Shrapnel Games Invites You To Join The Navy!
Open Call For War Plan Pacific Beta Testers!
Hampstead, NC, 07 May 2008
War is coming to your PC! Vast flotillas of warships under an umbrella of
air power will
soon be striking at bases across the Pacific ocean in a bid for total
regional domination in
KE Studios' debut strategy title, War Plan Pacific. Shrapnel Games is
looking for a few
good men (or women, but really, how many women are into grand strategic
wargames?)
to ensure smooth sailing. If you're interested in enlisting in the USN and
IJN for a brief
tour of duty before the rest of the world gets in on the action please read
on.
We are looking for additional beta testers for War Plan Pacific. Interested
parties should
meet the following requirements:
* Possess a computer with at least the following minimum specifications:
Windows
XP/Vista, Celeron 1.6 MHz, 512 MB RAM, 100 MB free hard drive space, a
DirectX
9.0c compatible video card capable of rendering at 1024x768x24 bit. Even
your
grandmother probably has a computer capable of participating in the beta
test.
* Have an interest in a Pacific theater game that can completed from Pearl
Harbor to
the bombing of Nagasaki in a single evening.
* Be able to fully participate in the beta test for approximately three
months. Ideally
you'll talk, laugh, and cry in the beta forum about the game. Be prepared
to vocalize
your opinions, communicate ideas, and most of all give feedback. Beta
testing isn't
all glitz and glamour ya know, you're going to have to work. Of course work
being
playing the game, so it's definitely not the worst job you've ever had.
If you meet the above and want to give it a shot please write to Annette at
annette@shrapnelgames.com and put in the subject line "WPP Beta Tester" and
acknowledge in the message body that you meet the requirements. We only have
a select
number of open slots so please be aware that participants will be chosen on
a first come
basis.
If you are chosen as a beta participant expect the testing period to begin
quite soon (as
early as within a week) and you'll be expected to sign a Non-Disclosure
Agreement. At
the end of testing not only will you have the satisfaction of helping bring
to market a
great title, but you'll also earn yourself a copy when the game ships.
And remember: Beta testing. It's not just a job, it's an adventure.
War Plan Pacific is a grand strategic wargame on the Pacific campaign during
WWII for
the PC. With roots firmly entrenched in the world of board games, War Plan
Pacific is
turn-based, highly playable, and easy to get into. It also just so happens
to be playable in
a single setting, something which can't be said for your average PTO game.
Blending just the right amount of abstraction with reality, players fight
for control of
twenty-nine bases, seeking to achieve victory in either a quick, knock out
punch or the
long death of your opponent. Focusing on historical air and naval units
(ground control is
represented by sea control) play against the cunning AI or against a live
opponent.
No release date or price point has been set yet, but stay tuned at
