Hey gang!

Will you be in Boston on Thursday 4/10? We're looking for a few candidates to come to Harmonix to help out with a Chroma playtest session the day before PAX East kicks off. We've done a number of external playtest sessions previously, and they have all been awesome, so we figured we'd take advantage of having a ton of rad people visiting the city for PAX East.

What do you need to do? Not much. Be in Boston on Thursday 4/10, be willing to come to Harmonix HQ to play Chroma (our PC music driven shooter currently in Closed Alpha), and fill out the survey linked below. You'll get to play a game while it's still in development, yell at our developers and tell us what to do better, AND we'll buy pizza too.

It's kind of last minute, but we'll be contacting people by end of day tomorrow. So sign up ASAP, spread the word, and we'll see you later this week!

    The RSVP asks whether or not you will be available for the general hours of 12PM to 6PM, so I am not sure if they have it hammered out just yet.

    Sorry for not including that in the initial post. Like @imnotalawyer says, we ask about availability between 12pm and 6pm, but we don't expect a session to last that long. It's likely that a session will last 3-4 hours, so depending on the response and our final playtest goals we may do a session with one group from 12-3pm and another group can come in from 3-6pm.

    We'll be contacting people by end of day tomorrow at the latest with exact times. Thanks for showing interest!

    Hey! We got a lot of responses! Thanks to everyone who applied. We've contacted everyone who has been selected to playtest, so if you didn't get an email, please know that we love you very, very much. If we had an infinite number of PCs and hours in the day then we'd take everyone. But if things go well this time around maybe we'll turn it into an annual PAX East thing to test out our upcoming games!

    Sincerely, thanks again for the responses. You're awesome.
