90 day challenge, day 38
Since it’s called Health Month and it starts on the 1st of every month, I’m trying to get a few people in to help me test it out during August. This gives me about 3 days to finish off the MUST HAVE features and to hopefully find a few people who are willing to not only test out a new idea, but to do it with an unfinished tool.
I made a list of features that still need to be done:
- game manual / dictionary
- Twitter/Facebook posting (and fruit)
- Facebook liking of things
- buying sponsorship chips
- Amazon payments
- design the daily emails
- show everyone who’s playing during a given month
- profile pages
- track your meals
- mobile version
- import and display recent tweets from previous day to help you remember what you did
- import local weather
- get user’s location
- post game report
- sponsored invites
- make healings and other events trigger notes on the game wall
- more illustrations
Of those, I think mostly #1 (game manual) and #8 (profile pages) need to be done. So that’s what I’m going to be working on these next 2 days. I’ll be emailing people that signed up on healthmonth.com in 3 days hopefully. If you’re particularly interested and capable of playing this game in August, say so in the comments (you can also re-submit the email address with additional notes if you want).

You should know by now that I would absolutely love to help you test out Health Month. Let me know if any of the testing spots are available.

I signed up on the site, but want to make sure that I’m in this beta test, hence this comment. I’m a game developer obsessed with personal development and one of my quests “to better me” is getting much better physical shape/health, so I’m pretty much perfect target audience for the HealthMonth.

I can definitely test this out in August. I’m really excited about this project. Drop me a line if you need me to test it. I have already signed up on healthmonth.com.

Would love to get in on the beta test! I signed up on the site, but figured I’d post here too. Thanks!

I’d be happy to help out being an old school Health Month veteran

I’m excited to check out the new site! I’d love to focus on a meat-free August if you wouldn’t mind including me in the beta.

I couldn’t remember If I entered my e-mail the other day and didn’t want to bug you again, so left it. This is the perfect excuse to make sure I’m on the list. I finished college last month and am not doing much all August and would love to become part of the beta. If there’s a place that is.
So excited by this project. Locavore doesn’t work in the UK
But still, Health Month 
In just 38 days! Amazing – good work Buster.

I’d absolutely love to try this out. It’s closely in line with a bunch of my ideas.

Health Month in January did not appeal to me at all. Health Month as a game sounds somewhat irresistible. Would be happy to be in the first round (and sent a second sign-up comment to this effect!).
And Bryce, if you ever have any meat-free questions, I’m happy to help! I’ve been vegan for three years but still suck at being a jerk, which is fine by me, and apparently also fine by most decent human beings.

I’d love to help test this out and hunt around for a bug or two so hit me up anytime Buster!

Would love to be a beta-tester in August. I’m training for a half-marathon in September, so the timing is perfect.

If you’re still looking for beta testers, I’d love to be included!
