We got the final code and its solid. We'll need all testers to come forth to ensure we are still on-track.

So all you avid WAR CLOWNS of the 40,000th millenia, dance it up for your greatest performance is nay.

Reporting for duty, might as well post here; it's 1.17 am and my eyes are tired.

Haven't played Harlies since their old build from over a year ago, could be interesting.

Hi there mod-team! I've been looking at this mod for quite a while ( years! ) and I've been terribly curious. The work I've seen was amazing, the model quality that I have seen floating about the interwebs. However, I am not terribly good at the game ( I've got standard computers down, right? Right? That's good? Right?! ) But, if you need a tester I offer to you my service for what it is worth. :p

Prove your beta worthiness.. we get too many people in our biz who want in on the beta but never actually do anything as a testers should.

not entirely no. Critique on if a unit is under/overpowered, if something takes too long to spawn, if some powers or anims don't work, and if the army works well as a whole

##UPDATE##

WE NEED MORE TESTERS! Currently we have a single Harlequins fluff/codec guru doing the tests but we need more. We're releasing a 3rd internal build and its becoming VERY solid.

Additionally, we're releasing more 3d eye-candy like a new Harlequin-specific WraithLord, and MockingBird, and updating the already superior-cool SpiritWalker. Both Catwell and GeoDav are doing extraordinary work so once the above 3 models are done and ingame then the project will be close to completing (although I'd like 1 or 2 buildings to be cleaned up but thats too critical).

So lets get more interested and committed testers! WE NEED YA!

EDIT: NOTE this is for SOULSTORM 1.20! We do not support bygone-era game code. SoulStorm expansion is now < $20 so everyone should update.

Head over to HERE and register there to offer your elite beta testing skills.


Volunteering my meager beta testing skills in answer to this.

I don't think I qualify as elite, but I offer my time and effort.

As a plus, I've made my own minor mods, using Corsix's ModStudio. I've made simple custom icons and manipulated art assets to add new race units to avoid the color bleeding problem. I have added new units to the skirmish AI mod, and poked a bit into how it works.

In the negative, I'm a single player type of guy, so my sense of unit balance is not likely to be trustworthy. My rig is fairly modest, Athalon 64, 2 gig mem, still running Win 2K. I don't know much about what the Harlies are supposed to play like. I only fought against the harlequins once on the table top, it was long time ago, and all I remember about them was that their main weakness was the painstaking paint job required before having them ready for play :)

Still thinking about Kontuz.. I prefer more enthusiasm as its common to get testers who do nothing and just want the "free sample". I hope this applies to none of you :)
