Re: Please help us test Receiver (7-day FPS game)
Running the Mac build, with a macbook pro (early 2011, 2.2ghz i7 sandy bridge, AMD 6750m, Mac OS 10.7.3). A few notes...
- At max quality, framerate seemed to be about 10-30. Medium quality seems to be 20-60 fps (I'm eyeballing it)
- in windowed mode, if I cmd-tab away and then cmd-tab back the mouse pointer won't disappear until I left-click, so I have to holster my weapon or toggle my safety, or else waste bullets.
- (gameplay) My 'inventory' (magazines, bullets, number of bullets inside my loaded magazine) seems to randomize slightly every time I die, it's a little confusing
The game runs obviously, so these are just minor issues. I'll update my post if I find more.

Giving it a try, will report back
Edit: Well, got home from work and there are now 10 pages of responses!
The game is great - the weapon mechanic is very immersive, as is the music. I think any bugs that exist have been probably pointed out by now, so I think I'll leave it at that

Whoo, Anton's music WIPs got me all excited for this! Downloading now, testing tomorrow, reporting back then.
Re: Please help us test Receiver (7-day FPS game)
Only played a few minutes of the windows version so this is gonna be quick and dirty. Played on highest settings fullscreen and it ran fine. Noticed a tape didn't play when I picked it up, just got the click sound at the end. I'd picked one up in my first try and it played fine so maybe the other tape was just silent because I'd already heard it. Other then that everything seemed to work like it was supposed to.

I just fell through the floor in one place, other than that it seems to be working fine for me on Windows.
Re: Please help us test Receiver (7-day FPS game)
I've also fallen through the floor, in particular when crouching too many times in a row. I also fall to the side of some staircases and can not get out.

Re: Please help us test Receiver (7-day FPS game)
I haven't had many issues, but I did notice that when i dropped both magazines in the exact same place, and then picked one up, the other would visually dissappear. If i stood where it should have been, i still was able to pick it up, but I was panicking for a second XD.
Also, who else has found themselves running drills on quick reloads?

I'll take a look and see if I can get it running under Wine when I'm done with touching up our 7DFPS game

Re: Please help us test Receiver (7-day FPS game)
Very interesting. The gun mechanic takes some getting used to - especially since I have the bad habit of spamming r for reload in games which of-course here quickly led to empty magazines. Nice to be re-trained there
Here's some feedback:
General
Here's some feedback:
General
- Pressing escape, which releases the cursor should pause the game, and clicking on the window to regain cursor focus should not cause a shot to be fired.
- A menu would be good (see above)
- The mac build comes with a 128x128 icon, would love it if a 512x512 was included.
- The context-sensitive help system is excellent.
- The inventory items clip the world
- Walking into a wall while aiming will sometimes cause the help text to act as if you're not aiming:
- When you toggle aiming on with Q, right clicking should cancel the aim as if pressing Q again.
- Maybe it's because I know aubrey's voice now, but I'm not really getting into the audio recordings. The concept is neat and I can see what you were going for, but for me they come off as just a bit pretentious.
- Though I did very much like the 'gun manual' tape.
- Also nice touch with the slight audio distortion when you pause/play a tape.
- Sad that slow-mo was removed again
- Really like the running mechanic
- If you holster your gun while aiming you cannot run, but you can if you holster it while not aiming
- As other users have already mentioned, the physics can be a bit odd sometimes:
- The tripods seem well balanced - bad when you run into one by accident or fall in-front of one, but otherwise easily dispatched.
- Though their aim is questionable sometimes: I fell and landed 5 meters in front of one and by just jumping up and down in place dodged all of its bullets until it ran out. Maybe give them more bullets
- The fliers seem overpowered. They seem to fly faster than you can run and sneak up on you because they're very silent until they're literally on-top of you.
- Either make them a bit slower or make them a little easier to hear coming. I'm leaning towards the latter.
Re: Please help us test Receiver (7-day FPS game)
I picked up a tape which absorbed, but there didn't appear to be anything recorded on it.
If you try to inspect the chamber when the safety is on, the gun turns the wrong way so that the opening is facing away from you.
There should probably be a minimum number of bullets to start with. Beginning the game with 1 bullet in the chamber, an empty magazine and no extras is not so fun.
It would also be cool if there was some kind of indication as to where tapes are, so as to give the player a little more direction. Maybe they should be able to be seen through walls when they're nearby or something. As it stands, the goal/motivation of the player is a little unclear.
