Opinion on a beta test

Archive: 5 posts


Hi there, all you happy gadders

I was talking to a friend about my level the other night, and we were kind of 50/50 divided on this...

My level is taking a very long time to complete and is probably, at the very least, about 4/5 weeks away from being done.
I was wondering, would people be interested in me releasing a short demo of the gameplay?
I was debating on this for ages.... The demo would be an example of the gardens, with some test effects included.
What do people think? Would a short demo ruin the level, or enhance or create a buzz about my level?

:-) Happy building to all

If it could take 4 to 5 weeks, you'll probably want to know what people think of it before you spend all that time making it, don't want to spend time making something people won't try..! But I'm sure it's gonna be awesome.2012-07-06 15:16:00

If it's say, a platformer that's taking you ages to complete, you should always just grab those obstacles and throw them into a quick level, polish it up a little then publish it, that way people can already get an idea on what to expect and then you can update the level with the full one once it's done and the people that hearted it before will be able to find it

Edit: An example from me is that I'm making a top-down shooter, and my older version of it had a quick concept put together where you walk around a small city area and there are zombies, even though I was intending for the full version to be much larger and more complex, and feature enemy people as well as zombies, it's still a good way to get your level known.

I'm going to be honest here, (why wouldn't I be?) if the beta is good, I'll want to play the full level. Bad, and one less play. So, maybe have a few good friends try it out before publishing it 2012-07-08 03:40:00
