Live testing of in-development games!

For in-person testing, developers can send a build of their game in advance to run on one of our machines, or bring their own laptop/materials. For the stream, developers only need to send a build to us. Online playtesters don’t download builds and do not need a streaming setup.

Ways to participate...

In-person:

  • As an attendee/playtester: Come by and check out the games on display. Easy!
  • As a developer: Send us a working (or near enough!) build in advance in order have your game set up on the machines in the office and featured on the stream... or just bring in your laptop or tabletop game. That’s it!

Online:

  • As an attendee: Watch (and comment) on YouTube! Easy!
  • As a playtester: Contact us on Discord if you want to play on-stream!
  • As a developer: Send us a working (or near enough!) build. That’s it!

Want your game tested? Get in touch with Mark LaCroix (@marklacroix) on Discord (see the #events-info channel on the IGDATC Discord).

The PCs at Noble Robot run Windows. If your game has unique input requirements, or is a Mac, Linux, web, or some other kind of build, let us know. We can make it work!
