Process 

I requested a playtest in QA Central through their Discord request system. During the vetting process, I connected with their staff and relayed information to the organization team on what needed to be added ingame for the test such as debugs and small tweaks to the mechanics.

After the test was approved, I facilitated the test of 13 testers for an hour and a half long playtest ingame.  I supplied the debugs and feedback criteria for the playtest and answered questions and liaison with the developer during the test. Bugs and feedback were documented in the Discord playtest thread.

After the test, I set up a repository for "Just Keep Running" to document the findings from the test in the Issues tracker for the developer.
