Title: Beta Testers wanted! Super-short mod! Free spot in the credits!
Post by: HLD_Prophecy on October 31, 2016, 04:48:24 pm: Hey all!

So I'm super-close to being done with my super-short mod! I'd really appreciate it if I could have a couple of beta testers. 2 - 3 should be good. It won't take much time to finish the campaign, so it's not a huge time commitment.

Beta testers get a mention in the credits, I promise!

If you're up for it, I'll PM you the dropbox link. The mod has not been packed up into a VP file yet, I'm waiting for release to do that. The mod's been built and tested in 3.7.4, NO SSE.

Thanks a bunch!

Well, there is two ways to do this, an open or a closed beta test.

In the open case, you put your link out there and wait for responses.
In the closed case, you only give it to your testers.

In my experience a closed test yields better results... but in any case patience is required.

Okay, then this is a closed test. I'd like things to be spoiler-free for the full release.

Well, all right, I'll take that risk. :p Thanks a bunch, will PM you the link now!

EDIT: Ah, never mind, you got back to me. I'm not sure why my sent messages aren't showing up.

Post by: Goober5000 on December 29, 2016, 11:33:36 pm: There is an option in your PM settings to configure whether messages get saved in your outbox or not. Make sure this hasn't been turned off.

(EDIT: Well, I unintentionally bumped the thread, but the advice is still appropriate. :))
