Can you inform us when you have more information as to even the genra of the game?
Thanks.

hey munawar,
I think this is great news. Your game treasure hunt was really good, and I think this next game will be too. I am also interested in beta testing, I will fill out the application. How much longer  will you be accepting testers? Later.

i can't find anny aplication eighter.

This really isn't right, I was away last week, and I've never beta tested before and really wanted to test.

Hi maloc, This is none of your business! I was just saying that 2 days is clearly not long enough to accept beta tester applications. Would it really hurt to have a few extra testers? And that's just the point, I can't sit at my computer 24/7. And I think yo're the one being rude, and I doubt thay you're sorry about it! Some nerve, to turn arund and say I'm complaining with a 2 line post...

Heh, sorry, I was frustrated, but I did search that site up and down and found nothing. Axs for X-Sight, I shouldn' really say much, but hopefully we'll have some games out one day, development is moving kind of slow particularly because the manager is being really picky about audio libraries and encryption. Should'nt say much about that, though.

well there's one thing to know. if yo only have it up for a number of hours, people with timezone differences cannot join, if you put it up at the wrong time. i mean, it gives people in other countries a lessened chance or something similar lol.

Hello Andy,
This is quite unfortunate, but there is nothing I can do about it now. The application was on the website for two days after the posting of this topic, and there were some who registered that same day, so I must disagree with you that it was taken down too quickly. Perhaps by the time you saw the topic, the application had been taken offline. We accept a very limited number of testers. This is because, as another poster has mentioned, more testers than is necessary only gives some testers a chance to be inactive but yet get a sneak peek at a game, which is not fair in any way to those who are active testers. With an overly large testing team, it becomes difficult for all testers to be monitored in such a way that if they become inactive, they are dropped.

Hello Gamers,
I would like to take this time to clear some things up here. I've been monitoring this topic for the last day, but have chosen this time to respond because everyone has pretty much had a chance to express their opinions. First things first, the application is not going online again. For those of you who missed it, my sincere apologies to you, but we only accept a limited number of testers. This limit was reached two days after the application was put online and this thread created. I could not have changed this.

Next, some of you have pointed out that the application process was done unfairly. I would like to ask you a question at this point. Do you find it unfair because you did not get a chance to register, or do you find it unfair because it actually is unfair? How come no one from the testing team has complained on this thread?

Third, a poster pointed out that opening the application and then taking it down so quickly gave those in different time zones unfair disadvantages. The application was released at about 12:00 PM EST, which is close to 12:00 AM across the world. With the twelve-hour time difference, those in the farthest reaches of the world would have had time to fill out the application the next day if they chose to do so. In fact, there are a couple testers from the twelve-hour difference time zone that did register.

Finally, please remember that no amount of complaining will put the application online again. Another poster mentioned that accepting too many testers may crowd the testing team;this is exactly why BPC accepts such a small number of testers. Too many testers will make monitoring more difficult, and allow some testers to be inactive, yet get a sneak peek at the game. For the active testers, this situation would be unfair.

Thank you to all who registered for the team, and for those who did not make it--either because you were rejected due to violations in the past, or space did not allow--or you just did not reach the application in time, I am sorry, but as I said before, we are no longer accepting testers, and this may not change in the near future.

I rarely post such messages as this one on this forum; however, this thread has gone way out of hand, and I am not at all impressed. Thank you to all who handled the situation well (you know who you are) and who understood the testing situation. Unfortunately there are some who will complain about everything, or at every chance they get to complain.

hi munawar,
i apologize. i only pointed this out as judging by andy's post, it was only up a number of hors. while it is true that it's unfortunate that someone can never test something, it is also true that there is limited space etc. i have no idea what andy is having trouble with as he said he searched for it the day it came out, and didn't find anything.

Um...Mike, if you're a software developer as your signature says, then you are closer to your projects than the average tester gets. Just a note.

Munawar, in response to your posts I will only say this one thing: while the actual time of the posts being open might have been universal, the difference in time zones -could- have a small influence on who is able to apply.  Given that it was open for basically two days, however, basically negates this point. Consider, for a moment. If you opened the application at noon Eastern time (gmt-5), that's 6 p.m. in the greater part of Europe and 9 a.m. Pacific time, not to mention whatever other time zones there are which figure in. Conceivably, depending on time, it's possible that you might have therefore released the applications at a time when some of your interested audience was sleeping/otherwise unavailable. Please not,e, however, that I'm pointing this out only for the purpose of being clear; I am not impuning you and indeed, I support your decision, as you cannot cater to everyone and the fact I stated would be true no matter when you opened and/or closed the application. Having a small number of testers and, consequently, a short time frame during which their applications will be accepted does mean that your window of opportunity is smaller, but it's not unfair...just a little tougher to those interested in trying, as they have less time to fall back upon. The only thing I'll really say that hasn't already been said in one form or other, besides the thing about timing, Munawar, is not to let things get to you too terribly much. The only one who actually did complain was Mike, and he's appologized more than once now. I think it's 100% okay for people to be confused/curious/a little miffed by your decision to act as you have, so long as they aren't targeting you or the company with negative publicity...and while I had my doubts for a bit there, I don't believe it's a worry. Just let it go, I should think, and try not to hold it against anyone.
