that was a top 10 intro right there lol

I love how wholesome this channel is.

"What was your favorite part and what was hard?" yes

Brackeys: "If you think the difficulty it's just right, it's probably to high" Me, all the time: "Nah, I should make it harder"

me: Changes color of a random object also me: *Time for playtesting*

yes i embrace bugs "why is the player stuck through the wall" its not a bug its a feature

“Everyone should be able to play test your game” All my relatives above the age of 30: “Observe... ...How do you shoot again?”

Am I the only one who playtests after literally every line of code?

Brackeys: are KIDS. Because they are brutally honest Me: gotta agree with that

I honestly thought the intro was an ad lmfao ;)

me: A Speedrunner "I'm about to end my own career"

Brackeys: this video is sponsored by unity" Me: isn't that what like every video you make is about?😂

Pls playtest my life it seems to have many bugs and glitches.

i really miss the "thanks for tuning in at brackeys" intro

My friend: the tutorial channels are humorless Me: 0:00

"Durrburrbrh" - Brackeys, 2020 (7:04)

I feel like when I’m working on my game I test it after any change to see it it works and then more thoroughly after any significant change to see how it feels and it also helps with coming up with new ideas as you see how things feel/find weird gameplay gimmicks

brackey: KIDS me: testing my game myself

Thanks for the shout out, and great points! The game sim tool really helped us out when we were really scratching our heads on how to balance our giant weapons system.

THE BEGINNING IS SOOOO NICE!

Thanks Asbjorn for all your awesome tutorials, am a Cameroonian and I decided to start with the development of my first game tomorrow and I'm sure that with the help of your videos it's going to be epic

the intros get spicier by the day 🔥

The intro made my day! Also, nice video about playtesting, I was actually playtesting a game for my friend when I got the notif for this video too!

I had to present a project for a Unity course I've been working on. It was a horizontal scrolling space shooter, and quickly realized that the best strategy was to not move because the enemies would rarely spawn directly in front of you. I solved by implementing two changes: - once in a while an enemy would spawn that would want to chase the player in the Y axis while moving at a constant pace. So the player had to actively try to move away until the enemy would go past the player - and a set of enemies that spawned in threes, which were really vulnerable but every a couple seconds they would get the player's position and shoot at it, the bullet going faster the further the player was from the enemies, so it woulf enourage players to destroy them or fly close to them to make the bullets slower. It solved a lot of problems in the long run, and all went quite well.

That was the best intro I've seen in a long, long time.😂😂

These are phenomenal tips! Also, for anyone who is a fan/used to be a fan of Halo, they had vidocs around the time of the release of Halo 3 where they test. They literally do all these things in any game(well debatably these days in some AAA games, as we see multiple pages of bug lists on some releases), clicking menus, testing weapons. Something that struck me is they said when they got external playtesters, they too would get the urge to defend their work. But remember, you can easily just say, "this game is in Alpha. may be VERY buggy" And sometimes, you can't plan for EVERYTHING either. In that very same vidoc, they said they tested this jump hundreds of times to see if someone could get to these crazy ledge that would be unfair and unreachable easily. They said they tested it hundreds of times and no one internally could make it, but on the launch day, someone gets up EFFORTLESSLY. So yea, lots of funny shit can go down :)

In one of my games I had a bug that enemies could walk through walls and even stop inside of them. So I repainted their sprites and made them ghosts instead of regular knights.

"brutally honest" you can see the hurt in his eyes as he is transported back to the days of the playtesting

Yo Brackeys, I'm that guy! Love your content. I've spent most of my game development working on surf maps, but I am going to start my first full game in unity soon. I will be referencing a lot of your videos on my journey. Keep up the great work!

3:17 - A rare clip of Asbjorn dying inside as he ceases his existence in this world

Hey dawg congrats on hosting another jam !

Really useful video, thanks! It's super important to get playtesting done right and often! :)

"What was your favorite part and what was hard? yes."

I just love the meme style of this video. Makes it more fun to watch while not decreasing in informativity. Would like Brackeys to keep that editing.

I love it when my friends playtest my game and beat it one minute even though it's supposed to take three hours.

7:05 Brackeys: What was your favorite part and what was hard? Also Brackeys: *YES*

Thanks for showing us some tips! Will remember them and use them in the brackeys game jam 2020.2!!!

the tutorial no one knew they wanted but the tutorial we all needed

Dev:"What was ur favourite part and was hard?" Randomdud:"Well, yes.." I c whut u did there

think this is best channel i found!!! both very funny and educative!!!! but yes ,best part (for me) of making a game is that u can always try it and of course best thing is to test it very offten from start even it will slow down ur time making a game

Great video. As always 🤓👍🧡

Petition for Brackeys to Give a tutorial about 3d Enemy AI with Guns and Shooting. Pow Pow!!!

Brackey you are the bomb! I love your videos!

I already published my first game and made most of the testing for my second game and you just made this video. Edit: Nice tips

The intro was soo good

funniest intro I have seen ! nice.

When the intro started I was like "where's the button to skip the ad??"

So much yes for that opening XD

This the best channel ever

God bless this dude, damn your videos have been really helpful!!

Me : testing game after making the movement.... Alors me :i am so proud

Brackeys, you guys honestly inspired me to start developing games and start up old yet channel to make game dev videos! I even made my own itch.io page (bot-Studio.itch.io) to release my game there! Thanks for the needed inspiration and keep up the good work!

Cool Content, Keep the Grind Up!👑

I love this Channel

Could you make a tutorial, how to make pathfinding for enemy’s (including shooting) in unity 2D ? By the way: I really like your videos. They're helpful and I learn more and more!

Host smiling 100% of the video forces me into smiling and being in a better mood without realizing (until I realize and post a comment about it)

I burst out laughing in the first ten seconds 😂😂😂 Such a funny way to open the video🤣

Wow, you found the right sponsor!

Dude I love you man..

very cool very epic!

Haven't laugh at an intro for along time. Good job.

Thank you very much team brackeys you've been my inspiration its just fun and educational watching you I wish creating more games as you do but in our country programming people like me and my friends call them nerds and don't support them .... So THANK YOU very much especially Asbjørn Thirslund .

really cool video xD!!

best intro i've seen

Cool video😍 and what an intro😱 is it a top 1 of ....😦

Best intro i saw

Best intro ever

tnx men u the best ....all time.

Just needed that! By the way, I'm planning to do Playtesting soon of a Metroidvania. If anyone is reading this and can help me, please reply this comment and I'll be in touch when the time come. :)

I was actually playtesting while watching this

That's some good humor right there.

Well done.

Will you and your team ever try to make a game? Would be cool to watch a devlog series. (Like make a game in 365 days challenge type thing~)

Great post! Is there a platform that people are posting Windows games for testing with an invite-only approach?

Hey, love your video you most likely noticed the unity toolbox sale that is currently going on. was wondering if you could do a quick review on those tools, which ones are helpful and worth the money, and which ones are just not suited for indie game devs

I Love Your Vids! Good Work!

I agree with what you said at 5:53, I actually worked in the past as a game-tester, and I would like to add that it is really valuable NOT to help the players you are observing figure stuff out in your game (including how to navigate the games stages and menus) because you can take note of what players might have trouble with or what can be improved in your game or it's mechanics. Like he said, just step back and observe, see what they like and don't like.

And your video is awesome

This guy is so adorable. Great video a always.

Thanks for the video Brackleys, I can't wait for next month's jam!

U should do a Woody block puzzle replica 🙏🏽🙏🏽😅😅😅

The Intro got me

Brackeys: What was your favorite part and which one was hard? Also Brackeys: *YES*

este es probablemente mi video favorito de braquis

the part about kids being brutally honest is so true i let my other siblings play the game I'm currently working in( which so far is about a circle'ish round being in a world full of cubes) and when I told that to my brother he looked at me and said "you just described yourself"

Bro I like watching Brackeys Its kinda fun your awesome !

THAT INTRO THOUGH IT WILL BE STUCK IN MA HEAD FOREVER

I love Your videos. Can You make a video about how to implement ads in your game

Brackey can you make a tuturial of how to make a skin selector or something like a shop where when you buy something it changes your skin or keep it in a inventory? PD: I love your videos!

you are a genius

"Very BRUTALLY honest" - Big Brack 2020

I love your videos so much. Thanks a lot. 9:36 just for me

please provide Indonesian subtitles in each of your videos. Because it is very helpful for me and my friends in understanding your video, maybe it's not just me and my friends who are helped, but Indo people will be helped if there are sub-Indonesians. Thank you

Playtesting is my favorite part. Every time I get a stable, build I start.

Great! now I have to get some friends... I laughed a bunch, thank you

Brackey pls i love you dont u ever stop making videos.

I have a question, but don’t worry about responding. Do you have to go in a certain order when creating a game (mechanics first, assets later) or can you just create some assets, write some code, and go around?

YES !

0:44 Represent!

I decided to record the playtesters facial reactions and eye focus, as so many people go um and yes or no when answering questions. You just can't get details out of a lot of people.
