Hai! Here's mah strategy game!
cironian:
Greetings, prospective test subjects!
For the last few months I've been working on building a little turn-based space strategy game as a one-man project. It contains influences by several classic games like Master of Orion 2 (ship design and tactical combat), the strategic portion of X-Com (having to keep those who fund you happy) and Hearts of Iron (mostly the semi-realtime turn system and officer management).
Although it is still very much in Pre-Alpha condition, I'd like to get a few testers in to find out if the game even starts successfully on a few different system configurations. I had already noticed a few problems with the pixel shaders when trying it on other systems (depending on gfx card and driver version), so I'd like to learn about any other basic compatibility stuff early.
Exciting, right?
So, what do you need:
- A Windows machine would be great, Mac might work too but that's a secondary priority at the moment
- Must have a current version of Java (6 or newer) installed. If you are running Minecraft you're fine, since that uses mostly the same tech as my game
- Must have enough technical skill to download and extract a ZIP without detailed instructions, then launch a .bat file in there
- Tolerance toward incomplete or missing gameplay elements, placeholder graphics, buttons that do nothing, general lack of balance and related "fun"
What do you get out of it:
- You'll be among the first to mess around with this
- You'll receive a place of honor on my list of spam targets beta candidates
If you're interested, just send me a message with your rough system specs (mostly OS, graphics card and driver version) here or a mail me a rating@snipefish.de . If you send a mail, be sure to include your forum name so I know who you are!

You mention some very deep trigger-titles there.
I can test it at home. Here's my hardware:
Processor: Intel Core2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz
Memory: 8GB Corsair XMS2 RAM
Video Card: 2 GB HIS IceQ X Turbo Radeon HD 6950
Monitor: HP Compaq LA2405 LCD (1920x1200)
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-FI Elite Pro
Operating System: Vista-64 Home Premium
Motherboard: ASUS P5E Workstation Professional
I can run DX11. I'm running some beta sound card drivers from Creative that resolve a long-standing BSOD issue in LotRO.
Mrbloodworth:
Is a PM here acceptable?

Yeah, just send anything.
