Hello all,
I am looking for two or three beta-testers for Awakening, the mini-campaign I'm currently designing. These chosen few will have the chance to play through the missions and look through them in FRED, and give me feedback on difficulty, gameplay, and storyline (although with less emphasis on that last one), as well as feedback on technical issues like mission breaking things etc. I will give them outlines on the story and how it will progress so they are fully informed. The mini-campaign is planned to be either four or five missions, of which two are in the finishing stages.

Of course I expect that any volunteers agree not to disclose details of the campaign (be it plot, gameplay, or technical stuff) to anyone before release. Now I'm not going to get too picky, as beggars can't be choosers, but volunteers should obviously be quite familiar with FS1 and 2's plot and gameplay, and preferably have some FRED experience so that they are able to give feedback on FRED-related things, as well as the time and commitment on their hands to see this through. Volunteer via this thread if you're interested. I will send PMs to those I think suitable. I will not reply via this thread.

NOTE: Progress on this mini-campaign may be sporadic at times as I am in my final year of high school, but I will not abandon the project and do intend to get it done before the end of October. I will maintain constant contact with beta testers via PM and email.

Thanks,
CommanderDJ

Well, I have some free time these days. Count me in.
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

666maslo666: Releasing a finished product is not a good thing! It is a modern fad.

Just a few modified table files, nothing major. Testers will have to download one VP file. This file includes a few models and weapons, as well as tables.

Sorry, disregard my last post, I was completely out of it when I posted that. Still just one VP, but there are a few models and weapons in there as well as the tables.

You might want to consider renaming this as there is an extremely well known FS1 campaign by the name of "Awakenings." :v: included many of their missions in the Silent Threat standalone mission pack.

Maybe "The Awakening"?

Anyway, if it's only a few models and tables to test for balance and to give short feedback, sure, I'll give it a go.
