Keys revoked, but coming back soon

JBlum — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 21:02:45 +0000

As a part of our transition into early access, we've revoked keys previously given out to internal testers.

Please be patient with us as we wait for Valve to send us a new set of keys.

Please let us know if you are interested in continuing to test internally for us. We will provide keys again to people who have showed dedication in the past and are interested to continuing to do so.

Important Testing this week

JBlum — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 22:30:14 +0000

I know a lot of you are bored of playing the same old thing..

But we only have a few days left and really need your guys help to make sure everything is as rock solid as possible come friday!

Appreciate those of you who have been consistantly showing up. For those who haven't tested recently, you should give the game a try! We really want as much input as possible.

Just as a reminder as well, we put up a survey we'd like all the testers to take. Please take a moment to make your voice heard if you haven't already:

Invisible Player Bug

JBlum — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 17:12:48 +0000

We're having a hard time replicating this invisible player bug. If any of you notice when it seems to happen so we can track down what's causing it, it would be much appreciated! Please pay close attention in today's test.

Thanks

Build server down

JBlum — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 05:40:51 +0000

Just a heads up, our build server is down, so that's why you haven't seen an update in a week. Expect to see a lot of new stuff next week - updated Heights, Ministry, Siege and a new coop map - Plaza. We also have new inventory menu functionality we will be testing soon.

The game is going to undergo many revisions these next few weeks so we need your feedback more than ever as we are officially 4 weeks away from our early access. Our goal with the early access is to deliver something that's fun, not necessarily fully polished. We want people to see a lot of potential - "this game could be really good with more polish, more maps, more weapons, etc."

After early access comes out we will make adjustments to the game based on community input - we will proceed to add new maps, weapons and content before the game is officially released on Steam, and you guys will continue to help be a part of the game's evolution. With your help, we will make this early access a success and resurrect Insurgency.

Testing map updates and class distinguishment

JBlum — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 21:46:39 +0000

We're doing our test an hour late today, testing big updates to the maps "Siege" and "Ministry". We are also testing various distinguishments between the classes and some new tooltip code.

We want as many of you to show up as possible and of course to post in the feedback thread afterwards to let us know what you think of the changes.

Cya soon!

Taking moderator applications for new forums coming soon

JBlum — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 18:53:16 +0000

Hey testers!

Hope you're having fun playing the game and helping us shape it. You guys have done a great job giving us your feedback and I'm sure many of you have noticed changes to the game that have been made based on your feedback over the past 6 months. It's hard to believe some of you have been testing for almost a year now.

As we move forward toward this first launch of early access, we're going to be putting forums up and need some good moderators.

Andrew "Argyll" Spearin will be lead moderator as the community manager, but we are now looking for moderators in different time zones that speak different languages.

If you love Insurgency and represent a language/time barrier that is not US-English, you might be a good candidate for this. We will of course take experience into account as well. If you've done this before or have some sort of special abilities that would make you an ideal moderator, we want to hear about it.

Send all applications to info@insurgency2.com
