Blood & Mana : Looking For Beta Testers

by Andrew Mac · 06/01/2014 (9:02 am) · 4 comments

We are happy to announce that Blood & Mana is moving to the next phase of the project, closed beta testing. We are looking for people who are serious about testing the game and giving us feedback for the release version.

You can sign up for beta testing here:
www.bloodandmana.com/index.php?p=beta

If you know anyone who may be interested please pass it along to them. We're looking to get as many people as possible to stress test the game and the dedicated servers.

In case you missed any information about my game earlier, here is the preview video from a month ago:


Thanks!

This looks impressive guys. Well done for getting this far. Just a quick comment I suggest a bit of work on the character animations with the characters movements. Other than that nice job on getting the gameplay working.

Thanks for the feedback.

The animations are definitely our weakest point :( but we have made some improvements since the video. Torque can be a little.. uh.. difficult.. when it comes to animations but I think we've worked through the majority of the problems. It's tough to find an animator who can work with Torque so we're often left to work the animations into the game ourselves which leads to mixed results.

Luckily we're pretty much done with the functionality side so now I get to focus on improving visuals, performance, and of course, animations :D

Good job, reminds me of Q3A, now all you need is fighting a dragon that swoops in the kill the player and the other guys, then you can all ban together to kill it or let them deal with it while your killing the other players. Yeah I agree with the first comment, player animation looks a little weak but hey, looks good otherwise. Be proud you got this far, congrats! Wishing you all the best!
