Indie Developer Invites Speedrunning Fans for Private Playtests
A new indie title, explicitly designed with speedrunning in mind, is opening its doors for private playtests and is actively seeking community experts to help shape its core mechanics.
Play Faster, an indie game designed specifically for speedrunning is gearing up for its initial private playtests, and its developers are reaching out to a specialized segment of the community for crucial feedback. The team behind the upcoming title is seeking dedicated speedrunning enthusiasts who relish delving into intricate movement mechanics, developing optimal routes, and even finding ways to 'break' games to discover new opportunities.
While the current build is described as being in a rough state, the core movement and fundamental game systems are reportedly in place. Developers are particularly keen on gathering insights regarding movement consistency, any factors that could impact the depth of routing options, and quality-of-life improvements essential for players who will be grinding out countless runs.
To facilitate structured communication and ensure valuable feedback isn't overlooked, the team is establishing a dedicated Discord server. This platform will allow for direct interaction between testers and developers, enabling rapid iteration based on player insights. Those interested in lending their expertise and gaining an early look at a game built from the ground up for their niche are encouraged to express their interest directly to the development team.
This early and focused outreach to a highly specialized player base underscores a commitment to crafting a game that truly resonates with the competitive speedrunning community from its foundational stages. By integrating feedback from players who actively seek to master and exploit game systems, the developers aim to deliver an experience rich with routing possibilities and satisfying, consistent movement for high-level play.
