Let’s talk playtesting, shall we? After playtesting dozens of games for tabletop, PC/console, and installations, I've learned a thing or two about how to test well. So I figured it's a good time to remind folks about playtesting best practices while we're all hyped up with inspiration from GDC. 🧵

The Vale of Eternity... I managed to close the game on round 8 with an outrageous combo of 36vp with one card... You end the game at 60, so it was a big jump. Great game #boardgames

Polaris 2024 papers are out! This whole crop looks fascinating, but right now I’m really enjoying “Notes From the Boundaries of Interactive Storytelling”. Not done yet but it’s already resonating with my own work and offering further inspiration. (& yes, we also use “storylets” as a term internally)

We just posted a video that we made in Jan 2022 (edited by @nickverge.bsky.social) to pitch our studio+game to partners. We found it to be a very useful thing to have! A lot changed, but the gist stayed the same. We're sharing it in case it's useful for other devs to see! youtu.be/PBqzrMtmhXw?...
