[Pandara_RA!]

Pandara_RA!'s Testing Center


Intro!
Been lurking for some time, and I decided I should give back to the community as I have pillaged it for hours of fun by providing intense live feedback, hardcore testing time sinking, and even live video of it all unfolding if wanted.


What I will provide/willing to do after acceptance:
1. A reasonable amount of gameplay time...if I enjoy your game/you who knows how much though!
2. Voice chat/text regarding feelings/thoughts
3. Live Voice chat while playing the game.
4. Live Video While playing (not promised for everyone of course!). (a rare look into how your game forcefully causes emotional reaction...great for horror/emotionally driven games)
5. Now I can also do a private game play stream in perfect 1920x1200 capture res into 1080p youtube with voice and webcam!
6. Currently doing the series Let's Test! where I do stream on conscience testing hopefully giving a ton of information and uploading them to youtube in HD.


Let's Test!:
I can be found at https://www.youtube.com/PandaraProductions. If you want your game tested in this way feel free to message me. I also will only make the video public if you say it's okay, in respect for the work you put forth, so dont be shy. =]
The live testing series so far:

This guy really works! He played all the levels in my game and gave me really helpful suggestions! I would recommend trying him, but not until he is done with my game.

Was really cool to work with you, was fun the whole time. Really glad you got something out of it too!

I don't have skype, can I send you my game via this forum?

[Pandara_RA!]

I'll feedback any game...this is a thread for more intimate feedback from me though =] just post your game in it's own thread and I'll be sure to play it out and give text feedback. go ahead leave me a link here to your game and I'll be sure to feedback it

[Netsu]

Hey, I don't use Skype but it would be great if you could test our game and see if you have any suggestions/find any new bugs.
Here is the topic: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=23043.0
Hope you'll like it We could try arranging a match over the net if you'd like.

This guy is awesome, he has played through my game 8 times and provided tons of feedback and suggestions, pure treasure

Yes I did try classic mode! I thought the focus was adventure with that as like a bonus thing hehe, off I go to give feed back on that too! lol  

ty ty for the feedback on me too!

As for the rest of the games...off I go!

PS: I'm sorry I was away for a bit, had some computer problems I had to RMA for, got my parts in now and will be around again

[Azure Lazuline]

Just wanted to say that Pandara is a great guy AND a great game tester. Recommended for chatting, hugging, and testing, possibly all at once.

[beto]

Pandara_RA! is a hero tester!
Man, I was just amazed yesterday when I found out that he recorded a play session on surprise (I'll start watching it after this reply)!

He's very careful when explaining things and takes the time to test the game thoroughly!

Qasir's credits will definetly highlight him!

[PompiPompi]

Where is your youtube channel with all the cool videos? :D

I just started giving feedback on them and made all the videos unlisted for now, my youtube channel is

All the videos are hidden in case any devs are sensitive about that sorta thing, but currently there are two Let's Test! videos

Oh, I forgot to say!
Qasir's Let's Test can be published normally, we don't care about being seen =)
(just some links would be welcome in case people would like to know more about the game)

Actually we think that as many people get to know our game it's better o/

It's just not an open beta so that things won't run out of control for me, and I think it's better to have people testing continuously.

Hi Pandara. Is it okay if you test my game, Adventure Cat, when you have the time? It is still in alpha, so the game has no ending yet, but most of the game mechanics should be functional at this point.

http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=23736.0

Also, I don't mind if you post a public video. Let me know what you want in return, or how I can help your end.

Yeah I'll actually be doing the playthrough as soon as I finish eating my breakfast of a giant Jicama

[helgravis]

OMG, thanks for all the feedback! You're like my hero now!

[Netsu]

This guy gives great in-depth feedback, tests every last little bit of your game and even played with me over the internet regardless of the horrid ping times Thanks a lot and looking forward to playing again some time!

Hi, I would like you playtest my game. My main issues is currently gameplay balance. Units abilities and strength\stats.
The main menu was made very quickly for instance and is temporary, but you might have good comments on that too.
The thing is, this is a 2 players game (1vs1), and you can only play against a human player. So either a local game or an online game.
I would love to play against you, please PM so we can arrange a match(if you want).
You can find more info about my game over here: http://www.indiedb.com/games/fatal-wars-2/news/private-alphasort-of
The latest alpha is 2012.02.11 though.
To download the latest alpha go to: http://www.pompipompi.net/
And use the password: 982734987

You can try and use the MetaServer to find matchs online. That's the easiest way to do it. The problem is that the Meta Server is offline sometimes.
You can also join and host a game without a meta server. So that might be an option too. Also if you want to host, you need to port forward according to this forum post:
http://www.indiedb.com/games/fatal-wars-2/forum/thread/sumerian-blood-alpha-20120105

And lastely, if you don't want to test my game that's also fine. Thank you anwyay.
