Roll to Beta: 5 weeks til release! Test 1 Starting!
« on: February 13, 2013, 08:04:01 am »

A nice little idea I had at 11:00 one night. (The title is also in beta.)

-----

You are a beta tester assigned to this new FPS your company, Spigot Entertainment, Widgets, And Games Enterprises, has been making. The game, called Cooperative Strongholds III, involves pitting teams of players against each other.


Here's where you come in.

-----

Spoiler: Character Application: (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Class Submission: (click to show/hide)

-----

How this works:
At various points (including after CSIII is released!), the Beta Testers will play the game as it is. They will be assigned teams, choose classes, be assigned a leader, and try to get the victory conditions. After one team wins, the week's work is over and everyone gets paid. (Getting paid has no effect on things within the game and hence is abstracted away.)
After the first batch, the Beta Testers will have their say on which classes will be implemented next. Once there's a clear winner, the classes will be statted and the next week will begin.

Waitlisters will be included in the next week's testing. Or in the next test, whenever it is.

Oh, and please note: This will not be over once CSIII is released. There's always a new update.

CSIII Status:

Bugs

Known Bugs: All continuous-damage effects cause setting-on-fire instead of the intended effect.
The Super Soldier's Green skin does not work--it defaults to the Red skin instead.
The Weed Killer's ammunition is not depleted by extended shots--after 3 seconds, it costs no more ammo.
Walls do not work.

Random Bugs: Occur in 20% of turns, plus on rolls of 6 or 1.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

Actually nevermind I'm out. Too temporary of a game for my tastes.

Iiiif you accept six players, REHSEHRVE.
I'll accept any number of players.

Wwolin: There's not a lot of AI. Consider making your ability one that would work better in an almost pure PvP game.

...I'ma go with no. Sorry, it's a BIT too crazy for this. Make your character something that would actually show up as a beta tester and your class something that makes sense.
