If you are developing games and no one helps in testing it. It's so easy to start hating your game because you have no reassurance.

@CodeRed_dev It’s worse than reassurance you can’t even tell which bugs you have sometimes cause you’re just not gonna catch them all

@CodeRed_dev I use my friends... They will tell truth me in the face!

@CodeRed_dev I've had a few friends play my game but how do you find people that will test the game.

Bring ideas to life with Grok Imagine. Generate stunning AI images instantly.

@CodeRed_dev Currently at that stage. I just went to finish this last part and hand over to anyone who would test it 🫣

@CodeRed_dev It's pointless if no-one sees it. The end goal is bringing joy to people through creation. Creation is a rapidly evolving concept at the moment. It will pass, but some big names will have to do some really good gen AI content and tolerate the flak for that to happen.

@CodeRed_dev someone having a boring experience playing your game can also be a drag XD

@CodeRed_dev It's also easy to love your game because no-one tells you otherwise 😆

@CodeRed_dev Also hard to know what's wrong about it, everytime I get people to try my games they play in ways that are way different than mine, which highlight new bugs and flaws that I would never have heard about otherwise.

@CodeRed_dev I've devoted one day a week, for my livestreams, for testing small developers new games, and providing feedback through the live, their steam pages, or direct email if that is an option.

@CodeRed_dev How about testing a 5v5+ multiplayer sports game solo locally where every role is different?🫥 Tons of fun!

Almost as bad, if you're enjoying it you start wondering, "Am I only enjoying this game and the features, because I'm taking satisfaction that they're made and done, not because it's actually fun?" And then you have people try your game and that affirms you, "Yes, it's actually garbage XD"

@CodeRed_dev Unless you are a retard like me with unwavering belief in yourself and vision. My testers keep me grounded.

@CodeRed_dev we have a group of players that love independent games and a lot of them are aspiring game developers themselves. You can join our discord and we have an “other-games” channel you can share your stuff and we’ll share our community. You might find some friends and dev partners!

@CodeRed_dev Imagine making an online game. I'm shaking

@CodeRed_dev jokes on you i hate my audience too i wanna make them pay money for something i out time and effort into making trash. *checks steam page* *positive reviews* *sigh* - damnit

@CodeRed_dev Love your own games, just hate people instead 👍

@CodeRed_dev Good advice. You don't know of anything actually works until you have people play it.

@CodeRed_dev Even when someone testing it, I had a lot of bug and issues on playtest 😭😭😭😭

@CodeRed_dev It feels like there are more devs than players in today's market. Players are in 3 groups. 1. Playing forever games for a decade straight. 2. Playing their decades long backlog. 3. Playing whatever hotness flavor of the week from social media. Everyone else is fighting for scraps

@CodeRed_dev And if your game is online multiplayer… just imagine it.

@CodeRed_dev Reason why I stopped my game project

@CodeRed_dev This is just the reality of personal creations

@CodeRed_dev ¡ This

@CodeRed_dev What?

@CodeRed_dev Yeah.. I love my game but I reached a point where I wasn't even capable of knowing if what I was making was actually fun

@CodeRed_dev Ya, I definitely understand what you feel.
