5,500? that’s small. A game like this deserves more. You should join greenlight on steam to get more visibility.

Put this up on Kickstarter, you have no idea how much money you could make. I know several people willing to donate. Look into Kickstarter.

You need to put Gunpoint on kickstarter. I’m telling you, this could be your full time job.

Lots of people like indie games, and I am loving the few minutes I saw online. A game like this is basically Kickstarter bait. I know I would pour about everything I have into this. If only you would let us.

For your sake and ours, put up a Kickstarter, or at least a preorder forum like Wolfire games.

I have signed up for the beta testing a few months ago. Can anybody tell me how to actually play the game?

Wow! Awesome game. I saw it on YouTube.

You should just make a Dropbox account and put your builds of the geme there, then make it public so peaole can download it at any time without you having to send them.

Where Is The Download For The Test!

By: Alexander

Alexander — Tue, 31 Jul 2012 07:57:49 +0000

As a game the concept is fantastic.Together with the art and music it feels very indie and rather retro.
My ideas in this particular moment are jumbled up for I did not play the game yet but seen gameplay footage on the internet.
The 8-bit style characters blend in good with the background it’s not a character over a wallpaper it seems like a part of the game(all the doors furniture etc.).I also like the 2.5D style you gave to the game.
That’s for the game.As for the way testing works I simply don’t realize a better solution.You don’t want to give your game to the public so soon because you will be flooded with information.I’ve really said too much.

this game looks soooooo cool- id be willing to pay like $20 – 30 (USD) for this!!! or just take donations – keep up the good work :D

Indies have me excited, from what i have seen so far in this title unique and something i would like to test myself, between Gunpoint and Wolfire’s Overgrowth this years indies are looking great! keep it up

Nice game.

I would easy pay for this game, are u thinking of making one able to preordering the game, like paying now to get beta and som cash to you for development? ( Like Starfarer )

Thx anyways

Love the game idea.
I’d definitely spend some moneys on this, either in-game (extra upgrades, soundtracks, levels, level creator…?) or a few for the game itself if updates, to an extent, is free.

The Cynical Fleet has arrived. Prepare for deployment.

On a serious note, I hope you’re considering hired help. This game looks very promising, but if the momentum of success is too great already, you’re gonna get flooded pretty soon.

You have a good thing here, don’t **** it up!

By: Bongers

A way to get most/all of the people who signed up for testing involved would be with a Q&A on the site or into the game itself.

Simple questions like;
How enjoyable was the game?
How difficult was the game?
Etc. etc.

It would make it easier to get more testers, aswell as making the feedback process more smooth.

This game will be the greatest stealth game.

By: WC

WC — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 11:09:34 +0000

You missed one:

Can I preorder and get copies of the test builds?

Seriously, I think there are a lot of us that would gladly put down money for this already. I know you can’t use that much input into the game right now, and that would be noisy for you, but… Seriously, consider letting us in on it.

You might also consider adding an in-game survey, GW2-style. Allow people to rate each mission on a scale of 1-5 for difficulty, fun, etc etc. When you update a mission, wipe the feedback and collect some more.

Just a thought! I’m off to join the email list.

Cant wait to give it a shot! as much as I love TB, watching him play puzzle games like this is just painful.

By: Furiadocha

Furiadocha — Thu, 12 Jul 2012 00:52:33 +0000

Saw the game, it’s a great creative puzzle game, it’s awesome the fact you need to think sometimes “out of the box”.
Keep it up hoping for a build to test :D

BlooYed — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 23:55:58 +0000

Though i love the Game i realy dont think that it would help you testing, just sending it too some people. Like cswider said before me, it would be better if you just give us a link too a “snapshot”, it would make a bunch of people happy when you just give it out on a not waiting base’d level.

TotalBiscuit made a spotlight of it.. expect that 5500 to go up at least 300% if not A LOT more.

Love the game idea.
Hate the mailing list beta.

It’s so obstructive and annoying it’s driven me to scouring for illegal downloads – something I would never otherwise do; especially not with an indie game!

By: cswider

cswider — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 23:33:56 +0000

Maybe it isn’t the best way to do it, but I really like the way Mojang, the developers of Minecraft, are are doing bug testing.
They are releasing “snapshots” and then the community is reporting bugs and glitches on the Minecraft Reddit page.

Gunpoint even has its own reddit page already!

Only 5,500? I’m surprised it’s that few. I reckon that means you got my feedback from the last build, then, which is awesome. I love beta-testing stuff.
I actually thought you weren’t sending out builds any more in favor of keeping stuff fairly secret, which I wasn’t blaming you for. Maybe you should make the beta-testing fairly closed, as in you select a couple hundred people at random… but with this many people, that’d make everyone’s chances of getting an actual build fairly low.
A bug tracker (like mantis, bugzilla, etc) may be your best option, since then people would be able to see what bugs had been reported already, and what bugs weren’t found yet before reporting. It would also have the benefit of bug priorities, so you could work on severe ones before tackling minor ones. Just a thought to help keep everything organized. Good luck! :)

There’s a MUCH better way to distribute builds and gather feedback in an aggregated form – and it doesn’t even require coding or anything else; Deploy a survey solution, couple it with a download mirror (or three) and wrap it all up with MailChimp or any other nifty way to notify people. Click on the linked website and hit me up – I can throw you together a solution in 48 hours.

how is feedback gathered? might it be a good idea to gather it with an online survey or something?

By: Tim Hudson

Tim Hudson — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 17:02:35 +0000

I think that you can distribute your builds most easily, and cheaply, via bittorent. As for gathering bug data and QA information you could set up a web form with a couple of fillable fields.

I don’t know if it will work with your dev setup, but you can use Google to collect stats for games. https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/ios/. There are other platforms.

I don’t do it to do you a favour as much as to get an oppotunity to play the latest version of your fantastic game. Obviously I must send you valid data otherwise I’m wasting your time, but none the less, I’m part of the test corps in order to play the game.

By: Bmandk

Bmandk — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 15:23:20 +0000

I’d love to help testing this more, even though it’s been since february or something the last build came out. Hopefully more testing and feedback will come soon, since this game really has potential, especially if multiplayer support is included.
