Re: Malfador Website
I looked for the beta information, but then reread the page. It says to check back then (at the end of march) for entry signup.

Re: Malfador Website
Finding bugs and squashing them, so the initial release doesn't crash so much that a significant fraction of your income isn't scared away.

Re: Malfador Website
Aaahh, I see.
So you play and play until you find errors or it crashes and you report it.
Sounds fun.

Re: Malfador Website
Well, early in the beta phase it tends to be..not very fun.
"Ok, lets install it. Ok, that worked..lets play.
-click program icon-
CRASH!
Well, crap."

Re: Malfador Website
Its a lot of work and you never finish a game because of the updates that will most likely be put out by Malfador as the beta testing progresses.
The object of a beta (Not saying it is for this beta) is to play test it looking for whatever errors or what nots that might creep in. UI bugs, hang ups, errors, etc.
As many of us earily players can atest to, the dreaded RCE (Range Check Error) was the surge of many a games. Through beta testing the RCE was nicely retired. (Thank you)
