Anyone up for some Beta Testing?

Post by Seaular » Wed Oct 27, 2004 7:02 am

Hey guys, I was going to just have an open beta that just anyone could download but I've changed my mind. Does that mean that I think I'm a fancy-pants who thinks he can limit and restrict who tests his mod? Well, I do think I'm a fancy-pants but that's not the reason. While I do want everyone to play my mod eventually, I don't want someone to get the impression that this is a "polished" version of my mod and get turned off by any errors or balance issues they encounter. That makes sense, right?

So here's the deal. Anyone who wants to, either to actually help me with balance issues or just get a sneak preview of the mod, is welcome to play Beta Zero of the Underkill mod. All you have to do is let me know, either via email (Seaular@planetdiablo.com), PM here at the Keep, or just something in this thread that let's me know you're interested. Simple stew!

Anyone who is interested must keep a few things in mind. First of all, there are bound to be serious balance issues due to the changes in difficulty/skills/drop rates/gambling/and added items. I just have not had the willpower to properly mentally calculate damage formulas, nor do I have the time to go through the game by myself and test out various character/item builds. I do not expect the mod in it's current state to be a simple play-through, so if you're just looking for something for you and a few buddies to play together this is probably not a good idea, yet. (But it will be!)

Secondly, although I am very proud of how my mod has turned out, you should not be expecting it to be like one of the great total conversion mods loaded with great new features like Dark Alliance of Shadow Empires. Underkill is a more subtle add-on that hopefully plays similar to LOD but with added variation.

Ok, well my little post got a little carried away, so if anyone is just skipping to the bottom I'll give you a little summary: Anyone want to help beta test? Let me know if you do! ;)

To anyone who's interested I'll contact you with download information when I get a version uploaded that I'm happy with, which should be within the week. :)

I'm fairly certain the beta will be in direct txt, it seems to me that it will be easier to update in that form. And if any other modders were interested in how something was being done they would have access to the .txt files to see for themselves.

Exactly! :)

I don't expect anyone testing the mod to actually go through the txt files, but if anyone was wondering about what should and should not be happening they will be more than welcome to look through the files.
