Beta Phase for "Tetris DL"...Apply Info Here

Hi Everyone,


It's been a while since I've last posted, but if you remember, I'm part of Blue Planet Software.

We are currently in the Beta Phase of a new Tetris Product for Mac's. If you would like to be apart of the Beta, please submit your application at the Tetris DL Beta signup page at tetrisdl.com <- Edited, www.tetrisdl.com does not seem to be working.


Remember, it's free and only Macintosh users will be eligiable.

ENJOY!

 

So i signed up. I'd like to know a few things.

1. What does DL stand for?

2. When does the beta start?

 

1. DL is our codename during production. Title is not final yet, that's why it's put in quotations.

2. Beta will start within a week or less timeframe.


Thanks!

 

your page says "for the Mac version to TetrisDL." which i think should probably be "of TetrisDL" otherwise, i'm excited--can you tell us if DL will also be win ported or give us any hints about BPS win dev in general?

 

I'm glad that you're excited! There will be a windows version released towards the end of Q1 '07. Currently we are just trying to get the mac version out. Once completed, dev for windows is next. And when the Beta Phase beings for the Windows version, I will let everyone know again.


Thanks!

 

Let me get this straight. You're developing the Mac version first? The only developers I know who'd do that are the types who started off on the Mac platform. Like Freeverse.


I like Freeverse...


So is there a reason that the development is starting on my side of the fence, so to speak? I guess I should be saying thank you?

 

First off, our company is a fan of Mac's, not me...and their reason for starting off on mac was that it would be easier and faster to produce, less hardware/OS'es to take into consideration for compatibility. Did you fill out the application?


Just a heads up, could people please post on here if they did apply for Beta, thanks!

 

I saw the topic, and hurried up and applied (as is my normal beta technique), and then found out it was for mac only. i don't have a mac, but i'm going to try and find someone who does have one.

 

My mistake.


Yes, I did sign up for the beta test. I'm very interested in what BPS does with the tetris concept.


Er, meaning the actual concept, not just this forum.

 

if it wasn't implied in the previous post, i applied immediately. my name is mat, please let me play your game .

 

Applied.

 

Which versions of Mac OS will this run on? Depending on the version, I may or may not be able to test. :/

 

it's in the news.

 

Gah these people discust me.

 

they discussed me...


the line about "tetris? where have i heard that? isn't that an obscure clone of quinn?" that was good stuff...

 

Erk, OS X...


I can't help, then. I only use OS 8. Sorry. =/

 

Whoa, seriously? That version really was something, but how've you been able to keep using it?

 

i have seen it on a friends computer: if you have some mighty powerhorse CPU (min some dualcore intel), you may as well run MAC-OSX completely inside vmware.

so no need for a mac to participate.
