Request Beta of Pinball Arcade for PC?

[Pinballwiz45b]

Are there any plans of doing this at the moment, sending invites for those who voted for this game? I would really like to test out the tables and iron out any possible bugs. This has been requested by someone else in the forums; decided to bring this back up. Pick me as a tester!

EDIT: Thanks to Void for bringing this up. "Or maybe a demo version of some kind outside of Steam."

Would be good to have the option to check if this would work with my ageing laptop, without having to buy something first.
A trial maybe, or even just some kind of compatibility check tool.
The quoted minimum spec was a bit un-specific, stating it hadn't been bench marked.

If they are smart , there will be a beta for all PC users that want to make sure it works . Let's hope that how it goes down.


Oh I should add : I run a system that uses Windows XP Serv pack 3 , Windows Vista home Enterainment serv pack 2 , and Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit . so it's ideal suited for PC beta and alpha builds of games.

Farsight, I am available for some serious testing

 

[Jeff Strong]

You'd figure they could go ahead and start a beta while we're waiting for the release, which would help cut down on launch bugs.

 

[Crush3d_Turtle]

I too am available for beta testing. I can provide testing on various systems as well as multi monitor setups if need be.

 

[Klopek]

Sign me up!

This would be awesome and I would be willing to put some (a lot) of hours in to help .

Couldn't they just find a table that costs barely anything to license and put it up as the sole table as an open beta?

Imagine how many more people would be interested in it getting greenlit if say, they had the ability to play Tales of the Arabian Nights or Gorgar for as long as possible as an 'open beta'

I'm sure the beta wont be a DLC table , it will be one of the core tables , TOTAN , Ripleys, TOM (please no black Hole ,love that table but we need to show off DMDs )

I would like to sign up for beta testing on the PC as well if it ever becomes available.

Are positions for beta testing still open?

The only people who are currently beta testing the PC version are those who got the beta rewards via Kickstarter.

Does anyone know if the Beta has a portrait mode?

Also it doesn't look optimistic that we will be greenlit the end of Nov by Steam, unless Marley and the ghosts of pinball past, present and future pay Steam a visit and encourage them to change the error of their ways.

We are still waiting for a new ver of the TZ beta (the first one did not work) so no info about portrait mode yet

Just so everyone knows, FarSight is releasing a Beta build to ALL backers that elected the PC version as their platform of choice on The Twilight Zone and/or Star Trek : The Next Generation Kickstarter campaigns that way they can play the table they backed and see how the PC version looks.

 

[freezy]

Only those who backed ONE platform and chose PC, or also those who only care about PC but backed all platforms in order to support the company?

Good news indeed. Thanks for the clarification.

So being a $100 backer for both, I will get the beta build?
