TESTING YOUR EVENTS IN TEST FED

by Hazed

With simple events it is a minor inconvenience if you get the files linked into the game and then discover you have made a mistake and they don’t do what you intended. But when your events get more complicated, an error can have strange consequences: trapping a player in a location, damaging her, or even crashing the game.

If you have written events where there is this risk, you can ask us to link your files into the test version of Fed, so that you can test them without having to worry about things going wrong. If you crash the test version it doesn’t matter! You can also ask us to put your files in and reset the game more frequently than once a day, which will speed up your testing.

To test your events in Test Fed, email feedback@ibgames.com and we’ll explain how it works.
