Course DescriptionWhile the lesson title sounds fun, playtesting is an important part of the development lifecycle. You will learn how to play your game in two ways. You will play your game to identify any errors in it, but also how to play your game from the player's perspective. You must be able to distinguish these two playstyles and use them both to enhance your prototype. By the end of this lesson, you will have played your game from both perspectives and compiled a list of the various criticisms you have with your game's mechanics.
