Testing and Feedback - Obliviator27 - 09-04-2011
I've noticed that some people are eager to get their custom stories out there, but want a beta test first, which is completely understandable.
Some people simply want feedback on what they've done, which is also understandable. So what I've decided to do is offer myself for video feedback.
In a nutshell, it basically entails somebody sending me their Custom Story, which I play and record. This video is sent to the creator privately, so that they can get a glimpse of a player's reactions and tendencies in-game without doing a youtube video that could potentially provide spoilers. Also, I'll provide some feedback on the storyline, sentence and grammar structure, as well as noting any graphical errors (eg. clipping planes). However, I'm not going to go out of my way to find these. The intent will be to demonstrate what a player will likely do and encounter.
However, such a system requires some sort of rules.
All I request is a notification that I've finished. Whether that be from a credit screen rolling to a note simply saying "You're done. Stop playing." is to the author's discretion.
Hopefully I'll be able to give feedback that'll help, providing anybody bites.

Im currently not ready for such a project, but this was what i was looking for. As soon as i can find a respectable place to stop my custom story for a beta, i'll be sure to send you it.

Sounds like a good offer.
I can only agree with ZRPT1.

Well once you guys feel you're ready, I'll be more than happy to provide a video playthrough for you guys.

This... is a very good idea. In fact, I would like you to test what I have so far of my project as soon as possible. X3 (I haven't heard much from all but one of my beta testers in a while). I'll send you a PM with details, and thanks.

I'd be glad to give your project a shot. Just send me a PM with the link and details, and I'll get to work.
