With the 2.0.0 Alpha release of Vore Tournament almost guaranteed to happen next month, I've already started making preparations. As stated in my announcement, one of the things I want to do first is holding a multiplayer testing session; All testing I've done thus far has been local with bots, and I haven't once seen how the new VT handles itself online... mostly due to the fact that I work on the project alone and don't have a test team handy. It's desired to verify the functionality of multiplayer before the release happens, making sure everything works right and this won't be a big epic fail.
I would like to hold a public testing event sometime this week, ideally this weekend to make sure as many people as possible are free. In it, a server will be ran somewhere between 1 and 2 hours. Players who have the development version of VT 2.0 working will be able to join in, and we'll all play a few matches and possibly try out several gametypes. Everyone who does is invited, no Patreon tier limitations and what not.
The purpose of this post is to ask everyone when they are free and would like the event to happen. I'd prefer to host it based on when people interested in joining have time to do so. Once a date and hour are established, I'll post another announcement and let you all know when that is.
To give the community as much choice as possible, please also pick whether you'd like me to host the server or wish to do so yourself. Someone else running the server might help cover more ground, as I'd like to see how someone other than myself handles this end of running a VT game. If anyone wishes to volunteer, let me know so I can explain in more detail how to setup a dedicated server.
My own schedule limitations are as follows: Since I don't have a job outside of Patreon, I'm free during any day of the week... however I'm only available during certain hours of the day. The intervals in which I'm guaranteed to be around are 16:00 to 18:00, or 22:00 to 02:00 (preferably). I live in Romania so my timezone is GMT+2 (Bucharest time), don't forget to convert those hours from it to your own timezone for a correct reference.
