Steam Closed Beta (Closed, Emails Sent)
With all of us back from the marketing-campaign roadtrip with The Smoking Tire, we are working
full throttle towards the Steam Early Access release of the game. There is a date for this too:
12th March 2015 is booked in! This means that we have very little time left for polishing up what
we have right now, and to make sure the game works not only on our long-time beta testers'
machines, we want to invite you to join the final two weeks of testing before the game's launch.
This time around we keep it simple and won't integrate you into our closed-beta testing system
POMMS right away, but doing well in helping us out will certainly catch our attention and probably
give you an invite to the small closed-beta team for the next updates to be released on Steam.
How does it work?
If you see yourself fulfilling the requirements listed below, then you write a little application post
here in this thread. Out of these applicants we will select up to 50 people to join the testing on
Steam. Once selected, we will convert your active game key into a Steam key for the game, giving
you access to the game on Steam right away. Also, at that point you will be given access to the
closed-beta section here on the forums, where all discussion and bug reporting will take place.
So Here is the Deal
Requirements:
- You have preordered Automation.
- You are willing to follow the rather strict rule set and work on scenarios and bug hunting.
- You are willing to document your findings in a detailed and clear fashion.
- You know that "testing" does not mean "just playing around" and definitely is not fun all the time.
- You can spend more than a few hours on testing the game in the two weeks before launch.
Application:
- Write one post in this thread about why you are interested in taking part in this.
- If we deem your application sincere and the applications are closed, you'll be PMed a confirmation
of your participation and more details on the testing process.
This invitation to join the testing team will remain open until (and including) Sunday the 22nd of February.
Post your application in this thread before then to be considered.

Cheers!
