Anybody know any? I have a new arcadeish game I need some testers for, I posted on helpwanted here, and on gamespy, but I havent got enough (decent) testers. Anyone know good places to get free testers? In any case, you guys are all welcome, the sites here: http://www.positech.co.uk/planetarydefence Thanks http://www.positech.co.uk [edited by - cliffski on August 1, 2002 6:27:59 AM]

You could contact your paid players of your current games. Some of them will most likely be more than happy to help you with your new game(s).

Perhaps it would be worthwhile to set up some sort of "beta testing ring" where developers could have their games tested by other developers in return for testing their games. Or perhaps a new forum for beta testing? Just a thought.

The best beta testers are, in order of importance:

1) People who like the game.
2) People who hate the game enough to tell you why.

General purpose testers are unlikely to be in either of these groups. They may tell you about bugs in the GUI or the graphics rendering, but they won''t give you much in the way of useful feedback about the game itself.

Not that this helps you much, but that game reminds me of missle command

And I would have suggested the flipcode IOTD, but since the forum have been removed the flames arent the only things that have left
