Almost Done - Now Seeking Beta Testers!
Finally, after an admittedly long period of radio silence, I’m happy to announce that the first playable, beta build of Turovero: The Celestial Tower is at 95% completion! Thanks to everyone who’s been patient throughout this development process which has taken way longer than I expected… oops!
At this point in time, I’m trying to get the first beta build ready to go (that is, fully playable from beginning to end, minus some of the art assets but with placeholders to fill in the gaps, and bonuses like the developer’s room) by early May. As such, I’m looking for a few more beta testers than I already have lined up to help debug while I plug in finished assets and whatnot. If you have already contributed to the game as an artist, you automatically have beta privileges if you want to play the game early. But don’t feel like you HAVE to, mmkay? ;)
If you’re interested, please read the following terms and conditions and message me via Tumblr, Discord, Twitter, or any of my other social media. I will also be making a special server on Discord just for beta testers and bug reporting once the build is completed.
Terms and Conditions for Beta Testing
The job of the beta tester will include playing through the game, finding, and reporting any bugs, glitches, crashes, broken sequences, spelling/grammar errors, and other such things. ANYTHING you see that’s potentially broken should be reported via the Discord server (preferred), or through my other social media contacts.
The job of the beta tester will NOT include critiques or suggestions for things like additional features or major story or character changes. For the most part, these things are already set in stone, and while I would like any glaring plot holes pointed out to me, I won’t be changing essential story elements on request. Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The version of Turovero you will be paying is an unfinished beta build with some features missing. While the entirety of the main scenario will be intact, some art assets and nonessential features (like the developer’s room) will not be present. You do not need to report any of these missing features, as they WILL be added. Promise!
While not strictly a horror game, Turovero does contain violence, heavy themes, and light horror elements. Please do not apply to be a beta tester if you are under the age of 14. If you want a more detailed content warning before applying, please message me and I’ll be happy to provide you one. :)
Under absolutely no conditions is the game or any of its components to be redistributed in any form prior to release! This means no posting screenshots, videos, LPs, audio, graphical resources, or story details! By agreeing to beta test, you also agree to this non-disclosure policy. In addition, please do not leak or distribute the beta build once the full game has been released, since it’s, you know, an inferior build and all.
Further tips/pointers will be included in-game for testers once the download link has been sent to you.
Thanks for all your help and support, and happy Beta-ing! \o/
