Hi All,
I, today, FINALLY finished my beta version of my game - it's a small 1.5MB download so if anyone want's to try, please go to;
betatest.koppfolio.com/

It's a relatively simple puzzle game, and is my first attempt at a 3D game. The game is Tic Tac Toe 3D, I'm not going to try and explain it any further than that as when I have tried to explain it to ANYONE, they just didn't get it :P ... so just check it out, it's pretty self explanitory once you get into it. :)

Maybe show some screenshots and have some more information on your site about the game. :) I wouldn't feel like filling out all that info and registering just to "beta test" a small tic tac toe game, but that's just me.

Hey Will,
The reason for the sign up form is so I get an idea of what computer systems are running my game and as I have a fair few people testing, so the registration makes the collation of 'bug reports' easier to manage.

I can see by my site's statistics how many people are visiting but not signing up :P so I don't disagree with you :)

Once beta testing is complete I will post a direct link for download, but in the mean time, anyone who can be BOTHERED :P registering & testing would be greatly apreciated!

EDIT: First try, Crash and burn...

Thanks for testing Cameron...

I have been reading that the Genesis 3D Engine I am using has some issues with newer, high-end PC's and even tho almost everyone who has tested has had a good computer, only 2 people so far have reported inabilities to run.

Other than these 2 people, I have received no other 'bugs' so far...

Thanks again.

Cameron,
Hopefully you'll see this post - Does your processor use hyperthreading? From what I am reading the version of the Genesis 3D engine I am using has a compatability issue with high end processors using hyperthreading which causes the game to "hang" at startup???

Yup hangs at start up for me too. P4 HT.

Thanks Jeff,
I'm going to look into putting a patch together to get around this problem.

I will post a notification here when it is done.
