DreamCatcher games announces plans for an open beta for Dungeon Lords, though. like so many "open" betas, this one will actually be somewhat closed. Here's the deal on how to apply to test the upcoming action/RPG:

The test will include both single and multiplayer components and entrants may apply for one or both. Testers will be chosen based on applications and ability to play RPGs. The minimum system requirements for the test are a 1ghz proc with 256 RAM and a Geforce 2. The application can be found at http://www.dreamcatchergames.com/dci/forms/betatester/.

Ok, then how about your own example? Jedi Knight 1 and 2 used an optional first person cam for lightsabers, and it worked.
Or how about Hexen 2?
Don't take me wrong, I prefer 3rd person for hack & slash, but the alternative should exist for those that don't.

I find it despicable that a multi-million dollar publisher is pimping out high school students to do its QA. That's slave labor--welcome to Bush America.

I'm trying to get into Physics Engine Programming. I also read on IGDA that Q/A is one of the best ways to get in the game industry. I'm not getting paid either, I'll be getting two high school credits for it. Maybe some incentives. It's still good to have on my resume and I might have some fun.

"I just went for my co-op job interview at DreamCatcher today and I got the job! I'm going to be in the Quality Assurance dept. as a game tester! Thank you Blue for showing me this awesome company!! "

Lol, you won't be saying that in 3 months. Game QA is merciless. Prepare to have no life and even shittier pay. BUT, if you can hang for a few years you might get promoted (most producers were ex-QA people)

I wasn't talking about coop as a feature, I was talking about the coop system Dungeon Lords apparently uses.

When it comes to multiplayer RPGS you can pretty much be sure it means "coop" multiplay.

I have read STALKER has pulled it

Yes to get the game out, sooner.
My understanding "its droped for the moment", was the quote I saw this week, in an interview.

Ill probably buy it just cause it has Coop.
Coop will save the world

I'm guessing this is related to iD not including coop in Doom3 because PC gamers "don't want it". You know, sarcasm.

Yes, thank you for noticing quazz, I thought the sarcasm would be dripping heavily off that statement, guess not, some people are just wound up super tight. Doom 3 is just the most recent game to not have co-op; Painkiller, Doom 3, Quake 4 (next game to not have it, that should, made Q2), Jedi Outcast/Academy, from what I have read STALKER has pulled it.


So to clarify, Professional, I am looking forward to at least checking out Dungeon Lords, even though I hate co-op

QA sux a BIG FAT COCK.... its most likely going to ruin the experience of any game you test as well

unless you can find the zen, you wont last more than a few months.... push for a promotion first chance you get

Blade of Darkness aka Severence, was 3rd person and yes I played it. I beleive that you could use first person mode if you chose but it's default was 3rd, and it was designed for 3rd.

Try again.

Best of luck, Fantaz. QA is a BRUTAL job. If you can grind it out until you get into production as an AP I salute you.

you have to give your personal information because you are being let in on the development process and can potentially violate the security of the project

How long does it take to 'get in'? I did the form this morning and got a generic 'we'll review your beta app' email. Hand picked? In any event this is like demo #7 on my list. Demo-riffic in the lats few weeks.

I beleive it is VERY equivilent to Diablo where you can play SP by yourself or join up to 7 other people with co-op, you know, that game type that us PC Gamers don't like.
Speak for yourself, I like this system.
