Calling all Beta Testers

Bowmaster Winter Storm Beta is now playable if you haven’t noticed. The game is constantly evolving with new updates every Friday (so far so good). Due to the frequency of changes it is not always possible to fully test the game and sometimes new features cause new issues. It is because of play testers like you that report new issues (see contact form) we’re able to find and fix bugs before the game is fully released. For this LostVectors is truly grateful. However, if you want to be even more helpful here’s how.

I’ve had some recent major triumphs, some mini defeats and mini triumphs lately. In the not so distant past I had some issues with a memory leak in Winter Storm. After much investigation and some thrashing I decided it was time to do some much needed refactoring. At this time I still had no real idea where the cause of the leak was. Continue reading
