AfterBlock Beta Scheduling

Will be needing 2 people to test a pre-release of AfterBlock during early 2011. I am finding people now so I don't get whored by the few people who know what it is later on.
I've already had people ask if beta testing will happen, I declined it but I've since decided I need to get a few features tested on different platforms before making a public beta.

Requirements

I am in need of 1 person who runs Windows Vista (any of the later versions) and one person who runs Windows 7. You will need to own a legit copy of these operating systems, no cracked beta releases because you were too cheap.

- Must be competent at computing, beyond the average user
- Must be able to respond quickly to the testing when it is ready in the next few months
- Must be trustworthy, I can't have leaks of potentially buggy software
- Must not be an idiot, anyone who thinks they are somehow amazing for testing this is a fool
- No butt kissers, or "IcyGamma clone" fans. I'm not that great, so go away.

The testing will commence when the program is ready (as I said, early 2011). You must test the features described, then instantly report back on your experience. I may have to resend a fixed version and get you to test it.

- No time wasters, if I send you the beta and you don't respond for days, I'll be mega pissed
- I need people who can test an update immediately

Do note, the public release will come very shortly afterwards if you find the specified features work, so this isn't a way to get the program earlier than everyone else, and if thats your motive, go away.

You will be credited.

Erm, AfterBlock?

Its a better version of a program I made for myself in 2008. I decided to remake it for compatibility with the later Blockland. I decided if I'm going to spend so much time on it I may as well polish it and let the public use it. Good for motive too.
Get infomationized here. :3

It is not a Blockland addon. It is an .EXE program.

This is not another BC, or RTB clone. Its just a multipurpose Blockland themed program.
EDIT: Heres a better sum up, since DrenDran wants it apparently lul:

AfterBlock is a multipurpose Blockland themed program, that includes games and entertaining Blockland themed tools for Blockland fans. Additionally, it includes content creators to help you create limited content for Blockland and your user (such as the brick creator, the name generator, and so on). It also allows for limited management, such as changing settings, or backing up precious content like addons or configs.


Aren't you busy enough with other things.

Greekgeeker asked me yesterday if I was just being self-righteous with some of these things. My response:
"I create a lot of crap mostly for the learning experience and as a creative output. Just so happens the Blockland community (being the only online game I actually play much) is a good platform for getting people to try my things out, and give frank feedback."

Also if you aren't interested in beta testing, don't bother posting. This isn't a Q&A session beyond testing questions. If you want to bitch about it go to drama and have fun.

I'd like to test.

I own Windows Vista.

Shouldn't this be in GD/MD?

I wouldn't mind testing this, I've helped test Cyanian's AWP, and Herb's Friend manager thus far.

-Windows 7

Sum up what it is here?

i'd like to try it out

EDIT:Windows 7

Shouldn't this be in GD/MD?

Not exactly, he said it was a multi-purpose program that was Blockland themed.

Shouldn't this be in GD/MD?

GD is general discussion right? I believe .EXE is banned, so I'm posting it in offtopic since other program developments are discussed here.

EDIT: Also I'll be noting everyone who offers then going through and seeing who is the most fit for the job, based on past posts mostly. The times someone else has forgeted things up like this for me..

Send Me A PM If You Choose Me

I would be interested in beta testing.

OS: Windows 7 32 Bit (My laptop has 64 bit)
Video Card: Nvidia 460GTX 1 Gig EVGA Super Clocked
Processor: Intel Dual Core 2.93Ghz (Second core is 2.94ghz)
Ram: 4 Gigs (DDR2 or 3, I can't remember)

Experience: I understand the basics of programming and I'm a pretty nifty guy when it comes to finding bugs and I can usually identify what causes them when I see them.
