boshi playtesting (LIMITED space! form closes 11/04)
rsvp! back to eventsWednesday, November 11, 2026 @ 6:00 PM EST
Submit your game for our FIFTH playtesting session on Wednesday 11/11 at 6-9pm, at boshi's place!
We accept about 8 games to 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 11/4.
Loose expectations (please read):
- 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. Perhaps leave written playtesting instructions, a notebook for playtesters to leave asynchronous notes, make a QR code for a feedback submission form...
