Hi;

i see you
see you in need of more rts variety .. willing to work hours as a "dev or as a tester"? willing to have FUN ? and then go out to convince people that they could be having fun too?

Then this thread is for you both,to get together here by posting as a dev or as a playtester !

Ready to serve !
(inserrt warcraft worker cue sound here)

ok so as a dev :

i go on arcade english chat with my map ready to go

i have complete sentences at the ready to copy paste the info required to answer swiftly the faq

and i type [lobby] in chat to link it

and start yaping

yes lobbying requires poise and gusto

and then you get peeps and pipettes going in yourr lobby
and then the hell starts because you are trying to both multitask messages to both people waiting in the chat and people in channels discussing stuff
wait or go when or how [insert formal explanation pending]

Lobbying is low key hardcore networking or chill fresh experience but need to be johnny on the queue!

Then you try to convince to just open the map and experience it
not try to win or anything just visiting the map
(best would be for testers to open the map in the map editor too)

Then once all questions /. stuff has been clearly spelled out
then u can "all" rejoin and try it for real

say t"hank you" often, testers like zat ..
then the hard part comes

"what is the objective of that ?"
"couldn't it be better if then what and how"

yes yes then it is harder, it only ever gets harder
but everyone's a critic. and stuff

good luck to us all

...

ps : i + Show Spoiler +

need playtesters to do their thing on ALL new potencialy awesome games including mine yes yes

Yellow again

saturday the 23rd of october 3 pm
i am setting up a week end of testing :
i am looking for curious people to just fill up my game (for bug test / limits of what sc2 can handle)

So me +3 rts enthousiasts at a time
(whatever their LEVEL of micro/ladder/macro/analysis skills/having fun ability)
Disclaimer : the only hitch is speaking english i guess, so "everyone" can get all the info

+ Show Spoiler +

i will be answering any and all questions about the map and its workings
(and restarting it after the 2/3 minutes of "showcasing how hardcore it is at the start")
then
i will be playing it out (still answering any questions obviously)

i will be playing for a group win (*) and then backstab everyone to win alone against whoever is left (**)

and debriefing with anyone interested

then rince and repeat
you can join on sc2 europe (arcade english channel)

rts hype !!!

ps : NEMROD's thread on team liquid

Disclaimer 2 : this is a hardcore rts / it can be played at slowest speed and still be too much for you / possible going crazy .. so beware please and save yourself i guess if that is not your cup of tea / glhf all

(*) to follow the script/scenario of the map JUST at the start / testing #
(**) to follow the script
AND see how people react to the very core o the changing alliances through an even frantic late game

+ Show Spoiler +

rts hype !!!

Results :
i got 4/5 games / we at 11 pm
