imVOX Mac Client Alpha Ready for Download

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

Hot off the press is the imVOX Mac client. This thing is so hot off the press I’d say its radioactive, as in not fully stable. Call it an alpha, call it a nightly build. Call it what you will. It works (mostly, or at least most of the time) and its available for you to try out. Just don’t cry to me if it goes down when you’re facing off with the Lich King. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

The download is somewhat bigger than the PC version due to the fact that it includes the Mono Framework that we’re using instead of Microsoft’s .NET for Windows.

Go ahead- download it. Mount the image, and give it a shot. You’ll have to install Mono before running it, but doing so is quick and painless. Then just drag imVOX to your Applications folder and you’re good to go.

You might- no, you will hit bugs. When you do, please go to the imVOX Support Forums and give us a shout there, or shoot us an email at support@imvox.com. We’re going to keep improving it and releasing patches soon of course. Provide us as many details as possible, including the imvox.log file which is located inside of the application. Just right click on imVOX’s icon in Finder and go to “Show Package Contents”. Then browse through Contents/Resources and you’ll find the log file. It is really helpful for us to have this if you hit problems.

Release 1100.8 Beta

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

We’ve moved up to Beta stage. With your feedback we’ve added some new features and more great ones are in the pipeline.

The client now has the concept of unique user accounts. Push to Talk now accept mouse buttons instead of just keyboard options. We’ve tweaked the UI a little more, and we’ve fixed at least 10 different crashing scenarios.

1100.9 is just around the corner, and your client should auto-update. This revision will add in more with user profiles, friends and better server management. If you hit any bugs make sure to use the support form and let us know!

We still need more testers! Please invite your friends and remind them that all registered imVOX testers will get an additional 30 days free on standard accounts (in addition to the 30-day free trial) when we go with the commercial launch!

Private Alpha Signups are here!

Monday, July 13th, 2009

You like being on the cutting edge. You had an account with AOL before AOL (Quantum Link). You were on Twitter before Sockington the Cat (March 2007). Your feedback in the alpha test of WoW caused major feature shifts. You played Neverwinter Nights when it was an MMO in DOS. You file bug reports and you still manage to play games!

If any of this sounds like you, or you wish it did, then you should head over to our alpha signup on the frontpage and throw your name in the bucket. We’re looking for ~100-200 users that will help us test our software.

In the current build, we only support Windows XP and Windows Vista. In the next build or two Windows 7 should be supported fully- maybe this week even.

Sign up, and if you’re in the first 200 or so you’ll probably get in otherwise we’ll roll everyone over to the private beta in ~1 month. Send all feedback, comments and questions to alpha@imvox.com.
