A couple weeks ago we started a plan to do maptesting three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 6pm CST. It’s going pretty well so far, but I wanted to send out another call for the private beta testers to show up at 6pm Central today so we can continue testing and also have a tournament.

For those who haven’t been around much lately, we have trophies you can earn, several major bug fixes, performance improvements, and even an integrated chat system (triggered by pressing Return) so you can trash-talk your opponent. :) In addition, we’ve set up our own chat server using Mumble so that anyone interested can voice chat, if you’re into that sort of thing.
To use Mumble, download and install the software, then when you start it up, make sure to tune your audio settings using the wizard, which should pop up automatically. You can turn on push-to-talk through a combo-box in the Audio section of the Preferences, and choose your talk key in the Shortcuts section. Create a new connection to a custom server, set the host to www.intuitiongames.com, leave the port the same, choose a username (preferably the same as your Kong username), and then for the password type in the name of our game in lowercase letters. If you have troubles, feel free to ask in the Dinowaurs Game Chat on Kongregate. We hope to see you there!
