I will playtest your in development indie video game
J. Mckenna
About this gig
What is playtesting?
A playtest is a run through of your game focusing on what works and what doesn't. It will include video footage of the gameplay, along with audio commentary. Audio commentary will focus on the following:
- What about the game works? What is especially well done or pleasant? What will the general audience enjoy about the game?
- How do the controls feel? Are they awkward? Are they intuitive? How will players respond to how your game plays?
- How does the UI look and respond? Is it awkward? Does it do the job it is supposed to be doing?
- What can be added or changed to improve the user experience or the overall impression of the game? This could be anything from changing the colour of an asset to completely changing the way a mechanic is implemented or functions.
The time required to playtest will vary depending on the type of game and the type/amount of mechanics included. Please see the tier descriptions, or message me for an accurate estimation of which tier to use.

I have years of experience play testing and quality assuring video games at all stages of development, for indie titles as well as more well known properties. Games that credit the play testing/quality assurance list me as JMckennaStories (other projects list my real name, those are kept private).
List of promoted playtested/quality assured games (that did not require an NDA) can be found on my Blento:

FAQ
What is the difference between Playtesting and Quality Assurance?
Playtesting will be focused on the accessibility and enjoyment of your game, with criticisms provided after standard playthroughs. QA is the deliberate testing of coding, wherein I will be performing actions with the explicit purpose of trying to find a bug or break the game.
Which Tier should I purchase for my game?
Please read the details on each tier below. If you still do not know which tier your game belongs to, feel free to message me to ask.
What games does Basic Tier cover?
Games that are mostly text based with very little variation on game mechanics. This includes standard visual novels and text adventure games.
What games does Moderate Tier cover?
Most standard games fall under this tier. Games with multiple mechanics or average amounts of levels. This tier also includes more complicated text games, such as a visual novel dating sim, or a visual novel that also has puzzle mechanics, etc.
What games does In Depth Tier cover?
Advanced tier covers games with complicated mechanics, or games with exceptional depth. This includes most RPGs (as they tend to have vast stories and many mechanics) and simulation games (as they tend to include multiple mechanics such as farming, decorating, relationships, etc).
What is the Social Media add-on for?
This add on gives me permission to stream the playtest live. You will not only see my opinion on the game, but also live reactions from a wider gaming audience. It will also include a YouTube VOD you may use clips from in promotion of your game, and a permanent link to your game on my social media.
What is the Retest add-on for?
This add-on means I will playtest your game a second time once you've made the edits noted in the first playtest, or have updated the game to an improved version. You will have up to 6 months to submit your improved game for more playtesting.
What happens if I purchase both add-ons?
Then you get two streams for the price of one! The re-test will also be streamed, with both VODs being posted to YouTube.
