Hi,
For those interested in Beta testing when we begin developing Mac
games here is a summary of our Beta testing polacy. We actually have
switched to this new polacy last month, and have had very very good
responce and success with it for Montezuma's Return for Windows.
As of early December 2007 for our commercial titles what we do is
release a demonstration version of the product which everyone may
freely demo and test. Those who want the complete game content, test
the entire product, etc we will offer a pre-order button on our
shopping cart which allows the beta tester to purchase the game
while it is still in testing and development. They will be sent a
product key by email, and that product key will be valid for all the
betas, and all beta testers will be given a free upgrade to 1.0 upon
release. We have found this method of beta testing is very
successful. Those who pay for the software tend to be more
interested in finding bugs, making suggestions, and constructive
input about the title than those users who are just given a free
copy to play around with. Also those early funds can be used to buy
new sounds, music, or any costs required to get the title to market.
Finally, for the potential beta testers it isn't restricted to 5 or
6 people. Anyone who wants to can pay to test the game, and usually
save money on the game in the process.
Cheers.
