The 4th Annual Interactive Fiction Competition's Website

Beta-testing Information

To help coordinate efforts, Liza Daly and Lucian Smith have set up an officially sanctioned contest beta-testing site at http://fovea.retina.net/beta-testing/. If you would like to be a tester, contact Lucian and he'll mail you a username and password so you can get to the site and download a few games. All downloads will be logged, and testers will be asked to download the game that has been downloaded the least, in order to ensure that all games get equally well scrutinized.

Authors:

If your game is ready to be tested, ftp it to fovea.retina.net/incoming/ and send a confirming e-mail to Liza Daly. If this doesn't work, you can just send it as an attachment to her instead. The incoming/ directory is non-readable, so you needn't to worry about it being freely available while it waits there.

Please include an email address in your game, as testers will have to contact you with their reports.

Any questions about the beta-testing process should be directed to Lucian "Lucian" Smith. Technical problems related to the beta-testing site should go to Liza Daly. Questions about the competition itself are reserved for our great leader, David Dyte. Soundtrack for the competition is provided by Sadie Hawkins. Sadie Hawkins appears courtesy Port 4000 Records.
