Testing Space Quest II and King's Quest III for Infamous Adventures

Klitos · October 25, 2011, 08:42:43 AM

Infamous Adventures are looking for people to try and break our games!

We've got two games to get bug free. Our remake of Space Quest II is almost done, we're finished graphically, we're finished scripting, we're done with the music and SFX, we've even finished the voice pack! We just need to test it and make sure it doesn't crash or stupid things don't happen. It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it!

And our latest release of our King's Quest III remake is nearly as done as SQ2. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it's more complete and less buggy than our original release back in 2006! We've upgraded the graphics, pulled the game into a newer version of AGS and basically tweaked it so it rocks even harder. But with any changes, errors and problems arise.

To get these games out and released we need help! We need people willing to play these games over and over, try everything possible to break them, and then report to us exactly how they broke it. We went to know everything, game crashes, graphical glitches, even suggestions for improvements.

The only thing we ask is that you actually TEST the game and report the bugs to us. What we need are people who are dedicated, are ready to playtest and are able to make sensible reports. What we don't need are people who just want to play the game early. It's not about getting the game early, it's about getting it early and buggy and telling us what the bugs are so we can squash the crap out of them! And we don't need people to solely nitpick our grammar.

Infamous Adventures is a great group, we have a lot of fun! And we want you to join us and help make our games better!

To apply, send an email to testing.infamous@gmail.com with the subject heading "Play Testing Your Awesome Games" or something similar. Let us know if you have any experience playtesting software (either fan games or commercial), why you would like to playtest for us and your best joke.

Thanks and I hope to see you around IA soon!

What Klitos said.

We cut loose all our old beta testers because they didn't do s***. We now have exactly ZERO beta testers who aren't on the team.

If you are full of s***, don't bother applying. Thanks.

Plus, you get to work with me. I'm fun and exciting!

I would SO love to do this! Unfortunately, I barely have time for TSL testing. Besides, I don't have any good jokes.

Where were you guys when I was jobless last month?

Best of luck to you.

I'm full of spit!!

Wohoo! No more work! No more work!!

Lambonius · October 25, 2011, 01:08:48 PM

I'm feeling grumpy today.

Cez · October 25, 2011, 04:33:21 PM

You probably have already, but posting on game developing sites with job boards helps a lot --the Gamasutra type of site. There's a lot of jobless people with tons of free time in their hands visiting those sites

Good luck! Can't wait for those releases! Hope you find some kick ass testers soon!

MusicallyInspired · October 25, 2011, 08:38:20 PM

I'll do it!

wait...

This, only three months ago. Good luck; wish I could help.

What if one has no experience test a game? Would you still consider them?

Lambonius · October 30, 2011, 09:40:19 AM

If you have the time and diligence to repeatedly go through the game and try to break things, then yeah, definitely apply. We're about to cut loose several testers from the first wave who haven't yet contributed anything, so we'll be looking for others to take their places.

I would apply, but like Snabbot, I barely have time to test TSL because of my two jobs. I'm spread pretty thin. In any event, I can't wait for both releases! I'm totally stoked!

Sslaxx · November 08, 2011, 09:17:18 AM

Sticking with Space Quest, Vohaul Strikes Back is also looking for beta testers.

snabbott · November 08, 2011, 12:32:50 PM

Ohhh... so much testing, so little time!

We're expecting a baby in about a month, so soon there will be even less time.

Datadog · November 09, 2011, 11:35:27 AM

Would it be overkill to mention that's there a THIRD full-length Space Quest game also seeking beta-testers?

Nah, I'll let SQ2+ and VSB have first dibs.

snabbott · November 09, 2011, 12:05:15 PM

I've been looking forward to that one for a while!

The Hero · November 09, 2011, 03:20:15 PM

I applied no one replayed back?

Same for me, I think they're just full at the moment.

The Hero · November 09, 2011, 07:51:53 PM

I know IA is very busy with work and life and these games but if you are so egar for testers or even if your full up a freindly thanks for apply would be nice even if it where a auto reply it would make users feel more valued as it would be a simple acknowledgement of the users mail
