Week 7 - Time for a Test!
Okay, week 7 and I'm actually posting on Monday! Excellent. :) ( October 18th - 24th 2016)
Beta Test Time!
As we continue onboarding more testers, let's see if we can work together this week on a single goal!
Here's the plan!
We need to be sure each tile is fully and completely tested (by more than just us).
So, this week our test is going to be the 'Door Tile'.
Training - Door Tile Videos
Objective: Make a full level using door types from the default tileset. Try including the door -> Key, Lever and Pad types.
Questions: Is it intuitive. Is it fun. What can be added?
Publish: Go ahead and publish the levels - Be sure to title it 'Beta Door Test 1 - 'Your user name''
Video: Make a video showing your super amazing door level! We'll work one up as well!
And in 7 days lets post all the different ways we use doors and see how creative we can get!
Bugs and Updates!
- 30+ bugs were fixed this week!
- Updates to the following tiles -> messageFlash, gui (hud), and the watcher (subtile).
- A big overhaul on the text system across all tiles.
- And we went through the project and cleaned house. Yea for OCD (old code deleted)! 1,000s of older files removed. Makes for an exciting week ahead! :)
Also, thank you awesome Bug Finders!
