People are calling this Steam Next Fest “Next Slop Fest” for a reason. A lot of demos feel unfinished and generic.
Here’s how playtesting fixes it:
1. Test the first 10–15 mins with people who’ve never seen it. If they bounce or get confused, it’s dead.
2. Watch what they actually care about. Double down on what’s unique instead of adding more random stuff.
3. Fix the stuff that makes it feel like a prototype. Bugs, bad pacing, unclear goals. Make it feel finished.

You’re about to rebalance the whole puzzle.
The player just remembered they can rotate the piece 💀
“It was in the tutorial!” is where the investigation starts.

game devs will spend 3 weeks adding a new feature before spending 30 minutes watching someone else play their game 💀
meanwhile, players are getting stuck in places the dev never noticed.

"Don't tell me this is real time, right?"
Our playtester was eager to expand in Border Empires, until hitting 0 manpower and seeing the next batch was hours away.

How do you help players appreciate the game you’ve created?
Sometimes, you want them to slow down. Explore a little further. Try a mechanic differently. Take an action that reveals something they might otherwise miss.
But the reason to take that action may be obvious only to you.
That’s where prompts, cues, and guidance matter. They help players understand what’s possible, what’s worth trying, and why they might want to do it.
QA goes beyond finding what’s broken. It examines the journey from the creator’s intention to the player’s experience.

"Oh I feel like I got really stronger." Weapon upgrades in Slag Run pack a real punch, but in aerial combat, our QAping tester was still trying to tell friendly ground units from foes. #indiedev #gamedev

AI should be a tool that makes creating your own game easier, not a way to copy or steal someone else’s work. I hope we can build a healthier culture around using AI responsibly in game development.
Someone recreated my game with AI and is now threatening to publish it on Steam unless I pay him $200.
Obviously, I'm not paying.
First video: my actual game.
Second video: the AI-generated clone.
He apparently found my game through Twitter, fed it into an AI tool, and recreated what he saw.
Now he's asking for $200 or he'll publish it.
I’m sharing this as a heads-up because I assume I’m probably not the only indie dev he's doing this to.
I guess we have to be more careful about sharing our projects publicly now. You can spend months making a game, post it online, and someone can apparently try to recreate it with AI almost immediately.
Not gonna lie, it’s kind of funny, but also not funny at all.
