@anthonydangelo Exactly the problem. Per-seat pricing also locks down the QA test cases and reporting away from the rest of the team.

Would love your feedback when you’ve had a look.

[Dan Goodayle @DGoodayle]

QA tooling is absurdly expensive for what it does.

Qase is $20-30/seat. For a 10-person studio that's $300/mo+ for a tool not built for games.

So I built Ludovite, purpose-built for game studios. Free tier, no credit card required. Paid from $49/mo flat.

Sick of cert submissions bouncing because something slipped through?

I built a free Xbox cert checklist - 172 steps from the official GDK v16.1 spec, with time estimates so you know exactly how long the pass will take.

Had a pretty close encounter with a glider at 3,000ft today. Everyone was safe.

Practicing critical speed manouvers in the C42 over Brighton today.

I've started learning to fly, apparently starting a plane isn't as simple as pressing a button 😂

Going to take me a little time to get used to chokes being used on carbs!

[Dan Goodayle @DGoodayle]

@sebify It’s been really fun so far, forcing me to be a lot more creative for sure

[Dan Goodayle @DGoodayle]

I only managed to bring my phone with me on this trip - somehow I forgot the battery for my camera. I think I may just leave it at home next time 😂

@AlanZucconi Get ready for infinite zoom mods to the IDE

I started recording and posting videos a year ago after a long hiatus and surprisingly hit 2000 subscribers over the last week.

Super surprised it's getting that much attention 😄

Navigating the web on mobile is neigh on impossible with the sheer number of ads.

@yezzer Oh I’m cringing at every tweet, that sounded like absolute hell

[Dan Goodayle @DGoodayle]

@leorstone Oh that may be the case, does their implementation support trust?

@RegnerBA - have you run into this? (The screenshot further up - the certificate isn't trusted on the horde server)

[Dan Goodayle @DGoodayle]

I've been figuring out how the "Horde" tool works, basically Epic's version of Jenkins.

It's not production ready yet, but from what I'm seeing it's a very powerful tool for making #unreal projects.

Has anyone else used it yet?
I'm writing up a guide on how to get it running💪
