We ran a 30 minute playtest of Times of Progress. The player got a kick out of watching buildings slowly construct themselves, and immediately started theorycrafting little touches like units wearing paths into the ground as they walk their routes. Full session: www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0Kz...

True. It's up to the game of how many they would like to take onboard vs leave out as part of the aesthetic.

I agree on all of these points raised by other playtesters, (especially point #1 & #2). It's very crucial for players to understand what the purpose of the game is & that game breaking bugs don't hinder the experience when playing for the first time. Take notes devs✍️

All issues were surfaced in games that had been played many times before, but the developers didn't realize they existed because they're too close to the game.

120

We Playtest Games @weplaytestgames.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

#10 - Camera Issues Around 10% of games had issues where the camera fights the player, looks at the ceiling or doesn't focus on the right thing. Make sure it's not too zoomed in so the player can experience the breadth of your world.

110

We Playtest Games @weplaytestgames.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

#9 - Settings/Options missing Many games completely lacked an options menu or it wasn't accessible in game. Make sure the settings actually work too, multiple games had issues saving settings or where changing them did nothing.

120

We Playtest Games @weplaytestgames.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

#8 - Players getting lost So many games needed a map and didn't provide it. Waypoints are very useful, and make sure the game clearly explains what the player needs to do next so they don't end up wandering in circles.

120

We Playtest Games @weplaytestgames.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

#7 - Difficulty Imbalance Many games started trivially easy followed by a brutal spike in difficulty after the tutorials. Guide players into the game without throwing everything at them from the outset. Lastly make sure it doesn't seem like enemies are "cheating".

120

We Playtest Games @weplaytestgames.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

#6 - Unintuitive or broken controls Around 20% of the games had an awkward control scheme, using the wrong buttons for attack, reload, sprint etc. Stick to what the biggest games do to not frustrate the player, or allow button rebinding.

110

We Playtest Games @weplaytestgames.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

#5 - Missing feedback for player actions It's important that every action the player takes has some sound and visual feedback so they know they're doing the right thing. Things like collecting items, taking damage, enemies reacting to damage are often forgotten.

110

We Playtest Games @weplaytestgames.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

#4 - Audio Issues 21% of games had issues with the default volume being too loud, no audio at all, or missing sound effects. A few games had bugs with audio when alt tabbing or restarting a play-through so make sure you test for that.

110

We Playtest Games @weplaytestgames.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

#3 - UI/UX issues Testing at many resolutions is critical. We often found when playing in >1080p text became too small to read or blurry. Having UI scaling options can solve this.

120

We Playtest Games @weplaytestgames.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

#2 - Game-breaking bugs In 39% of playtests we found bugs that were so large they either crashed the game, froze the controls, or soft-locked the player so they couldn't progress. The most frustrating were around saving the game, where it often completely failed.

120
