I need ßtesters for my twine (chapbook) IF entry

[Piergiorgio_d_errico]

as title says, there’s ßtesters for my twine IFComp entry ?

for allowing informed decisions on being ßtesters:

• it’s, again, set in the World of Railei.
• it’s a prequel of The Portrait and my major WIP, Isekai
• NO identifiable spoilers for Isekai
• I’m NOT, rpt NOT english mothertongue !!
• expect a galore of typos
• there’s ALL the three subjects of a certain painting !
• NO “scientific research” there ! (oh, well, save a joke or two on one of the best euphemism in the history of IF reviewing…)
• Safe for US workers (I think…)
• contain reference to war, with all conceivable disclaimer this comports.
• of course, references lesbian homosexuality and polygamy
• don’t contain inglenooks nor outhouses (because don’t has a map…)
• has a rather linear narrative (aside short side branches for in-depth lore)
• there’s choices, but influencing only the sequence (e.g. “this then that” or “that then this”
• is rather short
• no saves, but has direct link to chapters, each 10-15 passages save the first
• the first chapter is a major mess (an half-failure of introducing the world, suggestion on untangling the mess very welcome)
• uses an in-world lexicon (explained, if one manage to navigate it, in the mess of first chapter)
• incomplete, 5 out of 8 chapters done, working on the 5th.

Hope that is enough info for enabling informed decision…

Sorry for the bump, but really there’s no volunteer for testing ???

Best regards from Italy, from a perplexed

I’m on a few beta testing rounds at the moment, but I can definitely try out this one…

Maybe people think that “There’s βtesters for…” means you already have testers? You could try changing the thread title to something like “I need βtesters for…”, and see if that helps.

[Piergiorgio_d_errico]

your suggestion is a very interesting one. Implemented it, let’s see what happens now…

I could check it out, if you still need testers. I enjoyed Creative Cooking but haven’t tried The Portrait yet.

[Piergiorgio_d_errico]

Actually you’re the very first volunteer… anyway, tomorrow I’ll send you the zip with html & some notes in PM (you know how to open a local HTML file in your browser, I hope…)

Thanks and
Best regards from Italy,

Ciao!
If I can help you, feel free to send me your game to test…

[Piergiorgio_d_errico]

Ilbak, you’re lucky, having just prepared the zip for the other ßtester… so in the next few minutes you will get your ß test version in this forum’s PM

Thanks in advance, and
best regards from Italy,
