*Find a new beta tester to replace the one I lost...

Hello! =)

[Xeirxes]

I would like to test it. My MZX works perfectly, so don't hesitate!!! (PM ME NOW OR I KILL YOU.)

[RoSS]

*coughs* I'll just remind you that when I heard about you losing your bet-tester a WHILE back I begged. Just thought I'd mention I was LIGHTYEARS ahead of these guys in asking ^_^

[Torte]

Don't listen to these fools. They couldn't find a bug in windows 0.21 if so their lives were dependant on it. CHOOSE ME.
(J/K)
NMIAOW... Because i need to say it.

"NMIAOW" Not Meant In Any Obscene Way

That's true, it wasn't.

I'd love to beta-test, but can't.

Erm... Not Meant In Any Offensive Way, maybe?

[RoSS]

Obviously, that was the intention, but it doesn't make it right =P

[weasel]

Here's a guide for those who don't seem to understand.

NMIAOW - For situations where something can be taken in an obscene way like "Get a hold of yourself!" or "Nothing but balls...".
No offense - For things not meant in any offensive way.

[Risu2112]

NMIAOW is an embarrassment to acronyms. Such a phrase should never have needed to be compressed like this.

Now on to seriously considering people for beta testers..

[Xeirxes]

Don't forget to consider me. I'd LOVE to help.

[RoSS]

You can choose whomever you want, but I still think the choice is obviously... er... someone!

[Risu2112]

If any one's been looking for me I've not been around because my computer flipped out on me, can't even boot into safemode right now >_<

Hopefully this weekend I'll drag the system down to my friends house and get it fixed up, it's gonna need a format.. But there shouldn't be a problem recovering files from this hard drive before hand (such as SFmzx..)

Rargh.

[Ter13]

Well, the game looks awesome, if and when the problem is fixed, I'd like to see what I could do to help (I mean get my grubby little paws on a copy of this gem among games)... Anyway, good luck with this, I imagine this thing is going to make quite a splash whenever you decide to release it.

[Risu2112]

Well the computer's totaly busted, we spent about 20 hours working on it so far and finaly came to the conclusion that the motherboard was finaly shot, I'll be installing a new one in the next few days. All of SFmzx was safely backed up before our mulitiple formats, and I even did a little bit of work on the game on his computer.

I'm looking at the asustek P4P800, ~$115 hopefully that will give me a stable and affordable fix to the problem.

[Raistlin19]

Sorry to hear hear it. I wish you the best.

[weasel]

Asus motherboards have been pretty reliable in the past for me, so yeah, go ahead and buy it.

I suppose the warranty ran out right? You might want to order that motherboard from Newegg.com if $115 is the best you can find someplace else. I just looked up their cheapest P4 800mhz fsb motherboard. It's $70.

Too lazy to type it twice so here's the latest report LIVE from IRC.

<Kenwork> I'm gonna try and make a drastic change to the critical hit system in SFmzx..
<Kenwork> I want to sort of combine and update that computer and sensors systems
<Kenwork> and add in a critical slot for the missile launcher which currently does not take critical hits or effects
<Kenwork> Oh and after about 10 hours of testing 3 bugs were produced, 2 minor,one significant, and 0 fatal so far
<Kenwork> on one planet for some reason the cargo display doesn't show (easy fix)
<Kenwork> on another planet one of the lines of text doesn't clear properly (easy fix)
<Kenwork> and it was discovered that under extreme conditions of the planet engine (high techtonics rating) it is possible to pick up minerals multiple times (medium fix)

I'm really pleased so far with how well the game is standing up against some of the most vicious button mashing I've ever seen.

On an unrelated note, Ross: I was of course kidding.

[Exophase]

I don't want to beta test.

Me either, testing gets borring at an alarming rate. =(

[Xeirxes]

For those who haven't made the game, it is probably exciting to beta-test, however.

I guess it does, you already know everything in the game. What you need to do is just pick a beta tester already and send him the files.

I doubt the tester(s) will find too much though. Especially if 10 hours only produces 3 bugs.

OR SO YOU THINK! O_o

Gah, the demo isn't *finished* yet.. I'm not really sure that testing can be considered beta testing anyway. I'm going low budget intro/ending btw.

Good. Less I have to download over my unreliable connection. Are you still going with that story you told me about?

You're still looking at several megs btw. ^_^

Against a fading sky, dark, dense clouds churn and crack with thunder in the distance as Starflight MZX's release rapidly approaches. Will the storm subside before it even reaches us? Or will it come crashing down against MZXers like a hurricane? Only time, and the perserverence of KenOhki2112, will tell.

[KKairos]

Dude, this is going to be awesome. This game, if released, might actually get me to dig up MZX when it's GASP! not DoZ time...
