[cool_mat]

I was directed to go here to try out for the beta test, I have all the requirements, (College student, love visual novels, don't take screen shots of any game) and would like to know how I can help. email is point_dude@live.com

If you're still taking positions to alpha/beta/omega test this, I'd like to partake in it.
I'll try and join the IRC channel when I can, I just need to reinstall some programs onto my computer after resetting it to it's normal settings.

I am not a part of the current dev team.
I have no access to the dev board/know wtf is going on dev wise.
I'll be able to notify anyone if I find a bug or any problem that afflicts gameplay; just tell me what to do.
I have around 4-6 hours free time on weekdays, 6-18 hours on weekends; so expect anywhere from 32 to 76 hours played.
I have never leaked an alpha version nor will I ever leak a version of this.

I've always wondered if this would become a game, I'm seen the page with all the girls and information, and google'd "Katawa Shoujo" once every month to see if it was real or not; but now seeing there is a forum for this and it's actually being produced I'd love to help with this in any way possible.

I mostly use Windows Vista 86x.

To all those who have responded to the alpha testing call, don't lose hope. What I'm doing right now is staggering peoples' entries according to every new version of the alpha that we squeeze out. So we may come out with a new version of the alpha so keep your eyes on your private message inbox. Until then, do stir up some discussion, or maybe even contribute to our open BG calls.

And please remember, register your nick before applying. I'll ignore your application if you don't register.

I apologize if this post seems out of place, but what after registering in the IRC channel what should I do?
Should I lurk around in the forums to see what is going on or should I continue to stay dormant?

We're pretty close to coming up with a new version of the alpha with the previous alpha testers' comments incorporates, so stay frosty. Soon after I announce the new version, I'll start contacting everyone that I'm interested in and come up with a new round of alpha testers.

Sorry about the late replies to everyone, but the first two rounds of alpha testing have pretty much been done.

However, with a lot of the paths now nearing completion and starting rewrites, hopefully it won't be long before we can start looking at some "story checkers".

For the time being, I'm closing this thread. When it comes time for the next round of testing, I'll open up a new thread (as well as contacting the people who have shown interest here).
