The flash game that I'm working on, "Why Am I Dead At Sea", is at a good point to start beta-testing, so I'm looking for people who would be able to help pitch in and find the horrendous bugs and glitches that I have inevitably scattered throughout my game. I posted this in the Collaboration forum because as this is a longer game that requires some patience and dedication to play through, I'm not looking for quick/short/one-time tests.
To sum the game up, you're dead (at sea). Your goal is to learn more about the inhabitants of the ship you're on, and subsequently possess them. By using them as proxies you can play detective for your own murder. The core of the gameplay is essentially character-matching, since each combination of people (the person you possessed and the one you decide to talk to) yields a unique conversation. Here's some media that could give you an idea of how the game looks and plays out:
Demonstration of possession, AI, and dialogue (GIF)
Sunset outside ship
The people you can possess
If you're feeling particularly awesome and want to help me out, please fill out the following (short!) application and email it to pmcgrath@peltastdesign.com : Beta tester application .
Of course, I know that as a tester you are providing me a valuable service, for free! Although hopefully early access to the game is some recompense in itself, beta testers will also have the following incentives:
- Free copy of the game when it is released, along with whatever key codes are relevant, based on how it is distributed (this is an obvious one)
- Recognition: All testers who contribute will be shown in the credits (also pretty obvious). Those who contribute substantially more will get extra recognition.
- I would also like to have monthly best-bug-find competitions, the reward for which is flexible. Nothing too crazy, but just as an extra thank you!
Thanks for reading and for your help!
