that handy notepad ready! And if you have a video capturing program, like FRAPS or CamStudio, that helps a lot too.
I'd like to volunteer as a Beta Tester. I'm not familiar with Trello or Tortoise, but I'm willing to learn. I usually keep organized notes for my own game via Notepad, so I'd like to contribute.
I'd definitely be interested in beta testing this game. I have some extra time since school is out for the holidays and I was a fan of the first Ara Fell.
