Unfortunately, the project has become somewhat more extensive than originally planned. It took me about two hours to test each mission. So you should allow at least12 hours for all five missions on the first run.

Is this a campaign?

I mean this one specifically, I know that there are more "Hidden Hands" missions.

  • JackFarmer changed the title to Beta Testing: Hidden Hands - Blood & Metal (campaign)

Knowing this series, they're going to be really large maps which take at least three hours for a hardcore stealth gamer dedicated to minimizing AI casualties like me to finish which makes dedicating time to making videos for them difficult.

Okay, so I managed to beat all four of the previously-released Hidden Hands missions in preparation for this upcoming campaign, so now I'm ready to tackle this bitch once the thread's up.

i never did a beta, what specs do you need? exept time to spend i have a rysen7 and a keyboard and a mouse

You don't need different specs than with playing normal missions, although this is a newer mission, which usually means requirements might be a tad higher.

It's been a long time beta testing. How is it going?

It's a big project, so it's important to test everything thoroughly and run several tests. "The Lost Citadel" had a lot of bugs in the first release because I didn't test enough. I will not repeat this mistake. 

I have fixed all problems found during beta 2. Beta 3 shall include all subtitles and briefing videos. The problem is that I'm still missing some voices. This means we can't complete the game subtitles and produce the briefing videos. In the worst case, I'll have to do a new audition for this stuff, but currently I don't feel like it.

Thanks for your hard work and dedication whenever it gets completed.

      Today I started writing readables for my WIP mission.
      I wrote my usual text and then crammed it into AI and boom, high quality stuff comes out.
      I used to say that clipper is the mappers best friend, but now it seems it is more like "AI is the mappers best friend."

      Is there a thread for "Moving Day 2: Look Who's Moving Now"? If not, could someone hint me on what is Dick's birthday? This mission is quite enjoyable on its disturbing creepy implications.

      Can we get a few more players to try out "You Only Fly Thrice" and "Pinnacle: A Test of Talents" ? ( 15yr contest missions ). It would be nice to conclude contest voting in time for Moddb award season if possible.
