Hi! I’m looking for up to five first-time players to test the opening of Dino Frontier RPG v0.12.

ABOUT THE GAME

Dino Frontier RPG is an early 2D top-down dinosaur adventure built in Godot 4.7. You explore the frontier, gather resources, craft a Spear, survive a Raptor encounter, and form your first bond with a dinosaur companion.

WHAT I NEED TESTED

• Start a New Expedition and play for approximately 15–30 minutes without live coaching.
• Continue until you complete the First Bond milestone.
• Tell me where the objective, controls, combat warning, taming threshold, menus, or UI felt unclear.
• Report any crash, progression blocker, save/load problem, or moment where the game interrupted your choices.

PLATFORM AND ACCESS

• Windows PC with keyboard and mouse.
• English-language build, approximately 40 MB.
• Private restricted itch.io access; reply here or message me and I will provide a unique download key.
• The prototype is unsigned, so Windows may display an unknown-publisher warning. Only continue if you are comfortable with that.

FEEDBACK AND PRIVACY

The game creates a local text report at the checkpoint with playtest events and four short questions. Nothing is uploaded automatically. No account, real name, email address, or personal identifier is requested by the game. You decide whether to share the report.

This is an unpaid early playtest. Honest criticism is welcome, and I am happy to return the favor by testing another Windows indie build.

AI DISCLOSURE

The prototype contains AI-assisted or AI-generated placeholder graphics, sounds, text/dialogue, and code, with human-directed integration and editing. This is disclosed on the itch.io project page.

Thank you for helping improve the first public-demo experience!

Would love to do feedback exchange if you’re interested :)

Would love your feedback!! 


It's attached as a ZIP — extract it and run the .exe, no install needed. Windows might warn you about an unrecognized app on first launch; that's normal for a small unsigned build, just click "More info → Run anyway."


A few things:

  • Play for 15–30 minutes, no rush, no need to finish anything
  • Please don't ask me questions while you play — if something's confusing, that confusion is exactly what I need to see
  • There's a short guide in the ZIP (PLAYTEST_GUIDE.md) with a few questions at the end — the game also generates a local report file with prompts, no account or info needed
  • Be brutally honest. "This was confusing" or "I got bored here" is way more useful to me than being nice about it

This is early and rough in places — that's expected, that's why I'm asking you before anyone else. Thanks for helping me out with this.

Will circle back this weekend to test :)

Appreciate it! :)

Hey, where am I supposed to find your game again?

Hi! I'd like to volunteer as one of the testers. I'm on Windows PC with keyboard and mouse, comfortable with the unknown-publisher warning on an unsigned build, and can play a full uncoached session (15–30 min) through the First Bond milestone. I'll note anything unclear with objectives/controls/combat/taming/UI and report crashes or progression blockers, plus answer your four checkpoint questions. Happy to share the local report afterward. Please send me the download key — thanks!

Thank you so much for showing intrest in playing my game and give it a try! Right now its under development, but i will message you once its ready to be testplayed again if you are still intrested, thank you again
