Sure, it's still a bit rough and buggy in places, but for an early playable it's also surprisingly solid.
In the coming week we'll play test the crap out of it, before turning our full attention to Chapters 3 & 4. We will need some help with the testing, so if you feel like helping us out, don't be shy to give us a shout in the comments section or on our Facebook page. It won't be an open beta like Chapter 1 was (there's only a limited amount of beta keys), but if you're willing to play the game a couple of times and try to break it in whatever way you can, you're A-OK in our books.
In other – slightly related – news, the voting for the IndiePub competition is now over. We hope we win, because it would help us a lot. But, more than that, we hope you had a chance to play some of the entered games!
And if you're wondering why Erik hasn't written in a while, it's due to the fact that he just became a father.
Cheers,

So does this mean WE can play test Chapter 2? I don't see it added to the website yet.
ReplyDeleteWe only need a few play testers. It won't be an open beta like Chapter 1.
ReplyDeleteCan chapter 2 be free? plz mabye for the first week?
ReplyDeleteI am willing to help test chapter 2. I played the first and loved it.
ReplyDeleteI wold love to test it for you! Can chapter 2 be free? plz mabye for the first week? thx!
ReplyDeleteI would really love to beta test Chapter 2! Please contact me when it's open for beta testing.
ReplyDeleteI, as the others, would love to play test chapter 2. Since it's labor day weekend, I will have a lot of free time on my hands, so I will have plenty of time to try my best to find bugs. I'm not really sure how you could contact me, since I have no blogspot account and I don't want to expose anything to the general public, but maybe you could just comment to your own post, if you need me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the hard work you guys do! It really means a lot to the players.
I have a lot of time to try to find bugs and "work" hard to help you. It would be a real pleasure. I don't have a Facebook account or anything else, so I can just give my email, but only in a private way (if I'am actually needed ;) )
ReplyDeleteHey, it's Gnome from Gnome's Lair (and Adventure Lantern) and I would definitely love to playtest for you.
ReplyDeleteI would love to play-test Chapter 2. Chapter 1 was amazing and due to the labor day weekend *as casualgamer stated above* I would have a lot of free time. I know you only have a few "beta keys" so please consider me but choose someone else if they seem like a better candidate.
ReplyDeleteI want to test the chapter 2, I play a lot of point and click games and I would love to test and send an report to you.
ReplyDeleteI would also love to play/test the second chapter!
ReplyDeleteYou probably got my email anyway, Anders, so you know i'd be thrilled to playtest some more. I'll leave it up to you to decide though, no offence taken if i'm left out. I look forward to the day when I can buy the game;-)
ReplyDeleteNow onto the important stuff that everyone seems to have overlooked: MANY CONGRATULATIONS to Erik and (Mrs?) Zaring. I hope baby and mother are doing well. Was it a boy or a girl?
My sister's expecting her second child in the next two and a half weeks so i'll be an uncle for the third time=)
How much is Chapter 2 going to cost? I don't think I want to test it (ok Chapter one was Beta) because what if I find a glitch? So I rather pay for it.
ReplyDeleteIt just better be a reasonal price, but I hope it is longer then Chapter One. I just hope my parents will buy it, so don't make it $20 for each chapter (I have seen so many games that are so short, they should have been only $5 or free)
Pitlang,
ReplyDeleteWe haven't decided on a final price point yet, but I can assure you it won't be more than $5.
It's hard to say if Chapter 2 is longer until the difficulty of the puzzles have been more finely calibrated.
I would love to test it out!! I'm totally in love with this game!! Lemme know if I can test it k? :D I check the blog about everyday for updates so I'll be in touch!
