Reposted by Andrew ThorpeAndrew Fray Helps Automate Video Games @andrewfray.dev · 05/09/2025I really like test automation. I just think it's neat! but it's useless if you don't have a build server. _and too many of you don't have a build server_ I know: you're busy, it's early in the project, silksong is out. I'll sort it for you, dm me. with indie-friendly pricing! 2124 12
