Hello, fellow gamers and devs,
I’ve been cooking up an idea for a new website that’s all about making the connection between game developers and playtesters smoother, more intuitive, and just downright better for everyone involved. Before I dive deep into building this thing, I wanna run it by you all to get your take and, fingers crossed, some early sign-ups and early feedback.
What’s it all about?
It’s simple: helping devs find the right playtesters and making it super easy for playtesters to find cool games they’re actually interested in. Imagine a world where devs can directly send game keys to playtesters who are stoked to give genuine, helpful feedback.
Why though?
Because finding the right playtester shouldn’t be a wild goose chase. Playtesting should be fun, rewarding, open to ANYONE, and directly impactful, plus getting feedback frequently and early is key to elevating your game to the next level.
Cool Features?
- Devs and playtesters can rate each other, ensuring quality and reliability.
- Playtester approval - as a developer, you get to approve or deny interested testers
- A user-friendly process for gathering and integrating valuable feedback
- A tagging system for games and playtesters, so matching is a breeze.
- Campaigns for devs to manage playtesting from A to Z.
- User profiles that actually help in making decisions.
Inspiration?
Im taking pages from the books of impress.games, drope.me and keymailer.co but tailoring everything with our own twist, focusing on community and ease-of-use.
