Title: Requesting a Multiplayer Test
Post by: action9000 on August 24, 2009, 09:41:17 AM

I'm looking to test a couple of ideas to fix multiplayer but I need a few people to join a game with me so I can test the network in normal conditions (playing with people from random locations).

If anyone is game for playtesting with me during any of the times in the poll, please post back and let me now!  The fate and future of the game depends on it! Muahahaha! :lol  :p .....or something.

Thanks everyone!

(quick reminder for myself: record the test once we get it going! :p)

I'm available on both the wednesday and the thursday, Tim. Not in north-american evenings though.

Someone else needs to record this one than me though. I don't have my computer with enough ram to both play and record the screen without a huge lag.

I have a new pc so can be available if I'm given advance notice. I assume it can run the game.

I'm getting my wisdoms removed tomorrow, so I may be a bit disoriented, but if I can sit upright I can participate. Don't expect any philosophical breakthroughs, though.

That's alright really.

What time would be best for you...?

Wish I could, but my life's too hectic right now.  I could promise to be on, but it'll be like a 50/50 chance of me actually being able to be there unless it's 10:00pm or later.  That's when I stop taking appointments most of the time.....but I have been known to have appointments up till midnight at times.

I can do any north american evenings, starting at like 4:30 EST. I know it's not on there, but I can do any time on the weekends.

I'm able to do Fridays from 2:45 PM (EST) to 9:30 PM and Saturdays from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM.

im free at around 7pm (GoF time) all this week, with friday and saturday being completely free. Im not sure how free i'll be after this sunday because i haven't looked at my work schedule yet.

Alrighty. I guess in that case I cannot be in there (north american evenings is way too late for me to be up).

That's okay though. I just want someone to film it instead of me :p

Maybe there can be 2 tests since folks are spread across different time zones and countries.   1 for the usa, canada, mexico, ect, 1 for europe, asia, africa.

I think one is enough since Action just wants to know how it works.

Next to that I'm the only european :p

Thanks for wanting to help though, kor :)

Yea, it was a pretty stupid idea of mine, nice of you not so say that though.

Well from the people who signed up here so far, yea....

The more people I can test with, the better, but it's true, I only need one test session.

Yes, it looks like a weekday evening is looking more appropriate for most people, understandably.  Any evening is fine with me so I'll look through this in more detail when I wake up (I've been up all night and I'm calling it bed time :p) and post back then!


Thanks for the input, everyone!

A small-scale test didn't quite go as well as hoped so I'll get back to you on this. :p
I just need to find time to develop something worth testing before I bring  people into it again. :)

I'll let everyone know, sorry!

I'm sorry, I work full time at my normal job and I just have been tired and have had no success with fixing the things I want to fix before I need a large multiplayer test.  I did a small test with Mumbling and found a lot of things I need to fix before trying again.

I'm going to lock this topic because it doesn't have much purpose anymore.

But... But...

What would you like me to do?  You're welcome to download the latest version and play with it with other members by organizing a game on your own time.  I just don't need a large test right now because I know what's going on.  I won't stop others from playing around with the releases that do exist. ;)

I'd just like to say:
My progress on developing this game is not part of any schedule in my life.  As a result, I can't really predict when things will be ready, nor can I promise any sort of regular updates.  I thought I needed a large multiplayer test.  Turns out I don't; I have enough other stuff to do after doing a 2-player test.  That's how it goes with projects as disorganized and random as this one, I'm sorry. :p
