We've had a bunch of crashes on load, and our very own President Ark has gifted me with mysterious multicolor snow bugs that then take out his driver stack. ... we don't even have snow yet...

Oh, I can't wait to see how this explodes on my frankensetup.  Between the 4500MHD, GeForce 210M (which needs hand-crafted drivers because all the existing ones are broken), Optimus, in-home streaming and then scaling a 1366x768 desktop to a screen that only accepts a HD (720p or 1080p) signal, I'm honestly surprised it's working for any game at all.

Actually, I have a request that might be doable. So far all the screen shots I've seen have been close ups of one or two buildings or people in the open, I don't think I've seen a shot of a whole colony yet. any chance of you showing us one?

I tend to laugh when I find a bug like that in my own projects. At least for the first time I encounter one. When it happens again repeatedly or pops up after I thought I fixed it, then it's not so funny. Alpha bugs can be great though, I had an inexplicable bug where in battle, AI units moving west would only moonwalk. The fix was easy, but I almost wanted to hold off on fixing it.

I'm assuming that they're focusing a lot of attention towards each individual tester, and when the game gets to "ok, kind of sort of playable longterm", they'll let the That being said, I'm curious if items have quality levels like in dwarf fortress, or if chairs are just chairs. Right now I think I'd opt out of most of the avoidable occult stuff once I've run it's chain of events to completion, but if an artifact would boost my Optometrist from producing Seemly monocles to Gentlemanly ones, I think I'd be more tempted to deal with the consequences.

If those are not the actual quality levels in this game, something is terribly wrong.

Hey, nvining, mind if I get access? I even signed up at the forums. A month ago. And answered the Fruit Questions correctly. And then was told it was a joke, so I can never be a beta tester that way and that I had to find another way. Is this another way?

Currently we have two people for whom the game just doesn't render at all, one case of multicolored snow, three very useful sets of feedback, and one report of a stolen laptop computer. Yay, progress. Yep, this is just like Dredmor all over again....

I don't even really care if I get in myself, though deliberately trying to break games can be amusing. I just can't wait for the stories of madness, destruction, and warping of reality, regardless of if the cause was bugs or intended gameplay.

You should pick me because my computer is a five-year-old machine with 4 gigs of RAM, an nVidia 8800GTS and the ability to break down in tears if I so much as hover the cursor over the shortcut of a game released within the last year or two. But seriously, is there any ballpark figure of what machine will be able to handle Clockwork Empires, or at least what the goal is in that regard?

You shouldn't pick me because I'd find multicoloured snow hilarious and would only report a bug to the effect of "My rainbow snowman did not come alive" For actual content, IIRC this is slated for a spring 2014 early access. Do you guys think you're still on track for that or should I try to forget about this thread for another month or two? I'm not good with patience.

Please, please, please draw inspiration from Eternal Darkness' insanity effects for people playing this. Colonists shouldn't be the only ones doubting reality. "Remember when I told you about those guys making a cult and meeting out in the middle of the forest? Well, after a few in-game weeks, I think some of the nearby bushes started bleeding and yodeling at random intervals. Weird thing is, I don't think any of the cultists noticed."

Some bugs aren't funny, like the ones that cause delays like this. Others are hilarious, like the one that makes fishmen sometimes forget to put on their pants... and legs... and neck... and then do the thriller.  (Credit to some guy on the gaslamp forums for the .gif, although I have witnessed this myself)

Are you sure that's a bug and you didn't just break the NDA? I hear they turn you into tinned meat if you break the NDA.
