Are you an active DoomWorld Playtester?

[Yandere_Doomer]

I Got a screen recorder a few days ago and i Upload youtube videos and make commentary with the youtube Subtitles. I now consider myself a Playtester!

[Maribo]

Might as well toss in, if possible.

 

Active/Partial Playtester: Active

Preferred difficulty: UV (Primarily), HMP (Secondarily)

Number of maps in a set (Max/Min): Any. More maps = more time, of course.

Genres don't like: Niche platforming, jokewads, trollwads.

Preferred source ports: DSDA-Doom, Woof, Eternity (for Eternity exclusives only).

Refused source ports: Others.

Demos or written comments: Demos and/or written comments.

Contact (Personal forum thread/ Private message): Doomworld PM, Discord. For Discord, you can PM me for it or find me in the DSDA server.

Notes: Mostly comfortable with gameplay and general level design testing/critique. I will notify of stuff like HOMs and missing/misaligned textures, but I don't typically go out of my way to hunt them down. Can test both from a casual playthrough perspective and speedrunning perspective. For multi-map sets, willing to test both continuous and pistol start.

[ANonThingie!]

So, noticed this is recently updated and just wanted to at least ask. What pre-requisites are needed for one becoming a playtester, at least in terms of this place?

Not applying to be a playtester, just wanted to make a suggestion: I know that there were a few dedicated playtesting threads around at some point, would it be worth it to link those in the main thread as well? Provided that they haven't gone completely inactive, of course.

 

Thats actually a good idea. If you have the links for those dedicated playtesting threads, i can add them to the Pinned thread.

Since the community is giving me so much in terms of playtesting, I would like to give back a bit and playtest your wads!

 

Active/Partial Playtester: Active

Preferred difficulty: HMP or UV if it's not too brutal

Number of maps in a set (Max/Min): No limit

Genres don't like: Joke wads, extreme slaughter. My all time fave is Plutonia, nuff said.

Preferred source ports: GZDoom 

Refused source ports: All others cause I'm daft at complevels and stuff

Demos or written comments: written comments only through private DMs, so I can be as candid as possible with pointing out areas of improvement. You also wouldn't like my accent. Really.

Contact (Personal forum thread/ Private message): a PM is fine. I don't bite!

[LuciferSam86]

Active/Partial Playtester: Partial

Preferred difficulty: I'm too young to die (Sometimes Hey, not too rough )

Genres don't like: Slaughter maps, Jokewads, TerryWADs

Preferred souce ports: GZDoom, Woof! and PRBoom+

[KeaganDunn]

Throwing my hat in the ring.

 

Active/Partial Playtester: Active, may be partial in the future

Preferred difficulty: Whatever the mapper sets out for, but will default to UV if not specified

Number of maps in a set (Max/Min): 5 max for now, but this is soft - it entirely depends on the size and difficulty of the maps themselves.

Genres don't like: Confusing/maze-like puzzle maps, and probably jokewads as well...that's about it. Niche stuff like Frog and Toad I can appreciate but likely will not enjoy playing.

Genres like: I have a soft spot for difficult, clever, setpiece-oriented maps (Sunlust, Flotsam, Fractured Worlds, any Ribbiks releases) and don't mind platforming at all. I will enjoy giving critique on any unique encounters or concepts the mapper sets out for. I'm always in the mood for innovation. Although, while I can handle and appreciate a number of difficult WADs, I may not enjoy dying tons of times to figure them out :P

Preferred source ports: GZDoom, DSDA-Doom (I play casually in the former but will play in a proper source port if need be)

Refused source ports: Anything else, including Chocolate Doom or pure vanilla

Style of playtesting: Recorded playthroughs, commentary or not. Will also provide written feedback.

Contact (Personal forum thread/ Private message): Private Message on Doomworld or on Discord ( Dunn & Dunn#8435 )

[Austinado]

@Thelokk, @LuciferSam86, @Dunn (& Dunn), List is updated. Thanks ;)

[Arrowhead]

Thought I'd join in too, seems fun! I'm no expert, but thought I'd offer my help here.

 

Active/Partial Playtester: Active

Preferred difficulty: I personally default to UV, unless otherwise specified. I've got no problem w/ HMP, too.

Number of maps in a set (Max/Min): Min: 1, Max 32, (although packs this large might take me some time, so make sure to consider that - DM packs would be a bit quicker than SP packs)

Genres like: multiplayer: - any deathmatch map / duel map - I'm open to playing CTF maps, also - but my knowledge in that area is lesser. SP: please no slaughter maps, or 'challenge' maps - anything else is fair game. I'm no Doom god, I'm alright at the game, but I'm not insanely good or anything, so VERY difficult map packs probably won't be my thing, unless I'm able to play them on an easier difficulty. Co-op: depending on if I can get a reliable co-op partner, I may also playtest the very occasional co-op focused level.

Preferred source ports: newest GZDOOM for SP, Zdaemon/Zandro for MP - I might even use LZDOOM's splitscreen option for MP, too - depends how my brother and I feel that day.

Refused source ports: Anything else

Style of playtesting: Thorough write-ups, although depending on the SP pack, I might record a first-attempt playthrough. I may also record a multiplayer game on one of your maps w/ my brother, if I am able to. I would send an unlisted Youtube link to you on completion, if that was the case. These videos won't have commentary... yet. I intend on getting a mic set-up soon enough, so I can provide more in-depth info as I play.

Contact (Personal forum thread/ Private message): You can reach me on Discord at: Arrowhead#5682, or you can hit me up on the Wadazine server - I'm usually there. Feel free to also message me by Doomworld DM, I've got no problem w/ that, either. I've also got no issue w/ Discord voice chat, if that's your thing! :)

[ryiron]

I've been play testing a handful of maps on this forum, and I'm happy to do more.

 

Active/partial playtester: Active - free time depending.

Preferred difficulty: I normally play on UV, but happy to test lower difficulties.

Number of maps in a set: Probably around 5 max. I tend to prefer shorter maps that take under 20 minutes to complete.

Genres like: My youtube channel (in my about me) should give a good indication of what I like. I enjoy challenging combat set pieces, but also like more casual adventure maps. I do enjoy secret hunting.
Genres don't like: Joke wads, overly gimmicky stuff, hold fire to win slaughter maps. I also suck at platforming.

Preferred source ports: DSDA-Doom. My preferred style of play is no mouselook.

Refused source ports: Anything that is a complete hassle to install/use.
Style of playtesting: Youtube video/demo lump. I will typically do a blind FDA. If the map seems to be in my skill range I'll keep trying saveless, otherwise I'll save scum it. I currently just do a text write up, but may switch to doing recorded voice commentary in future.

Contact: DM me here. I'm also on Twitter with the same username. 

[Austinado]

List is updated, thanks @Arrowhead and @ryiron.
