Here we go, stress test number three! Stuff is starting to accelerate quite a lot here as we gear up for releases. So we’re doing another stress test. This one is for an overhead 2d space shooter that you may have seen screenshots of before. This intent this time is to stress test with some physics and a really bandwidth-intensive game. We’ve also worked some on optimizations and on browser compatibility since last time, so we’ll see how that does. We really hope we manage to break stuff this time!
You don’t need to be an alpha tester to play. Just visit the main Metaplace page at noon Pacific time tomorrow, and there will be a link to the game.

Metaplace: Uberspace Stress Test March 8th….
“Hello everyone!
We would like to welcome all of you to a sneak preview of one of our space-shooter games, entitled Uberspace! This will be another stress test of our platform to test scalability, bandwidth, and instancing within a multiplayer …
That seemed to go well 🙂
I’ll get you next time, Chui!
😀 Bring it!
It was actually kinda fun to get a handle on tactics. Couldn’t get in at first, though. I think you guys did something to make things work half an hour in.
Thanks for inviting to your stress test.
After such a long time, I got up early (at 5:00 am in S. Korea) solely for playing game. Though i sound off during playing for fear of disturbing my sleeping wife, my test was stopped at 5:20 by the request of wife.
I succeeded in first accsss to the game and play the spaceship 2 minute while, and i logged-out around 5:15 and i retried to access, but failed. another try also failed. and that’s all. (Frankly, spaceshooting is not my favorited game, but it’s a valuable experience to me)
I await another aspect of Metaplace. Good to Great.
pS. Can i post the screenshots of Uberspace on my blog?
Yes, you can certainly post screenshots.
We had multiple server crashes during the stress test, but of course that is why we run the tests! I hop eyou will come back when it is more stable. 🙂
