Hello you wonderful Deviants,I wanted to share my idea and plan for playtesting for this game. My main idea is to create isolated instances of all aspects:- The Lewd interactions- Shopping- Blacksmithing- Upgrading Party Members.- Combat (Basic Attacks, Jumping, Moving, using abilities, switching between characters)- Puzzles- Any Mini Games- Interacting with NPCs- Navigating Menus- Foraging- etcUnfortunately Playtesting isnt going to always be fun, but I am fully aware in how important it is, and your feedback will be so important here.In short, I want to let you test and feel all aspects of the game, but not by following the story, or the actual game world, when you go to play the game - In a way, you haven't played it at all, if that makes sense.I may even create a demo village and map - like a "phantom Hedone" where the playtesting and Demoing lives in.But maybe I can make it like one executable file and in the menu you select different aspects and add and update as it goes.What are your thoughts about these isolated instances?

Honestly love that idea, I always feel weird play testing a games story before it’s complete. It also keeps things interesting and surprising

Hey I hope everything works put for your game first jiggle pixel! I will support you until i can’t!

BedsideJuggler

I think it's a good idea, you get the test that you need and we get to help but at the same time we don't ruin the story for ourselves

I really like this idea! It’s always felt weird to me to play test a game with its story when the games not done because I don’t want to feel like I know the story before the game is out! I can’t wait to see how this turns out my friend!

TimberTallow

I think it’s a great idea and also great for long play

Awesome! I def agree with you creating a stand-in village (a phantom village as you put it) to not spoil story content. I do wanna mention that fast travel should be tested in case there is a certain item or character condition that might break it. And I don’t know if this is applicable but the zones where you walk to to enter a new area should be tested if they’re supposed to be restricted. Last thing you would want is for progression to break because the player crouch walked through an NPC or a wall or something

I'd happily test and provide feedback!

As a hobby developer, I know some things to look for so I think I could help by knowing what to test.

I like the idea to playtest separately so that we don't spoil the full game, but remember that the most critical point is when you bring together all the different aspects of the game, so taking from your idea of phantom hedone you can create a phantom instance with everything to be playtested, i know it would more work but i think it's worth it, i'll be happy to playtest ofc hehehe

That's awesome, any and all help is greatly appreciated!

nsfwpixels

Thank you so much as always, and yes, I will absolutely be doing play testing for the proper version to 😊

nsfwpixels

Thank you so much for your feedback David, I really appreciate all the considerations. So thank you! Definitely will need to take these things into consideration 😊

nsfwpixels

Thank you! And I agree, it can make it hard to get super into it when the game then finally releases as you're just like trying to skip through the parts you've done

nsfwpixels

Thank you, glad to hear you like the idea!

nsfwpixels

Thank you so much Kingfire I really appreciate it!

nsfwpixels

I'm so glad to hear, and that was part of the reason for me, it's a shame because you either get really into it, and then you're left without a conclusion or when the full release happens you're just trying to speed through the parts you already played haha

DaeDae

Exactly 💯😂

Jeff Woods

I feel I’m not alone in this but I would love the chance to play test and give you feedback and support in the progress of your passion project.

nsfwpixels

Thank you so much Jeff, I really appreciate that. Play testing will be available to patreons once ready 🙂

I like the idea of the single executable, with the menu to select the different parts for testing. Would be happy to give it a try if you need more testers.
