Hello everyone,

We are looking into private testers for next version to minimize the number of breaking errors. Note that we need people who are willing to test in a 14 day period and give us back results right away. You must also be familiar with how EGM works and willing to do several uninstalls and installs.

Email contact@expressgamemaker.com if interested. Please only contact us if you are already familiar with EGM.

We would especially like to see users who are currently having performance issues because we wish to work through optimizing EGM for you, to improve the public releases.

I really want to collaborate, but i haven't been able to test one single feature because of the bugs that will be corrected in this new version.
I really love this program and i'm hoping the best of the best so it will live to make some great games.

Just watching some videos in STEAM over a couple of games made with RPGMaker.... this guys are making money with such a limited engine and interface....

I'm adding last few event commands and will contact all the private testers when I test them. I was sick last week and had to take a break from everything.

I added all the changes I wanted to for the private testing, including major internal and external changes to the map editor. All that is left is redoing the RPG template and the cannon game to be tested. This might take some time because of all the internal data that was changed. I am aiming for this weekend or next week to start the private testing, just an fyi. There will be several internal tests with new versions, this will just be the beginning. We have revamped the whole testing procedure to not repeat the same mistakes since last release.

I finally got around to remaking the Rpg Template and now we have results to compare. The last version of EGM had only 20-25 fps but the new version has 164-200FPS with same tiles.

(Image in spoiler)



We can also see the decline in my mapping skills :)

I'm a bit late to the party, it seems, but...
Are you still seeking users to test beta 0.9.8? I'm not sure how much help I can be with my Mac-based VM, but I'd like to offer any feedback I had.

I'd like to be part of the testing also. I was on the Visual3D.net team for tool development, and have built games and 3D simulations in the past. I'm also a graphics artist, 3D modeler, and music composer (JoyfulDreamer). At the moment, I'm building a Silverlight base operating system called "Silver Windows" (90% Alpha version completed) where people can download apps similar to Apple's App Store, to "install" and use in the OS. I'm exploring Silverlight base game creation tools, rather than develop my own (which I can easily do), for Facebook and SW games, and I'm interested in seeing how your system can fit in.

Thanks,
James
