Hello everyone, the time has come. I am currently looking for beta testers for my 3D cartoon point & click adventure "Wormventures - Barrier 51" on Windows and Linux systems. This beta test is an important step towards completing this project, which has now been going on for over nine years, and represents the last step required to publish this game. Anyone who contacts me about this must be aware that beta testing involves a lot of work and (comparatively) little fun. Especially since this game is quite extensive by "today's standards". We are talking about a playing time of six and a half hours for completing the game using a walkthrough, without doing a single optional action such as looking at something, trying something out, etc. and running around with a double click the whole time. When trying out all possible (and impossible) actions, listening to all dialogues and collecting all clues to get on the right track without a walkthrough, this time quickly multiplies. You also have to factor in the time it takes to write down any errors you find, possibly edit videos, provide screenshots and communicate with the crazy developer to sort things out (I think that's the worst part, good thing I don't have to do that, ha!). Beta testing is time-consuming and exhausting and I can't even offer you anything in return, except of course the full version of the game (or maybe several) and a place in the credits under "Quality Assurance" when it finally is released. The beta test would take place via Steam, so you would need a Steam account. I would be happy to email anyone interested with more details and access to a beta Kanban board. So, if I haven't put you off and you want to help me and support the project, you are invited to take part in the beta test. You can do so via PM or at the address "basement *dot* society *at sign* mac *minus* bs *dot* de". Feel free to write in if you have already taken part in a beta test or maybe even published a game yourself. Greetings to everyone out there from Duisburg, Germany Marcus
