Blind Playtest Marketplace for Indies
A lightweight SaaS that helps indie game developers recruit genre-matched strangers, distribute private builds, and collect structured first-session feedback. The product solves the strongest recurring pain: developers do not trust self-enjoyment or friend feedback as a proxy for market appeal.
이것이 중요한 이유
You can spend months building a game that feels great in your own hands and still have no confidence that strangers will respond the same way. Feedback from friends is often too polite, self-testing is biased, and public uploads rarely attract the exact players you need. What you really want is a fast way to put a build in front of people who actually like your genre, watch what happens in their first session, and decide whether to keep investing. Without that, every design and business decision feels like a guess.
