After what feels like eons, Why Am I Dead At Sea is at the point where I can really use play-testing. Getting player feedback on how it's turning out would be great, but what I really need is to iron out all unforeseen bugs. Remember all those huge lovely problems with my previous game? That's what happens without playtesting!
If you're feeling particularly awesome and want to help me out, please fill out the following (short!) application and email it to pmcgrath@peltastdesign.com : Beta tester application .
Of course, I know that as a tester you are providing me a valuable service, for free! Although hopefully early access to the game is some recompense in itself, beta testers will also have the following incentives:
- Free copy of the game when it is released, along with whatever key codes are relevant, based on how it is distributed (this is an obvious one)
- Recognition: All testers who contribute will be shown in the credits (also pretty obvious). Those who contribute substantially more will get extra recognition.
- I would also like to have monthly best-bug-find competitions, the payoff for which is flexible. Nothing too crazy, but just as an extra thank you!
Anyway, thank you for reading! And just for the heck of it, here are some more images of the game:
- Talking to the first mate (GIF)

Seems like an opportunity to do some serious beta testing for once! The fact that it seems like a fun game as well is an even greater incentive, and potential cash?! Just gets better and better! :D Sending over that application in a minute...
