I should start off by letting people know that closed alpha testing is not under NDA (and the developers have stated on their forums that testers "are free to post screenshots/videos anywhere on the web.")
So for those who may not know Heliborne is a team based mulit-player war game, centered around helicopters, and being developed by Jet cat games. You can visit their site and apply for closed alpha testing here (not sure how long their application form will stay open so if your interested you may want to jump on that):
http://www.jetcatgames.com/I have gone ahead and made a video on my youtube channel about some basics regarding controlling these helicopters in flight that can be found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoNj9lQhzKY I would like to make more video's about this game. So I welcome suggestions about the kind of videos people would like to see regarding the game. Thus far I am having a lot of fun with this game. I think the most interesting thing about it is how easily one can become their own worst enemy. There is a good emphasis on being in control of your bird. But not so much that it gets in the way of the fun arcade style play.
I am hoping that through posting here, more will apply (and hopefully be accepted) for access to the closed alpha. Because outside of the mass flight tests which are scheduled. It can be tough to get a match in. And usually when you do it ends up being a 1v1 or 1v2. The only upside to this is that I can load up my own match and just start messing around until someone chooses to join my match from the lobby. Which lets me practice my piloting skills and learn the maps.
