@ClockworkAcorn Congrats! What engine are you using?

[BugQuest @bugquestgg]

@Rinthine_Game Love the look of this and just saw your trailer too. What engine are you using?

[BugQuest @bugquestgg]

@catchthevoid Would love to playtest. Also meant our Unity plugin (BugQuest) is perfect for Steam playtests!

[BugQuest @bugquestgg]

@catchthevoid Cool. If you're running a playtest any time soon give us a look

[BugQuest @bugquestgg]

@GiusCaminiti There's difficult games that make you want to try again and there's difficult games that make you want to quit. Watching gameplay video of players during difficult parts can help discern which you have.

@clemmygames And make the most of your playtests (with video replays with no tester setup) https://t.co/M6755KBIGL

@tinypotiontree Wow this looks great. What engine are you using? Any playtest coming up?

[BugQuest @bugquestgg]

@ericnofsinger Thanks. Based on early feedback it seems to be!

@AriNeonShark Awesome check us out for Steam playtests!

@KelvinMulungu This looks sick - what engine is it and how did you get the look?

[BugQuest @bugquestgg]

Next Fest devs, your players are quitting your demo and you don't know why.

Find out tonight! Integrate BQ in minutes and update your demo before Next Fest ends.

We've received some recurring questions about BugQuest videos. Here are a few common ones:

Will this impact game performance?
- Modern GPUs have dedicated video encoders that can record without impacting performance. BugQuest only records when an idle video encoder is available.

What are the requirements?
- Error Clips and Replays currently only work in Unity using D3D11 with modern Nvidia GPUs capable of hardware video encoding. Unsupported GPUs will automatically disable video features.

What about privacy concerns?
- Ultimately this is up to the game developer since we don't know what will be on the screen in your game. The utility will only record footage from within your game. Also, popular monitoring software such as Sentry already grabs screenshots when an error occurs. So while the video feature is unique to BQ, images from gameplay for debugging is not unusual.

@ShortCircuitSt Played the demo and really liking it. I went off the rails some during the tutorial and figured I should shameless plug our tool that lets you watch gameplay from your demo players. Great work though.

[BugQuest @bugquestgg]

@EatPantGames We just added a new Unity feature where you can get video replay from your demo players - check us out

[BugQuest @bugquestgg]

@TJGameDev This looks crazy. It's Unity - check out our experimental replay feature for our Unity plugin to see how players actually play your game.

[BugQuest @bugquestgg]

@_theMatteBlack Looks great. Steamdb says it's Unity - check out our next video replay feature to see how players are actually interacting with your game.
