Testers Needed...

[Dan Verssen]

Hello All,

We're putting together the official Matrix test team for Hornet Leader-PC. We need about a dozen motivated people to help.

A little bit about the what we need...

If you've played the tabletop and/or Vassal/PDF formats of the game, great. If you haven't, that's okay too. The most imporant thing we are looking for is motivated people who can play the game and post informal reports on a daily basis. Each mission takes about 15 minutes, so it will not be a huge time commitment to test a few missions each day.

The ability to play nice with others is also important. Everyone on the test team will be doing this on a volunteer basis because they like the game and want it to be a perfect as possible when it releases. This means everyone needs to always have a polite and professional attitude.

At this point, we are looking to find and eliminate any bugs, and make any minor adjustments needed. We are not looking to revamp the design or make major changes. We can certainly do that in the future, but for now, we are looking to perfect what we have. Example: One person on a forum suggested that we replace the Hornet images with the pilot logos on the Pilot Selection screen. That was a great idea.

To apply to be a tester, send me an email at: dverssen@aol.com

I will then forward all names and emails to Matrix. They make the final decision as to the who will be on the test team. They will then send out NDAs and other forms to be filled out. Once they receive the forms back, they'll activate your account to access the tester area.

When you email me, tell me about any past experience you have with Hornet Leader, tabletop games, and turn-based strategy games on the computer. Also note how often you will be able to play and post findings.

Thank you!
-Dan

Ooooh, if I didn't have 11 million things on my plate already, I'd be all over this. Good luck with the testing cycles to you; I'm looking forward to this!

Terminus,
 
You know, percentage-wise, the difference between 11,000,000 and 11,000,001 is pretty small.  [:)]

I missed this announcement so if you guys have any further testers needed let me know.

I have more free time than I've had in a good 15 years and I could use a little busy work. I have beta experience in a couple different genres.
