Welcome to the DogFighter Steam Beta Sign-Up Post!
The H|H is very pleased to be able to offer our community members one of 150 Steam Beta Keys for the stage 2 closed beta of the upcoming Dogfighter aerial combat multi-player game from Dark Water Studios.
We've been extremely lucky to be given this opportunity, and it's a fantastic recognition of the Hampshire Heavies community to have been asked to help with this testing. As a thank you for our help, one of the planes you can fly will carry the H|H logo and be in the community colours – we’ll be getting a sneak preview of this later in the week so stay tuned!
Be aware it's a proper beta, not a marketing one, so there will be bugs, crashes and other problems that will need to be reported back to the developers. When you receive your Beta Key it will include instructions on downloading the game and where to report issues.
ALL THE KEYS HAVE BEEN ALLOCATED - THERE ARE NONE LEFT, SORRY!
What do I have to do to get a key? Click here to sign-up and be sure to select the option 'Yes' for a Free DogFighter Beta key, and then make a post in this thread to say that you are interested.
Then in the next few days you will receive an email, from Dark Water Studios, with your key and all the information you need to download the game and start playing (and what to do when there are problems).
Whilst you’re waiting for a key, here's a vid of the game from early in the dev cycle:
See you in the skies!
When you sign up select 'Yes' for the 'Free DogFighter beta key' option, or if you forgot to do that, then you can do it by editing your user settings.
Please post here to say 'Hello' and that you are interested.
(and whilst you're here, why not post an Introduction on the Intros area, and perhaps even submit a request to be a H|H Reg )

Re: DogFighter Steam Beta Signup!
Hey guys, Noxy from Dark Water Studios here, just wanted to say a few things
Firstly this Mexican wave emoticon is SWEET.
However, there are a few things I'd like to mention.
Dark Water Studios is a pretty small indie fish in a very large pond of developement studios .For us, this beta is'nt a marketing beta. Instead its really an honest to goodness beta where you will encounter many problems (hopefully less every patch)
We try our best to answer all the threads in the bugs section and the suggestions forum every few days, please do come along and share your feedback and bugs, we greatly appreciate it.
I saw someone ask "why HH?" in an earlier thread....
I've been aware of (but not part of) the HH community for some years from TF2
HH has
- A mature community - In built friendships - Helpful and Talented Admin folk
In short, its the perfect community to test the waters with in a beta and get constructive feedback, most games when they distribute keys will put them on a big gaming website or something similar. Drawing from my own experiences as a gamer , the thing that frustrates me is the following conversation
"Hey im in the beta! Are you in the beta, your not in the beta? Damn I wish i could play with you."
We hope to skip that experience and provide a full community with inbuilt circles of friends and therefore we skip the "lets make new friends in a game" section. I think this is much more effective solution than giving it out to random folks.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the game at least. I can't speak for how long this beta access will last for, it could be one week or it could be more, things are moving rapidly with the game and for the company.
Ah, one more thing. This game isn't a full price title. It'll be quite cheap.
