MR2 Open Beta Details

Posted by revolverroach - July 2nd, 2012


So this week I'll be putting the game on beta mode. I have to study the NG project system a bit so expect the beta to release tomorrow evening (July 3). I've got a list of people who want to beta test. Send me a PM if you want to join up. I'll check every evening so please don't spam if I don't reply immediately.

What to expect in the Beta
- LIMITED GAMEPLAY. The priority of this beta is to catch bugs. The beta will have specific chunks from the game and the goal of the testers is to BREAK IT. Limiting the beta allows me to find the bugs more easily.
- MULTIPLE UPDATES. As the beta progresses I will put changes, additional scenarios for testing, and probably remove old ones too. Again, limiting the scenarios is to help my bug fixing. These updates will come every other day (T, TH, S)
- NO SPOILERS (MOSTLY). Obviously I want to keep some elements as a surprise for the final launch of the game so I'll try my best to keep the beta spoiler free. However, I will have to reveal some mechanics because obviously I want them to be tested.
- OLD ART ASSETS. Most of the art/graphics will be from MR1 and is not representative of the final game. I'm doing this on purpose to, again, minimize spoilers. Besides, the beta focus will be on GAMEPLAY.
- FEEDBACK. Can't fix something if I don't know it's broken. The beta client will generate reports which users can copy-paste, then email to me. Not the most elegant solution, but it's simple.

This'll be the first time I'll run a public beta so I expect hitches along the way. Recommendations are appreciated. We'll figure it out as we go!

How will the beta be? Hrm, likely buggy, some minor (and not-so-minor) issues here 'n' there, oh, and Demented Zombie Clowns of Doom! (Like Tricky)

Oh my God, I've been waiting for this frickin' sequel for so long and it's almost there! I won't be able to sleep, and I can't concentrate on piano and I'm having a nervous breakdown GOD I CAN"T WAIT ANY LONGER! JK I can wait a day.

oh didnt see july 3 and id be glad to help with the beta test so teh game will be better when its fully released

Sweet i will so test this game so hard

To break it? Hahaha. I remember as a kid I LOVED breaking even final games that were already "finished". I still love breaking games too. I remember I broke the hell out of pokemon gold and silver by mysself using the trade cables. It was sooo fun. Good times.
