3/1/2024 - Seeking Playtesters for v1!

Hey all, Sana/Shirley here!

Version 1 is almost ready for release! To prevent re-enacting the release of the tech demo, though, I'm asking for YOUR help. How can you help, you may be wondering? By playtesting! That's right, if you volunteer to aid PyNori's development, you get your own build that you can play EARLY! All I ask is that you don't distribute the playtest builds. They're not going to become lost media if you don't. I plan on archiving the playtest builds for people to look at later (if the game ever reaches a point of popularity), so please don't go leaking the builds anyway.

How can you sign up, you may be wondering? You can message me on Discord about it (if you have Discord)! My tag is realshirley.xml. No, there aren't 2 periods, so if you pasted my tag into Discord and it looks like "realshirley.xml.", try typing it in manually. If there are spots available (I'm going to have a total of 10), I'll invite you to a Discord server dedicated to playtesting. The playtesting is only necessary for version 1's release though, so once version 1 comes out, the server's contents will be archived.

Again, if you want to catch this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, add me on Discord at realshirley.xml and tell me you got my tag from my devlog! You can always add me anyway even if you're not there to playtest, but I'm less likely to accept your friend request if we don't have any mutual servers or friends.

EDIT FOR NEW VIEWERS: I'm late to update this, but the aforementioned tag no longer works as I'm moving away from the Shirley-XML alias outside of game development. For personal reasons, I cannot associate my new name with this project. Therefore, this entire post is basically useless now. Sorry.
