Hi!
I'm a solo dev that's been working on a game for the past two months and I'm about to reach a point where I could use some genuinely good beta testers who are willing to provide detailed feedback from genuinely playing the game. I'm looking for people who are willing and able to give me step by step instructions best they can to reproduce bugs, thoughtful suggestions on how to improve gameplay more than "this sux" and potentially suggest new features/additions as well.
I intend to use a discord server to manage submitted feedback and track bugs, so preferably you'd also use discord.

The game itself is a combination of a pet collector/raising/bonding, resource harvesting/gathering and crafting, and world exploration RPG. The video is from early development and much will be added/different by the time you might play it but gives a general idea of the style and content you can expect in this game.

If you're interested, give me a shout in DMs please and we can discuss it!

This is an oddly specific desire but I'm generally open minded about considering someone who isn't familiar with the exact landscape but can learn and is adaptable as needs shift. This specific niche target is complicated by my needs to not only be working with someone who is genuinely capable of keeping up enthusiastically like the octane fueled race horse I like to tunnel vision into becoming but frankly I need this person to become my close nay best platonic friend who can handle raunchy meme jokes and wants to play stupid multiplayer games with me for research purposes, of course.

I am in the midst of founding a game and app development company that also offers player accessories and various UGC on multiple platforms throughout the internet. By summer I hope to have a public beta of a full novel game made for Roblox public. My goals for the rest of the year are scattered and varied; I'll figure them out on my own if I must but I crave having someone who can spar mental swords with me and not take it as an ego blow when we inevitably say one or the other of our ideas are garbage and suggest better. I'm not anti-ai and regularly use Claude for full disclosure. I do not want any generative ai in what I make with that said unless it is exclusively trained and private on explicitly our art direction.

As for my credentials:

For the past 20 years (ugh) I have done illustration, graphic design, 3D modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, UI/UX, marketing, and much more. I worked as the Director of Operations for a vc backed start up for a while but now I'm finally free and determined to make the creative empire I know I've always been capable of. There are several people who wish to also work with me who are waiting for the right time to come for it soon enough, but they don't fit the bill of co-founder as I'm looking for quite right.

If my weird verbiage hasn't got you running for the hills, you share an interest in Roblox and general game development, have some kind of programming knowledge perhaps or some kind of gaming background and wouldn't mind the idea of it being friends as much as business... maybe hit me up in DMs.
