Happy Thursday everypony!

Novel here with something a little different for you. A few of you have asked when you’ll get to see GoE and I know everyone’s wondering.

Well, guess what? We’re looking for folks to help us test the game!

Now, before we go any further, let me tell you a secret. All those commercials about how testing video games is playing video games all day? (Especially the one where the stunning woman walks in with drinks for two guys on a couch. *Facehoof*) Those ones from Westwood, DeVry or Full Sail or other groups? They’re all flat out lying.

Game testing is a very detailed and methodical trade. It requires attention to detail, consistency and excellent communication skills. We’re looking for folks with that mentality. People who might be interested in going into professional video game QA at some point. This is a great way to get some real experience in the field. We happen to have some folks on the team with professional QA experience, so we’re happy to help start you on the right path.

So here’s the plan! If you’re interested in joining The Manehattan Project’s QA Team, head on over to our brand new QA Recruitment Page. Here’s what you’ll need:

A legitimate copy of Fallout: New Vegas

A legitimate copy of the Fallout: New Vegas DLC: Old World Blues

There’s a bit more to it, but we’ve left that on the new QA Recruitment Page.

How we’re starting everyone off is by doing some QA on our already-existing mod, Smuggler’s Run. While you may have already downloaded and played it, there’s going to be a special QA version that we’ll release specifically to those who are interested in joining this subteam. It’ll be ready by tomorrow.

After the Smuggler’s Run “test,” we’ll move you into the position as a full member of the QA Team. At this phase, we’re doing environment exploration testing. All those cool spots you got to see in the Environmental Preview trailers? We want you to check them out. Go over them with a fine tooth comb. Are they cool? Did you like them? Did you get lost? Was it too easy? Did you find any blasted floating trees (floating trees are the bane of my existence…me and anyone else who’s ever done a worldspace)?

So if you’re interested in helping us out, let us know!

Finally, don’t forget that we’re on the home stretch for the Fallout: Equestria (Manehattan Edition) audiobook YouTube release! In just a few days, we’ll have the entire book up on YouTube! Celebrations! Joy! Delight! Squee! So if you’ve never read or listened to Fallout: Equestria (and if you’re reading this, seriously, what’s your excuse?), now’s the perfect time! You’ll find the current playlist below.

That’s it for this week folks. We look forward to chatting with all of you who are interested in helping test out GoE and making it 20% Cooler! (Oh shut up. It had to be done).
