Hi guys Where do you think the best place is to find players for my browser based game that'll give it a good test and report bugs. I need it testing and cleaning up of any errors/problems etc before I open it up for full release. Was thinking of paying DP members in the "Cheap Stuff" forum to play and test it for me. Thoughts? $5 for two weeks of testing? Mike
There are probably some members on DP that would be good testers, as well as plenty who would want the $5 for doing nothing. It would be more work to find them, but there are probably quite a few video game forums where people would love to jump on this opportunity and do thorough testing for $5. Maybe... http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/index.php http://bbgamezone.net/ https://www.mochimedia.com/community/forum/topic/game-testing-forum-is-now-open
Did you try to write about it on GameDev or DevMaster board? Probably there you can find some help from other developers. Also try to find testers on Fiverr. You can also try to make open beta and promote it on game topsites like Browsermmorpg. It will be difficult to find people willing to test for such a low rate. Sooner look among enthusiasts and hobbyists. Try to make Facebook Fanpage for your game and start competition for catching errors and bugs. For example, the best three-testers will get a prize.
