📢 Creators and Media

We’ll have a #MonsterFantasy preview opportunity coming for y'all in September.

If you want to be considered for future preview, coverage, or streaming opportunities, DM us here.

We’re already starting to put that list together. 🫡

[Rick Lagnese (RLC) @rick5292]

Your public demo/beta shouldn’t be the first time hundreds or thousands of players give you real feedback.

We’ve been doing a lot more closed playtesting lately, and working with the @firstlookgg team has been fantastic.

With @RefractiveENT, (Luminary), we got 215 players into the game and 86 of them completed a 30-question survey while playing. For a two-person dev team, that’s a pretty darn useful amount of feedback before going wider.

More importantly, the dev team got organized feedback from gamers who filled out a 30-question survery while they were playing and enjoying Luminary. That’s the stuff that helps you make decisions before a public demo or launch.

Next up: #MonsterFantasy. @Jotoyogamesdev

Wave 1 runs August 28–30, one week from today, with recruitment opening Monday through us, @playtesterhq and @playerdotgg. This one is focused on playing the game and giving feedback.

There will be separate opportunities for creators and media next month!

Devs, if you’re getting ready for a demo, launch, or bigger public push, think about doing a closed playtest with us first.

We can run the whole thing for you: recruit the gamers, onboard them, get them playing, support the test, collect the feedback, and package it up so your dev team knows what people are actually saying.

Want to run one? Hit us up. 🫡

.@theejankanator uses X to spotlight indie games, help independent developers reach more players, and run giveaways. He also streams on Twitch.

“Indie developers make some of the most amazing games and worlds, but their reach is significantly less than bigger studios. Due to this, they don’t get the attention they deserve for their hard work. I advocate for them because just getting even a few more gamers to see their work, can have a major impact on their games success!”

Gray Zone Warfare is one of the most intense tactical shooters out there 🪖🔥

You drop into the huge open jungle island of Lamang as a PMC, taking on missions in PvE or PvEvP 🌴
The new Rogue Ops update adds Hideouts, crafting, smuggling and hunting 😳
Plus 7 new weapons like the Benelli M4, FAMAS and G36, huge new locations, and smarter AI that throws grenades at you 💣

We got some keys thanks to @RLC_Comms 🎁
Who wants to drop in and play it? 👀🎮

Welcome @IndieGamesWTF as the newest RLC Indie Game Advocate (IGA).

Here's what he had to say about supporting indie devs:

"I started https://t.co/tj9gRUQm2v out of curiosity: as a developer, I wanted to know how other devs build their games. Those chats turned into something worth sharing. Being an indie dev myself, I know what kind of support I’d want, and I try to offer it. And nothing beats finding a hidden gem! 💎"

Glad to have you on board! 🫡

[Rick Lagnese (RLC) @rick5292]
