Jeff Vogel is once again putting out the call for <a href="http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com/testing/beta_test.html" target="blank">beta testers</a>, this time for the Windows release of <b><a href="http://www.avernum.com/avernum6/index.html" target="blank">Avernum 6</a></b>.
<br>
<blockquote>Right now we need Windows Testers for Avernum 6. We will prefer people withVista or Windows 7. You will need to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and get it back to us fairly quickly (Faxing it is a very good idea). People who don't get the NDA in promptly won't be able to test.
<br>
<br>
Important note:
<br>
We get lots of tester applications. Lots and lots of them. Sorting through the flood takes a lot of time. Due to the large number of applications we will receive, we will not respond to every application. Please do not E-mail us asking if you were accepted. We will only E-mail those who have been accepted. Many apologies, and good luck!</blockquote>

Why does he call himself "we"? Is he of a royal descent?

He's not the only one working on these games. Spiderweb has got three or four employees.

Cons of testing for Spiderweb

- Ruining your game

Nah, I'll let the numbskulls test my game! Go go go

 

[Elzair]

Jesus Christ! Why is this guy still in business?

 

[laclongquan]

Whyever not?

 

[SCO]

Hypothesis:

He looked at the screen shoots 6 years ago and concluded no-one would play for those resolutions/animations anymore.

Without trying one demo.

It takes so much time to beta test games. Wondering whether I should apply. It is bothersome. Hope they finish the testing quick.

I insist they must have a picture of a wheel of cheese, a spotted dog, a donkey, and a samurai sword. Also there must be a giant monstrous pudding in the castle kitchen. There is my contribution as a tester.

I betatested Geneforge 5 which is a lot of fun, but it took about two and a half times as long to finish the game and required me to go over every single detail to make sure everything worked to feel that I was doing a proper job.

 

[dr. one]

looks interesting, though i´m pretty sure wizardry 7 will be better

Let his kid grow older and it will be 4 or 5 employees.
