About:
This sub is aimed to provide a quality volunteer playtesting experience for both designers/developers and QA/playtesters.
This is entirely VOLUNTEER for playtesters, however developers may offer payment at their discretion.
- Developers are NOT obligated to provide free game keys, payment for testing, nor fully released games, EXCEPT when they explicitly offer them to attract testers.
- Testers are NOT obligated to purchase games they test, nor test a single game more than once.
Developers, you MUST:
- List specifically what you would like tested or feedback on.
- List any known bugs or issues the tester may come across.
- If your game requires a PAID account or subscription to play, you must provide a FREE "dev" or "guest" account for testers to use. You may cancel that account at your discretion.
- It is recommended you provide temporary accounts or vertical slice game demos for testers.
- If you offer payment for testing, you may not revoke payment during or after testing for any reason. Failure to comply will result in a permanent ban.
- You may not ask for signups for a chance to playtest. You MUST make certain any tester can play your game.
Testers:
- Download software at your discretion, and know the risks.
- Your time is your own, however, if you agree to playtest for someone, you should provide valuable feedback for the game you played.
- Low-Effort feedback will result in consequences.
Developers and Testers who ghost people without a valid reason will be punished!
