Stealth Engine V1.0.0. complete; Looking for playtesters

Sweet, I've got a stable early version of the Stealth engine. I need some playtesters now. Here's the requirements:

-Must have GameMaker7 Pro (registered)*.
-Must know how to use GameMaker7.
-Cannot distribute to others.

Drop me a private message at one of these sites if you're interested:

http://www.tron-sector.com/ - TRON.dll
http://www.ldso.net/tronforum/ - TRON.dll
http://community.guitarhero.com/ - TronForever
http://www.youtube.com/ - LightcycleChampion

I'll need your email to send you the file. If you do give me your email, I will send a confirmation letter just to make sure that it is the correct address and/or to make sure I spelled it right.

*Note: I made the engine with a registered version of GameMaker 7. If you have an unregistered version of GM7, then there's no promises saying it'll work. You can try though.

UPDATE: One of my playtesters, "death_program", confirmed that the game engine does work with the unregistered version of GM7. "death_program" is my only playtester as of right now. I'd like to have at least 3 playtesters before I continue work on the game. If you would like to playtest, send me a message or contact me somehow.

S.T.E.A.L.T.H. is in development!

I got GameMaker fixed up on my new PC, and I've confirmed that my .gmk file for S.T.E.A.L.T.H. made the move okay, so I'm currently working on it. Here's a screenshot from the intro movie:




What you see here is a soviet truck pulling up to a secret communist factory in Antarctica during the Cold War. Our protaganist, Agent 487 of the "S.T.E.A.L.T.H." organization, is sneaking into the compound by riding on the bottom of the truck. You will have to make your way through all of the rooms of the facility to get to the reactor core in the heart of the facility, deep underground. You have to be extremely careful, though, as you only have ONE LIFE.

New computer, new blog, new game!

If you are reading this then you either (A) have waaaaaaay too much time on your hands, (B) found a link to this blog on some random website, or (C) personally know me because I've probably told you about this site! I am TRON.dll (also known as LightcycleChampion on Youtube and TronForever at the Guitar Hero community and YoYoGames), and I make games and release them under the name Timewaster Games, which, according to a Google search I made a few months ago, is not a name being used by anyone! I was working on a game called "STEALTH", but then my computer died. I backed up all of my important files and put them onto my new computer. If the files do not work correctly, I'm going to have to start a new project. However, if they do work, I'll be able to continue my work on "STEALTH" and make some posts about it.

When I finish my games, I put them on http://www.yoyogames.com so that people can easily play them using the "Instant Play" feature. Now, I can understand if some people have trouble getting the feature to work. When you go to a page for one of my games, you will *likely* get an ActiveX Control download request. It is only required to download the ActiveX Control if you want to use the "Play Now" feature. If you don't feel comfortable downloading the control, then you can click a button near the bottom of the screen that will allow you to directly download the game.

Whenever I need playtesters, post a game, or have some info to share about what I'm currently playing, I'll post here!
