About me
In march I was inspired to do some playtesting. I ended up doing 30 in the first month and got a lot of positive responses. So I keep going!
I was immediately glad I started – playing demos made me curious about games again – I have immediately noticed that I get attached to the games I have tested.
On almost every 3rd playtest I have created, I got a happy response from the devs and I have realized that its much needed and that I can be helpful and have something to get better at. (speech, structure & games in general)
If you are interested – I usually do at least 45 minutes first impressions, and adding anything that I think could be worth changing in the game – coming from around 20 years of experience in playing games.
My goal: To get good at playtesting get some interesting games to test. I do all the reports for free almost every day but tips are much appreciated.
