TDS'S PROFILE

I am looking for testers to finish a short game I entered in a competition. The engine itself is done, but there are a few stages that require testing from people who haven't already played the same stage 50 times.

What kind of game is it?

The game is mix of various types of games, but it boils down to matching correct
classes to defeat your opponent. Like a "Magian (Mage)" will always defeat an "Amorph (Slime)".

Sounds pretty simple. Why do you need testers for it?

I've essentially played the game to the point where I takes me 2 seconds to set a perfect line against the opponent and because I made it I tend to exploit every weakness there is. At this point I either find a tester or keep going and release a version of the game unplayable to almost everyone.

Oh... So what does the game look like?

Here are a couple of screenshots.



And here is a video of the game in action. Sorry about the quality.



Neat, I'm in! Is there anything else I should know?

I'll be honest. Testing is a mind numbing process that is not for everyone. Sure you might think the game looks pretty in some form, but that is not going to be enough to test it for long periods of time. To test a game like this you really have to enjoy numbers and repetitive mind numbing actions.

So if you think you might enjoy that and a game like the one I'm making let me know by either sending me a PM or posting here. A dropbox account or Skype is a plus to speed up testing.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day.

Are you going to release the battle system for use in other projects, or is it too precious to share? :)

I've been getting this question a lot in PM's and the answer is always the same, no.

Not because it's "too precious" to share, but because I have no need to document the scripts I use and thus the battle system would be useless unless you're a scripter and could figure out how to use it on your own and by that point you would probably be more than capable of making it yourself if you wanted to.

And why don't I just document it and release it you may be asking? Because documenting and testing a battle system for public use is a lot of work and I simply do not have that kind of time to release a battle system and keep updating it as time goes on and I do not want to just release a broken system, I've made that mistake before and I would prefer to never make it again.

Hopefully that answers your question and if you're looking for a battle system there are plenty of pretty good ones out there and you can see a comparative list here made by Yami.

Have a nice day.

That particular image isn't scary, but the first time I saw a titan on the show, I did react with some very wide eyes.

I don't think the image was meant to be scary since most of the Titans are not really scary, they're just odd looking.
