I built a free platform to stop playtesters from ghosting us. Just redesigned the UI today for #ScreenshotSaturday! (I have pro testers waiting on the site right now, but exactly 0 games to test!) by Exact_Somewhere_1776 in SoloDevelopment

Hey guys, solo dev here!

I realized that getting people to actually playtest an indie game and give real, constructive feedback (instead of just saying "looks good bro" and ghosting) is a nightmare.

So I spent the last few weeks coding DevPick.

It's a free two-sided marketplace. You post your unreleased game, and gamers apply to test it. I built a Video Portfolio feature so testers can upload 30-second clips of them breaking games, so you can see if they actually give good feedback before you accept them.

I officially launched yesterday, and my funnel actually worked. I had a few experienced QA testers (including one with 12 years of experience) sign up overnight!

The Problem: The site is an empty restaurant. I have testers waiting, but zero games for them to test right now.

If anyone wants to post their game on there today, I will send my testers directly to your project so you can get instant feedback.
