Would you like to playtest a new indie game? Just completed first playable version of my psychological horror/moral choice simulation.

  I would love to try the game if it is available on Linux (sorry but I don’t have any windows machines to try it on)

  I play a lot of games (over 4,000 games in my Steam library) and I’ve made a hobby of reviewing them here on Lemmy over the past year. I especially love horror games. I would love to give it a playtest and provide constructive feedback.

  It’s up to you if you’d like me to also post a review of it here on Lemmy or wait until a finished product is available. You can see my post history to see the kind of reviews I write, or you can check out my blog where I’m archiving my reviews here. Easier to browse the history of posts on the sidebar at that website.

    Hi, this is very very early beta. I don’t want anything from it shared in the public. It’s just not ready for the wider audience. That’s why I’m doing playtesting, so this thing can git gud before people try it :D

      That’s cool, no reviews yet then. Not a problem!

    Are you retired or young?

    I cant imagine that much time! Good for you for being creative with it.

      Are you retired or young?

      I’m retired AND young… well, relatively speaking. I retired 3 years ago, at 38 years old. I’m 41 now.

      I was in the US military for 20 years, earned a pension, plus 100% disability through the VA. With the passive income and benefits (free medical/dental for life), I can afford to be fully retired now. I’m not filthy rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I make enough to live a quiet, relaxed life and have my basic needs met. And that’s good enough for me. Plenty of time to indulge in my many hobbies. And I have ADHD, so I’m always finding new and interesting things to deep-dive into.

      I actually started a movie review blog about 6 years before I retired. I ended up taking a hiatus from it shortly after retirement and just haven’t been motivated to get back into it lately, despite all the movies and TV shows I watch regularly.

      I switched to reviewing video games sometime last year and have been mostly keeping up with that; although it’s been over 2 months since my last review. I should probably make a new post soon, or declare another hiatus. 😬

  You want someone to test your games for ways to break it? I know just the guy!

  “Hey there, it’s Josh. Today we’re checking out The Milgram Experiment. Thank you devs for the complimentary game code. This is a horror/moral choice simulator. And we all know how trustworthy MY morals and choices are! But enough about that, it’s time for NEW GAME!!!”

  20 minutes later

  “Well, everything’s on fire. Everyone’s dead. And the frame rate is a staggering 3 frames per year! So that seems like a great place to call it a day. I hope you had fun, I know I did, and I’d like to thank the devs for this copy of their broken game. I’ll see ya next time!”

    Read in his voice.

    I do admire his line of reasoning. Just every time. Like I used to do silly things in the sims and theme park, but his natural curiosity is next level. HOLD PLEASE.

  Has anyone downloaded it yet? Just to make sure it’s not a virus before I run it ;)

  source

  • cobysev@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I’ve been playing it this morning. Virus scan came back clean, and the game has been interesting so far.

    source
  • Road_Warrior_10@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Yes, I’ve had a few playtesters from here. Hope someone confirms that it’s not a virus

    source

    • Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      We got a confirmation! That’s good enough for me :)

• Sunsofold@lemmings.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  I played another guy’s game (game dev thesis project) based on the Milgram experiment. It definitely didn’t have this level of graphical fidelity. I’d be happy to give some feedback. I’m running Bazzite at the moment so if you need someone to look at for proton compatibility, etc. I’m happy to be the guinea pig there as well.

• MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  I don’t play many games etc but just wanted to say congrats on finishing it!

  Also, cool subjects material!

  My brother and ex-wife were both psych majors so I’ve heard lot about this experiment. I’ll give it a shot. Mac, windows or Linux. I’m pan-OS-ual 😀

  I choose to playtest it

  source
• otacon239@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  Definitely interested. Would love to take an early peek.

  source
• J4g2F@lemmy.ml ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  If you need any Linux/proton teters I’m willing to test it. I can run it on Steam Deck, crappy laptops and of course game pc’s.

  But don’t know if you want the variable of Linux/proton in the mix know. Or only windows in case Linux/proton is creating more bugs.

  Anyway looks like a nice game and good luck with the development either way!

  Seems like my type of game. I love me some psychological horror and philisophical dilemas.

  I should have Neigsendoig test this for CoculesNation. He’d be happy to test this part of it out.

  Feel free to DM me so I can give you the email he uses for Cocules Media, of which I was a video editor for.
