no signal playtesting steps

If you’ve been asked to playtest no signal, DO NOT DISTRIBUTE THE BUILDS and DO NOT STREAM, unless specified otherwise by me.

To complete the playtest, follow the following steps: 1

  1. I should have included a save file named save_test.bin along with the download of the game. To use the save file, place it in the following directory:
    • Windows: %APPDATA%\exodrifter\no-signal\
    • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/exodrifter/no-signal/
    • Linux: ~/.local/share/exodrifter/no-signal/
  2. Record a playtest. See How to record a playtest for more details.
  3. Upload the recording of the playtest to the Dropbox URL I have provided to you. I may retain the video recording in order to analyze it, but I will not store it perpetually.
  4. Send me your answers to the post-play questionnaire:
    • What platform (Windows/Mac/Linux) are you playing on?
    • What is the layout of the station?
    • What are your goals in the game?
    • What do you want to see in the game that you haven’t seen yet?
    • Did you run into anything buggy or confusing? What were they?
    • Any other feedback you’d like to provide?
    • I will credit you as a playtester, if you wish. How do you want to be named in the credits?
