Looking for a few good testers.

Calling all alpha testers!

Anyone who reads this knows that GalX is still in its *infancy*. Last night I got doodi & dsmooth to hop in a game with me and duke it out. Things appeared to go well until the server crashed! I'd rather work out these bugs as I move along in development than have to burn a couple of months in debugging at the end of the development cycle. Plus this will help me out by getting some real user feedback.

Weekly tests -
I'm going to be making these "mini-tests" a weekly thing and I'd like to build up a list of "on-call" folks who can download the latest build and hop in for 10-15 minuets with me.  I'd like to just have a list of "on-call" people that I can drop a message to rather than try to coordinate days in advance for a 15 min test. Of course, 10-15 min. assumes that the game doesn't crash before then! And yes, the game crashes, I can't guarantee the stability of your computer when testing such early code drops.....*PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS*.

What I need from you -
If you're interested in helping me out, please PM me your instant messenger name (AIM, Y!, MSN, ICQ, or GoogleTalk (i.e. jabber)), your system specs, and please install Teamspeak so that we can chat using VOIP while testing.


Last night's work -

Sorry, still no screenies. Last night I completed work on the "scores" screen. It now shows all the player names, kills, deaths, and pings. I also started work on support for using a controller. I got both analog sticks working, all 10 buttons, and the D-Pad. Now I need to add in the networking support.
