Privateer: Ascii Sector

yeah, no problem at all.

Great! I'll mail you the beta when it's done -- probably tomorrow or saturday. Can you PM me your email?

In case anybody's wondering: The game runs in DOS, Windows and DOSBox, so it should run on most systems.

@ Chris

I'd like to participate in testing the game if the boat isn't already full...
Specs: laptop, P3- 650 Mhz, 384 MB RAM, S3 onboard graphics, Win XP. Within the next two or three weeks I'll buy a new laptop. I'd PM you my e-mail address in case you're interested.

Cheers,

Very much so, as I've only got four testers so far. Please PM me your email address. Thanks!

ok.. haven't played too much yet, but I am extremely impressed so far. it all runs smooth, the NPC's all talk to you, even when they aren't plot important, and it is a joy to run around and shoot at things in space.

for the record, I have a 1.5ghz celeron with a gig of ram and a 64mb shared video card.

Glad to hear it!

Have you experienced any crashes yet?

yeah, it happens fairly often, but only when I'm taking off from a planet.

ok... need me as a tester? not sure I could devote much time, but I have several computers in different states of disrepair, though all of them running XP Professional. unless one of my old notebooks is still alive: they were 98 SE machines. so, maybe if I could catch some free hours this week I'd help test the beta. I'm quite interested in your project, as you may already have guessed

It's got some bugs that have been eluding me so far. I'll probably have to look through the source code with a fine comb...

Sure! Just PM me your email address. If it's a @googlemail or @gmail address, you'll have to get an alternate, as I've had trouble mailing attachments to these addresses.

I've got 10 beta testers now, which should be enough. Thanks to everybody that's volunteered!
