He's a beta tester, I wonder what he could have done.... OH WAIT! I KNOW! BETA TESTING!don_eno said:yes i don't understand beta testing but since you are a tester what have you done all this timeGuild McCommunist said:don_eno said:4 months of beta testing is alot of time since it takes only one week to finish playing a ds game.
You obviously don't understand beta testing.
They don't just play the game and go "OH WE'RE DONE" and publish it. They have to look for grammar mistakes, crash bugs, etc, all of which then have to be incorporated in a new patch for the game and tested again. This goes on for a while, since in the latest patch there could be a new crash bug, a typo, a mistranslation, or a different interpretation of a sentence. Beta testing goes for a while.
yes i read them. if they are working hard maybe the game has a lot of bugs or the translation it's not correctJeff88 said:Did you actually read all those tasks he just wrote? Apparently not huh?

ok i understand that and i am expecting a good workchad13dale said:Look, buddy. It aint that simple to beta test. Beta testing not only requires you to just finish the game in just a single sitting and poof, you're done. Beta testing requires you to check EVERY single action you can perform at ANY specific given time to produce a high quality work which is bug free. IT TAKES A HELL LOT OF TIME to do this and it's not just fun and games. I believe that the team behind this translations wanted to give you a high quality product at par with the commercial games available at the market. It's not just about looking for bugs and checking if it's translated perfectly. It's ensuring that nothing screws up at ANY given point in time no matter what the player does.

If Psychoblaster feels the need to give an update, I'm sure he will. If he decides to completely scrap the project without a word, that's his call. It isn't his fault that others are getting their hopes up.kingkonghong said:It cant possibly take this long to check for grammar mistakes and glitches.
I'm not speaking as an ungrateful bastard because I honestly admire translators on their dedication to help the public, but seriously, No updates, nothing, what the hell's going on?
Following your line of logic-why should he even announce that he is working on such a project to begin with? why not just upload when he's totally done? that way he wouldnt have to deal with people on the boards asking "whats going with the translation" in fact why work on one and release it? why not just keep it to himself??
You see where i'm going with this? he posted the information on gbatemp simply to keep people informed! so what if a couple dudes ask whats going on? is it a crime? some of you take this stuff WAY to seriously.
This guy has a point. You don't announce a project to the public like this and then complain when the public asks about it. And you certainly dont go all cop and confront everyone who asks with the fact that they aren't paying money.
This is how things go when you announce a project to a community and rightly so, you cant seriously expect them to go otherwise.
EDIT: I'd just quickly like to add that I say this because, like some of you have become sick of seeing people ask about the project, i've become sick of seeing people tell them to shut up because they haven't given anyone money and have no right to "bother".

This project is real, game IS fully translated, I've played trough it, in fact I was in the first BETA TESTING team while game was still translating, there were some problems, and part of progress was lost.
Psyco created this thread to find new beta testers, people who aren't friends, aren't close by, people that are from all over the World, which means different time zones, and hard to organize and synchronize.
Even more, nobody here is payed for what they do, they do it out of their free will, and free time.
Some testers go to school, some work, so testing comes in spare time.
After all that said, you have to take in consideration that after some bugs are found at some particular part in game, and fixed, that part of game has to be played AGAIN, to see if the bug is completely fixed.
Everything that gets corrected has to be tested AGAIN, to see if it affected any other part of the game.
So people who have nothing nice to say DO NOT POST (we even have that line in GBAtemp rules), no need for trolling and flaming, and even impatient childish outbursts!
People who keep doing it will get warned, and if needed suspended!
