Hope this is ok mods, if not you know what to do.

If you don't know, I'm working on an online shooter called Time Front: Battle of the Ages, in which all ages are combined at once, giving players the choice to research either swords or snipers whenever they like. I'm posting this here because this is a request for beta testers, not to showcase the game. I needed to post it here because I think people didn't realize that I was needing beta testers in my WIP thread (it appears on the surface to be just another project thread), and I couldn't just make another thread there.

The reason why it is closed and that I have to make this request is because the game has an online key system that I have to test before releasing it, so I will send each tester a secret link to a download with their serial key.

Just email me at unclesamtgc (at) gmail (dot) com, or click the email button below. I won't reject any applicant unless for some weird reason I get way too many of them. The beta will most likely be towards the end of this month, although this may change.

If I get more than just a tiny handful of players, I will be giving out free copies. Two will go to the two who host the best server for the beta test (anyone can host if they know how), and three will go to the testers who find the most bugs (for my own protection, these numbers may change depending on how many people sign up). I will include all the rules and terms in an email when the time comes.

Thanks!

Submitting your e-mail address means you're on the beta list. As soon as we have the beta ready, we'll e-mail you everything you need to start playing.

It won't be long!

Question 1: Look up three-four posts.

Question 2: Probably $20 - $30. I will probably give a special-price link on these forums.

Basically, now I'm waiting on the vps provider to free up space. There are a couple other things I have to finish, but that's the main thing holding it up.

I finally secured a domain name for the website (it's a long story). About a month ago I registered a business license so I can sell online, under the name IndiMasters. Working on creating a full site for www.indimasters.com . This will be important for the beta release because I needed somewhere secure to upload the files, and now I have it! Please continue to sign up, there's still room!

Oh, you don't have to wait! You actually just have to email me. Just click the email button under this post, or email me at unclesamtgc (at) gmail (dot) com (remove the spaces and change "(at)" to "@", and "(dot)" to ".")

EDIT: Actually, looks like you already signed up over a week ago.

To All: Sorry the release date keeps moving back. It honestly is close! Today I finished the installer (it is kind of necessary for reasons that will be disclosed later...and it's over 200mb), but there are still other things to work out. I'll keep you posted.

Just FYI: This isn't dead or anything. College classes started so it will just take longer to get things going.

Nope, nothing like that, but maybe it's good I did that so people will click it.

The beta is up! All who signed up, check your email.

Someone who can host should host a server as soon as possible. If not, feel free to host your own copy. You can actually join your own computer if you have a fast enough machine, just make sure the host fully loads before you open a second copy of the game.

Enjoy!
