Devoted beta testers needed!
« on: October 04, 2004, 02:36:36 PM »
Keto now needs dedicated, devoted beta testers. All of the content has been implemented, and audio is still coming in, but the game content is now in place.

What is required is playing BG2-SOA. Quite a bit. And making archive saves.

A careful eye is needed. Keto has a LOT of dialogue and it's always possible the wrong person got the wrong line, etc.

Rigorous testing of Keto's personal quest is also desired. This will involve stepping through a large branching conversation to get different results, then sitting through cutscenes which in the Beta 1 version are _assuredly_ not going to be timed well, taking notes, and suggesting improvements.

And if you're not a big fan of Keto but you ARE looking forward to Surayah and/or de'Arnise Romance, you'll still want to help! Why? Because the sooner Bons and I are done with Keto, the sooner we get back to to our respective "regular" projects!

PM or e-mail me if you're game.

 is 'make archive saves' just a fancy way of saying 'save in every AR and after every major plot point and make backup copies and compress them all in a nice little bundle'?
 'cos that's what i'm doin' til i hear diff'rent.

You don't have to make backup copies of the saves, but yes, I mean "use the Save Game button, not just relying solely on Quicksave."

Ooooh,ohhh....I wanna help (would give me an excuse to play through the whole game once again), but would this mean that you have to look through all branching possibilities of the conversation? (If so cool!  ;D).
When the world was young and the Gods walked it, this line was frequently heard.

Oooh Shinies!! (crashhhh!)
