After seven years of hard work, dedication and determination, The Silver Lining has now officially entered the Beta Testing phase! We are currently having a contest open to everyone, where the winners will become official TSL Beta Testers. This contest will give you a taste of beta testing, by allowing you to physically play several scenes from a recent build of TSL. While playing, you should notice a TON of bugs. Your goal is simple: report as many bugs as possible to us, using the contest entry form. This contest will run from March 9th to April 6th, 2008. Please visit http://www.tsl-game.com/contest/beta/ for further contest details and the link to download the game. Good luck and most importantly, have fun! -=Yonkey=-&&Web Director&&The Silver Lining&&[url]http://www.tsl-game.com[/url]

I wonder ... do those that report the least amount of bugs get referred to a commercial developer? : Yonkey - is this just for JA, or can we post it on other sites? I'd like to share the news on Sierra Planet's forums. I miss my Bubba: 1986 - 2006.

We're hoping to eliminate as many bugs as possible before we deliver it to them. And yes, you can definitely share the news on other sites! 8-) -=Yonkey=-&&Web Director&&The Silver Lining&&[url]http://www.tsl-game.com[/url]

I should actually update the minimum requirements page... What kind of graphics card do you have? -=Yonkey=-&&Web Director&&The Silver Lining&&[url]http://www.tsl-game.com[/url]

Culpa Innata ran fine on it, but other 3D games didn't. I think I'll download the build and check it out anyway. I forgot to say that I'm glad to see the game is nearing completion. We haven't heard anything about it in a while.

The engine is fine running ATI and NVidia cards, but it's pretty picky about any others. You can try it anyway. The worst you'll get is a popup message saying: Unable to initialize video. Yeah, we decided to buckle down and focus entirely on development, which is mainly why it's been fairly quiet the past couple of years. It's exciting to finally be able to see the finish line. -=Yonkey=-&&Web Director&&The Silver Lining&&[url]http://www.tsl-game.com[/url]

Maybe I'll try this out, too. I might even spot some bugs while I'm at it. I miss my Bubba: 1986 - 2006.

It runs fine with 512MB (which is what I have), but if you have 1GB or more it will load things a lot quicker and gameplay will be less choppy. -=Yonkey=-&&Web Director&&The Silver Lining&&[url]http://www.tsl-game.com[/url]
