Third party beta testing departments
[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey "]One of the things that I think will negatively affect the text game scene is the lack of beta testers in the future. People are getting a little sick of this shit. My question is: has anyone ever heard of an external beta testing shop? Like, submit a game, give them a walk through or whatever and they test it for some fee? The next big project I want to do involves gameplay from 1986 Wasteland. It'd be a few years off, but I'd like to do a Kickstarter to pay for John St. John to do some voice overs during the combat, and get an external lab or whatever to test it, after it's already been through the testing ringer of my friends and social network. I guess the larger question is: how do these indie places beta test all their games? ICJ[/quote]
