Title: Best Play-Tester EVAR
Post by: MiteWiseacreLives! on Wed 05/11/2014 06:48:57
Just ask your son to play test your game.
He will click on everything madly, ignore all text and prompts.
He will find ways to break your game Cold-War preventative strategist could have never imagined.

As long as you can replicate what he did this sounds like the best strategy. Or give away free copies to more kids.

Are you changing the gender of my little girl in retaliation for Miguel referring to you as "she" in the Games Page? :P

(And incidentally, yes, my little munchkin managed to find a fatal error that had passed ALL other testers by within seconds of starting the game!  Andrea never anticipated someone holding down the right arrow from the moment the game started until it... well... crashed.)

It's incredible isn't it? Button mashing is usually kept for other genres... Chris Jones should have warned us.

A He, a She, what's the big deal? The importance of being AprilSkies is all it matters. :=

Thanks for the warm welcome, Adeel. Yah I took about a year off AGS, moving and stuff, now my life is settled down enough to start wasting time again :-D
edit:
Oh and I think little girls can wreck games just as good as little boys can, for the record...

My 4-year old would be scarred for life if I'd let him play my games...

He thinks The Cat Lady is the same thing as Cat Woman :P
