Hey guys, as you may or may not know I'm currently working on my platform game Bonesaw: The Game. Right now I have a few testers that have been playing the game as I create it, but I feel like I'm getting to the point where I need one or two more people on board to point out bugs and other gameplay problems and experiences.
I'm about halfway through level development at this point, and I want to get any potential engine bugs ironed out before I have a billion frames that I have to copy and paste fixes throughout. (Damn you global events and qualifiers. Cant you just get along?)
I have one beta tester who actually records his play throughs of levels with a desktop recording program, and this is especially helpful to me because I can see how he plays and exactly how he reacts to certain gameplay elements. Its loads better than just getting a few instant messages about the latest additions. This would be ideal for a tester, but I suppose its not a requirement.
So basically what I'm looking for is one or maybe more testers that can keep up with development and play each new build as it comes out, and report any bugs and other stuff as they go. Typical beta tester stuff. I'd also be trusting you to not publicly release or distribute any builds of the game that I give you, as that would ruin the fun of the final release ;(
If anyone can help me out, please let me know! I know a lot of you guys are over in the UK and what not and MSN messenger seems to be the dominant communication system over there, so that might be a small problem. I use AIM primarily, so if you have an AIM screen name that would be favorable ;D
Thanks!

I have an MSN and AIM account and the AIM protocol is a lot more stable than the MSN protocol. Also, the Direct Connect feature rocks.
I'll beta test, add DaVince021 to your buddy list. I have previous beta testing experience and will use screen recording software to make things easier for you.

Betatesting is fun, you can add mmbalfazar if you want.

Peblo, I added you to my buddy list-- next time you're online I'll contact you.
I'm going to hold off on any more for now, development is going to slow down a lot in August because I'll be away for two weeks and also moving back and forth between college and home two times :I After that I may recruit some more =D
