boshi playtesting (LIMITED space! form closes 5/27)
rsvp! back to eventsWednesday, June 3, 2026 @ 6:00 PM EDT
Submit your game for our first playtesting session on Wednesday 6/3 at 6-9pm, at boshi's place :) This is our second time running this event - we might make this monthly if people like this!
We will accept a maximum of 5-8 games for this session - we hope this cap will foster an unhurried playtesting environment that is conducive to talking shop. We'll close this form and announce the accepted games in the boshi discord server on Wednesday 5/27.
Loose expectations:
- Submit a game at any stage of development. Grey-boxes and paper prototypes welcome.
- Games developed using AI tooling for either code or assets are disallowed. This is not a judgment on those projects, but an effort to keep this event for crafters enjoying the details their craft to gather and improve.
- The event is public. Anyone can come to playtest. Don't submit a game you're not allowed to/comfortable with sharing.
- If you're showing a video game, bring your own laptop. If you would like to borrow accessories (keyboard, mouse, monitor), let us know at least 2 days ahead of time for our pre-event setup.
- Help ensure everyone's games are sufficiently playtested. Unless all other games are getting played consistently, try to playtest at least 2 other games while you're at the event.
- Consider bringing a piece of paper with your game's information on it. That way, players can know what to expect re: genre, length, and where they can find the game when it's released.
- Consider setting up your game station so you can freely play other games without missing out on feedback (if relevant). Perhaps leave written playtesting instructions, a notebook for playtesters to leave asynchronous notes, make a QR code for a feedback submission form, or run OBS on your computer to record gameplay. Whatever you need to do!
- We may accept fewer than 8 games submitted. The host may show their own game, if they have one. Additionally, they may accept fewer games if for example several multiplayer games are accepted.
