Guess it’s too late to help.
@Talon5505 and others. Your help will be much appreciated. But hold on. I have an inbox full of corrections and suggestions to work through, which may create a whole new batch of errors. 
Yes please, hold on for second wave so you can see it with fresh eyes. First wavers, please continue to send me errors and suggestions. When I get my todo list complete, I’ll be sending out the call again and all those fresh eyes will be much appreciated.
I loved choice of a wizard! I spent like 2 days unlocking EVERYTHING! I cannot wait to see life of a mobster.
@Opx50
“Choice of a Wizard” xD
I would like to apply for the beta. The game sounds really interesting and I hope this doesn’t end up like Life of a Gangster.
Vendetta is still being worked on.
I’d like to test.
Hold on.
I’m getting a lot done, but I had a long to-do list of suggestions while I kept up with my corrections. The second wave will be announced soon.
@MSox99 But, this IS Life of a Gangster! That was my original title, but due to other games using the Gangster term and realizing that the connotations of Gangster was a rapping Gangsta, I turned it to Life of a Mobster to better reflect the traditional mafioso setting.
@Nocturnal_Stillness Ahhh, Vendetta: Rise of a Gangster. Nope, Life of a Mobster is different. I’ve actually been very careful to stay away from Vendetta. It’s a huge genre and our styles are quite different, so I’m sure that they’ll be quite different. When I get this game finished, I look forward to trying Vendetta.
Any comments on this, please make them over on: http://www.choiceofgames.com/forum/discussion/2764/life-of-a-mobster-wip#Item_56
I want to let this thread trickle to the bottom until I start my second wave. No sense closing it, because that shouldn’t be too long.
BETA TESTERS NEEDED!
I am ready for the Second Wave. Please read the first message and email me with your forum name. Please only apply if you intend to send me errors and suggestions. Second wavers can take their time. I probably won’t get a chance to start working on big suggestions until next weekend, Apr. 4.
Thanks again to those currently testing. I’d love to hear more from you.
@Nocturnal_Stillness Thanks for the update. I do the WIP every once in a while but haven’t really seen a change. Guess I gotta look harder.
I think I did 9 updates since the start of the first wave. The last few were substantial. Around twenty thousand new words worth.
I found an error. When your first child is hurt, I chose a son, but one of the choices mentions a daughter.
Please email me the errors, thanks!
Email me, please. No forum private messages. Use the first post to get my email address and then email me please. Thanks!
It’s a good weekend for reading.
I’m all caught up with my errors and suggestions.
Remember, if you had the game open when I updated: it may reset the scene or give you an error if a new variable was introduced. A refresh and start over works best. Version 1.14 is where your link leads. I’ve had a lot of awesome testers and I’ve fixed a bunch of errors.
So, read away! I’ll be gone for the weekend, but I look forward to having an inbox (email, not here) filled with any new errors or ideas you may have.
Thanks again, everyone!!!
I would like to participate as tester in the next wave.
I hope you enjoy/have enjoyed the weekend, @Lucid. I’m looking forward to nitpicking my way through Version 1.14 this afternoon
I played this during my book club meeting on Thursday. Only me and another person showed up not counting the teachers so it doesn’t really count as a meeting 
So, my game was a part of a book club? Awesome! All people who asked to Beta and all people who wrote to me about errors/suggestions should have replies at this point.
Newest update: 1.15 is now uploaded. Same link. A few new things in there and a few new errors.
I think it’s time to talk difficulty. I want the two super successful endings to be difficult, but not impossible. “Boss of Bosses” and “The Good Life”. Pay your taxes, make your tribute and go from there. The other 8 endings are all much easier.
I think it’s close, from what I hear. Don’t comment on previous versions, try the current one, since I’ve made some new changes. What is the difficulty of getting those endings? (I’m worried about Too Easy and Too Difficult, and I’m hoping for Hard, but doable after a few attempts. )
I sure wish I could edit my posts. I don’t suppose a bored moderator would like to edit the first post in this thread to remove all reference to first wave? Basically remove: 2.5 paragraphs.
“I’m going to try something…
… interested in joining the first wave,”
The waves worked well, lots of fresh eyes and I wasn’t overwhelmed with errors in the first few days. But, I’m now ready to accept more testers and I don’t want people reading that first post and stopping because the timing is off.
All testers welcome, as long as you email me, include your forum name and are willing to provide me with errors/suggestions.
