Title: Time for Testers!
Post by: mrfredman on March 08, 2011, 11:15:47 pm
Hey you! Yea, you! The one with the rocketman.

Do you enjoy playing Gang Garrison?

Do you have a thorough understanding of the intricacies of gameplay and class balance?

Do you have fun clearly documenting bugs and issues with as much detail as possible?

If this sounds like you, we want you to be a beta tester!

It looks like we might actually have something like a release at some point in the future, but before we can do that we need people to play our release candidates into the ground and make sure that all of the issues and bugs are ironed out so we can release it to the adoring public.


Here's how it works: If you want to be a beta tester, send me a PM telling me about your experience with Gang Garrison and why you think you would make a quality tester. Major bonuses in a tester are modding experience and the ability to host a server, it would also look really good if you could get a nomination/endorsement from a current beta tester or developer.

After I have a list of potential new testers, I'll review it with the current developers and beta testers and hopefully start getting back to people by this weekend.

What are you waiting for? Write up an application and send me a PM!

I wish I could say I'm leaking the beta and getting a successful unofficial beta testing group like last time, but unfortunately, I got nothing.

At that time there wasn't as much activity as now. We started making much faster progress recently, so we need more testers again.

Well I wouldn't mind being a beta tester, but it goes against my principles to ask other people for stuff. It makes me feel like a dirty pagan.

Personally, I think I'm not gonna sign up because I'm mostly just a forumgoer. And yeah, my gml skills...Let's not talk about them.

I can tryout, but I don't know if I should. I do occasionally play Gang Garrison 2, but I don't have a lot of GMK experience and I can't host a server. I'm not sure.  :z7:

What we need is devoted testers that

A. Won't KO their damn accounts like everyone else
B. Can relate to average (Read: Smarter than pubs, not necessarily worse than "pros" but can actually take into account how buffs and nerfs actually effect gameplay) players and give input based on that
C. Can host (One or two at least)

Another note, if you're just signing up to play the betas, you can just wait for me to leak the good ones a public beta to be released. It's not like there's anything special in the beta section anyway, I've watched it for almost three years with about 5 or 10 actual betas.

All the development is happening in a public repository anyway, so it's not as if the betas were a big secret. The deal with becoming a Beta Tester is this: You agree to play unfinished and buggy versions of the game and give the developers feedback on it, and in return the developers try to improve it based on your suggestions. So it's a position of status, because you have more influence on the development than the average forumgoer, but you have to earn that status by putting in work for testing and giving useful feedback.

Betas should come with a gmk, but I just realized that half my builds don't :z4:

Generally though, the Beta Tester's section is based around the disscussion of builds, and Feature Requests should be used for suggestions, but there's some overlap (like suggesting stuff for beta exclusive things.)

You're not supposed to post your mods in the Beta Section, as it's primarily for Developers to use, but in actuality, since it's a public repository you can do what you want...

Uh, I don't really see why the Beta Testing section should be for mods now just because our repository is publicly visible. Of course the beta testers are free to work with modders too if they wish, but last time I checked the Beta Testing section is meant for testing builds for upcoming official versions.
Title: Re: Time for Testers!
Post by: NAGN on March 10, 2011, 06:04:04 pm
I meant that if you wanted to mod the game to add features you could theoretically push using git like I did :P

But yes, he's right, mods should be in the mods section
Title: Re: Time for Testers!
Post by: Saniblues on March 10, 2011, 06:56:27 pm
There are rare cases when a developer asks you to post a mod in the beta section. Pretty much any other time is uncalled for, though.

Malpractice would make an excellent betatester. He's very interested in the future of Gang Garrison, a reliable member, and pleasant to be around. His GML skills are unparalleled by anyone else applying for the position. He'd be a valuable asset to any Game Maker development team.

Though slightly impatient, he means well. He does not want a thoughtless tag placed on his name like many others, but he shows true interest in the future of the game. I would be anxious, too, if I had not received word on something like this. Hell, the game's cool, and he wants to see the inner workings as they are being churned out! I don't blame 'im!

How about that for a vouch from a regular member?

I just brought in the first batch of new beta testers based on who applied. Welcome guys! I hope you are able to help us improve the game.

If you didn't make the cut your application was likely pretty weak but you are welcome to reapply. We will continue taking on new testers for the time being, so don't be discouraged if you didn't make the first batch.

how the fuck are you guys more qualified than i am

Don't be such a sourpuss.. be happy for those who made the cut and try again some other time (or at least don't squelch the happy moods of those who make the cut..)! Also, as for why I probably qualified.. I wrote an extremely long essay - about 2,000 words arranged into 8 paragraphs on the pros and cons of letting me in to Mr. Fredman, explaining how critical and detail oriented I am of every little thing.. maybe that had something to do with it? Also maybe the constant edits turned him off...? I read read and reread my application before I sent it in...

My burning devotion to this game is so great that I ragequitted when none of my shit got put in this game.

I can see that your very passionate for the game but I doubt that coming here and complaining on how your more qualified than other people is going to help your case.  If anything it makes you look like a child who is having a temper tantrum when things do not go your way.

I recommend being persistent and further listing your merits and how you can be valuable to the beta tester scene.  Keep in mind that MrFredman may not actually know who you are and he needs to know if he can trust you or not.  The best way to gain that trust is to have people who know you vouch for you and keep trying to list what you can bring to the table that can make you more appealing.

Hey you! Yea, you! The one with the rocketman. Oh, hello

Do you enjoy playing Gang Garrison? Very much, I have played this game for over a year and still love it.

Do you have a thorough understanding of the intricacies of gameplay and class balance? Yes, I do.

Do you have fun clearly documenting bugs and issues with as much detail as possible?
Sure, why not. I'd love to help out.

- Cannot host (Still trying, however)
- Cannot mod/code (I'm planning on learning though, damnit school, stop giving me so much work)
-? European (Can't really do much about this.)
+ I've played this game for a year and I am quite experienced
+ I really love this game and would absolutely love helping out with the testing, dedication is important to I guess
+ I can play well with almost any class
+ People could vouch for me (I hope)

Thanks, please consider.

Well I am just saying it's easy to become a beta tester (pretty much anyone gets taken, especially at these 'new beta tester times') and you don't really have to do anything to stay one (->some people haven't posted in like a year. just mentioned you since you talked like you were the prime example of someone who doesn't do shit.), since there are people who apparently asume it's some kind of special position which makes you superior.

I personally don't care about beta tester status as I expressed at the beginning of the thread. If the devs don't want my input for the betas then I am sure as hell not going to grovel before them to ask for the position.
Yes, I am aware that this sounds stupid
Title: Re: Time for Testers!
Post by: Meower on March 20, 2011, 12:24:01 pm
Well I wouldn't really say I don't do shit. I read the topics down there frequently. I don't post much because my opinion on balance and new features is biased due to the fact that I am a terrible player in general, I can't code or host, I tend to copy aspects of other games rather than coming up with new one and my influence is trivial at best.

Of course having more people helps with finding bugs, but when it comes to balance changes and stuff like that, it's basically herding cats until someone(aka rebel) takes charge of the situation.
The balance part is all matter of opinions. If a beta tester would be considered of biased ones, or just not being very user friendly, he can always be purged out of the list.

That aside, more people also mean more testers available for host's wacky schedules.

If you make me beta tester, I will be your best friend and give you the cookie out of my lunch ewey day
I'm pretty sure you'll never be Beta Tester ever.

Anyone who applys becomes a beta tester. even random people with like 2 posts or mentally inept (I won't be calling names, but a certain person with a metaknight avatar and a koopa guy)
iirc those were oldfags and the noob was a mapmaker and redo was a modmaker
how the fuck did that 7 year old kid get beta tester (metaknightrules)

I got Beta Tester status when I was a Full Member and it gave me 5 stars. Becoming a Beta Tester brings you up to 5 stars, no matter how many you had beforehand.

It's a usergroup that has access to another part of the board, I think that's more than just a title.

Yeah, no. Beta Testers have to be appointed by admins, if every Hero Member was a Beta Tester, we wouldn't have needed this thread.

Quick question. Although this should probably be a pm to someone. Does beta testing require being at a certain server at a certain time and being constantly online? Because real life, school, etc. Would impede that. Anyway, possibly gathering recommendations.

And I don't accept answer that says "Ask MedO please", since he told me to ask you.
To be quite frank we haven't had a beta test in a very long time

I'd vouch for you, but unfortunately we don't need beta testers as much as we did in 2.3 as we haven't had much active development which involve testing

So yeah. Maybe I'll just shut up.
