Playtesters

This is a page that includes a list of people who have volunteered to playtest romhacks.

You can do so at https://forms.gle/LjfVicZ32XFRBg9w9.

(Note: Playtesters are asked to say whether they're able to run Parallel plugin or not because it's very hardware demanding and not everyone can use it. However, they will use whatever plugin you ask them to, so people who can use Parallel plugin will also playtest on ANGLE GLideN64/OGRE or others if needed. See more info about plugins in the Plugin Guide.)

"I might be busy with my own non-SM64 projects from time to time, but I can always be joined and talked to in Discord to plan for a playtest, either through the community's discord server or through DMs. 

Most of my streams on Twitch will be for playthroughs of completed hacks, so live test plays would be done on Discord itself, or done on my own through a YouTube video shared to the creator.

Depending on what a creator needs, I can do a simple playthrough, with or without voiced commentary, or I can give proper, extensive criticism on gameplay, visuals, and music, as well as give feedback on how to improve them (save maybe for music as I'm not well versed in seq64)."

"While I am willing to playtest low-end kaizos of tier 1-2 , it may take me a fairly long time to complete them, especially compared to more skilled players like Andrew for example, so do take that into consideration.

If you'd prefer that I stream the hack (without voice), instead of doing an offline playthrough while making notes about my thoughts, I don't mind doing that, although I may not always do it."
