The beta test build of Daxolissian System: Quad is ready for you to try out, just click that link! All the gameplay mechanics are done, my todo list while you're testing it out and giving me feedback is to find or make music for it, make a preloader screen, implement medals and leaderboards, and make a game completion screen.

One of its features is a gizmo to configure the game to work with your gamepad instead of relying on the usual web-based gamepad implementations that are pretty unreliable, so I'd like to hear from as many people as possible using all sorts of different hardware to see how well this approach works -- if it doesn't work then lemme know your OS (windows / mac / linux), browser, what gamepad you're using, and what happens when you try it. The gamepad mapper is is a tool that I'm making available to the NewGrounds community including source code so game devs can use gamepads much more reliably (hopefully!) in their web games. If a player runs the gamepad configuration gizmo on ANY game on NewGrounds, then their gamepad will be configured for EVERY game on NewGrounds that uses this code without the player ever having to run the configuration thing again. I'll go ask some artists to contribute pictures to the gamepad configuration thing so it'll be more visually appealing if it becomes a NewGrounds thing, so consider that to be something I already plan to change between this beta and the final game.

The 3D action gets intense, so I'm also wondering if most people can play this with laptop-grade hardware or if I need to cut even more corners than I already have to make it computationally efficient enough to be playable from a browser. If it lags or hangs on you, lemme know which level does it and what you were doing at the time.

And it needs music, so if you're a musician who'd like to contribute some sci-fi themed tracks that seem like they fit this type of gameplay then PM me. I'm gonna release the game for free on NewGrounds and don't plan on shooting for Steam or anything so there won't be any money involved, just the publicity of having your music in the game and being in the credits. And if you think you might want to make custom music for it, I'll probably take at least a week or two to check comments from beta testing and polish stuff up before officially publishing.
