Are you tired of new games coming out broken? Well now is your chance to criticize someone else's game for free! hah I just finished the first playable version of my game and really need unbiased people to try it and give me their opinions and advice. As for the game - it's called The Milgram Experiment. Leave a comment or DM me so we can set something up!
My brother and ex-wife were both psych majors so I’ve heard lot about this experiment. I’ll give it a shot. Mac, windows or Linux. I’m pan-OS-ual 😀
I'd like to help you mate
Yesss
I love games like this, but again this is lemmy. If it runs on linux I will playetest it!
Has anyone downloaded it yet? Just to make sure it's not a virus before I run it ;)
Yes, I've had a few playtesters from here. Hope someone confirms that it's not a virus
We got a confirmation! That's good enough for me :)
I've been playing it this morning. Virus scan came back clean, and the game has been interesting so far.
Eff, please tell me I didn't miss it
If it run on Linux, I would be happy to give you feedback.
I'd give it a go.
I'll check it out.
You want someone to test your games for ways to break it? I know just the guy!
"Hey there, it's Josh. Today we're checking out The Milgram Experiment. Thank you devs for the complimentary game code. This is a horror/moral choice simulator. And we all know how trustworthy MY morals and choices are! But enough about that, it's time for NEW GAME!!!"
20 minutes later
"Well, everything's on fire. Everyone's dead. And the frame rate is a staggering 3 frames per year! So that seems like a great place to call it a day. I hope you had fun, I know I did, and I'd like to thank the devs for this copy of their broken game. I'll see ya next time!"
Read in his voice.
I do admire his line of reasoning. Just every time. Like I used to do silly things in the sims and theme park, but his natural curiosity is next level. HOLD PLEASE.
I play a lot of games (over 4,000 games in my Steam library) and I've made a hobby of reviewing them here on Lemmy over the past year. I especially love horror games. I would love to give it a playtest and provide constructive feedback.
It's up to you if you'd like me to also post a review of it here on Lemmy or wait until a finished product is available. You can see my post history to see the kind of reviews I write, or you can check out my blog where I'm archiving my reviews here. Easier to browse the history of posts on the sidebar at that website.
Are you retired or young?
I cant imagine that much time! Good for you for being creative with it.
Are you retired or young?
I'm retired AND young... well, relatively speaking. I retired 3 years ago, at 38 years old. I'm 41 now.
I was in the US military for 20 years, earned a pension, plus 100% disability through the VA. With the passive income and benefits (free medical/dental for life), I can afford to be fully retired now. I'm not filthy rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I make enough to live a quiet, relaxed life and have my basic needs met. And that's good enough for me. Plenty of time to indulge in my many hobbies. And I have ADHD, so I'm always finding new and interesting things to deep-dive into.
I actually started a movie review blog about 6 years before I retired. I ended up taking a hiatus from it shortly after retirement and just haven't been motivated to get back into it lately, despite all the movies and TV shows I watch regularly.
I switched to reviewing video games sometime last year and have been mostly keeping up with that; although it's been over 2 months since my last review. I should probably make a new post soon, or declare another hiatus. 😬
Hi, this is very very early beta. I don't want anything from it shared in the public. It's just not ready for the wider audience. That's why I'm doing playtesting, so this thing can git gud before people try it :D
That's cool, no reviews yet then. Not a problem!
I choose to playtest it
Sounds fun! Can see how well it runs on Linux.
I played another guy's game (game dev thesis project) based on the Milgram experiment. It definitely didn't have this level of graphical fidelity. I'd be happy to give some feedback. I'm running Bazzite at the moment so if you need someone to look at for proton compatibility, etc. I'm happy to be the guinea pig there as well.
I don't play many games etc but just wanted to say congrats on finishing it!
Also, cool subjects material!
Thank you! You are very kind
Down to test and review whatever you need.
I'm more than willing!
You are amazing! DM'd you! : )
My wife is interested and would love to try it.
DMd you :)
Seems like my type of game. I love me some psychological horror and philisophical dilemas.
I'd be more than happy to provide feedback. I consider myself somewhat of a conesseur :P
Now I'm thinking with portals.
Definitely interested. Would love to take an early peek.
If you need any Linux/proton teters I'm willing to test it. I can run it on Steam Deck, crappy laptops and of course game pc's.
But don't know if you want the variable of Linux/proton in the mix know. Or only windows in case Linux/proton is creating more bugs.
Anyway looks like a nice game and good luck with the development either way!
This looks awesome, I'd love to help test it :3
Thank you so much, already sent you a DM!
I should have Neigsendoig test this for CoculesNation. He'd be happy to test this part of it out.
Feel free to DM me so I can give you the email he uses for Cocules Media, of which I was a video editor for.
I'm down to try it.
I'm interested. I'm also on Linux so I'll be able to provide feedback about Proton and Steam Deck compatibility.
I'd totally give it a go
Definitely interested!
This kind of game sounds right up my alley. I would love to help in some way.
I'd love to play test, does it work on the steamdeck?
It's not on steam yet. Only PC Windows right now
The chances are pretty high that it already works on Linux via Proton, even without any testing.
I like the idea, and the graphics look really sharp. Definitely would give it a try.
I love the name!
For those whom are not in the know, the milgram experiment is a real study.
Where people were assigned as gaurds and others as prisoners.
The study showed how those in power are very likey to abuse it!
I'll play test it. I remember these experiments.
Can I try it
