Preferred difficulty: Everything but Nightmare. Number of maps in a set (Max/Min): 6 to 8 maps. Genres don't like: None. Preferred souce ports: GZDoom. Refused source ports: The rest of them lol. Demos or written comments: Written comments and video recording.. Contact (Personal forum thread/ Private message): Just Private Message me on DW Active/Partial Playtester: Active playtester (mostly). I guess it's partially active. Preferred difficulty: UV, but I don't fear dropping down if necessary. Number of maps in a set (Max/Min): 1-22 maps. Genres don't like: Slaughter, most of the time. Also terrywads and jokewads. Preferred souce ports: PRBoom+, Eternity, ZDoom and its offsprings, Crispy Doom. Refused source ports: Any obscure ports that takes too long to setup (including DOS-based ports) and Doomsday. Demos or written comments: Probably demos (and videos if my internet is good enough), but text-based comments are always a must. Sometimes voice may be included in demo. Contact (Personal forum thread/ Private message): Doomworld Private Messaging is fine, but I preferred Discord contact. My Discord username is TheNoob_Gamer#7375, open for anyone. Notes: I'm fine with maps featuring gameplay tweaks; and if you think your slaughterwad with exceptional gameplay and/or exceptional selling point, feel free to send it over. I tend to be pretty harsh but stay objective (and helpful) overall. Also I like freelook, so let me know if your map specifically requires traditional autoaiming. I might play your jokewad if it has passable gameplay. Active/Partial Playtester: Active - But I tend to test things that look interesting to me. Preferred difficulty: UV unless requested elsewise. Number of maps in a set (Max/Min): I prefer to receive one or two new maps at a time as they are finished. No limit what the total (planned) length of the set can be.

Anyone is free to hook up or friend request me in either place, where I can give further information. Discord is preferred when possible. Notes: I can type out feedback in video if English voice is not well understood. Active/Partial Playtester: Partial (at the moment, due to needing to take care of other IRL/livestream business in 2021) Preferred difficulty: Depends on what the mapper sets out, but usually UV by default. Number of maps in a set (Max/Min): I don't usually like playtesting full megawads, so somewhere between 1-12 (unless the maps are short, in which case I can do a few more).

[Important] If you can't take honest opinions, or you don't want to reply and discuss after receiving the feedbacks, don't ask me to test your maps.

Preferred difficulty: UV-fast (not saveless). Number of maps in a set (Max/Min): I'm not picky, but anything more than an episode or two will take quite a while and I'll have to prioritize any shorter requests that come in. Genres don't like: Slaughter, puzzle-focused, joke/Terry, open to anything else. Preferred souce ports Crispy, Eternity, and DSDA-Doom. Refused source ports: ZDoom or Boom ports. Demos or written comments: Written comments and YouTube videos Contact (Personal forum thread/ Private message): Private message or comment on a YT video I guess.

Preferred difficulty: I personally default to UV, unless otherwise specified. I've got no problem w/ HMP, too.. Number of maps in a set (Max/Min):Min: 1, Max 32, (although packs this large might take me some time, so make sure to consider that - DM packs would be a bit quicker than SP packs) Genres: multiplayer: - any deathmatch map / duel map - I'm open to playing CTF maps, also - but my knowledge in that area is lesser. SP: please no slaughter maps, or 'challenge' maps - anything else is fair game. I'm no Doom god, I'm alright at the game, but I'm not insanely good or anything, so VERY difficult map packs probably won't be my thing, unless I'm able to play them on an easier difficulty. Co-op: depending on if I can get a reliable co-op partner, I may also playtest the very occasional co-op focused level. Preferred souce ports: newest GZDOOM for SP, Zdaemon/Zandro for MP - I might even use LZDOOM's splitscreen option for MP, too - depends how my brother and I feel that day.

I may also record a multiplayer game on one of your maps w/ my brother, if I am able to. I would send an unlisted Youtube link to you on completion, if that was the case.

Misty Posted July 10, 2021 3 hours ago, Mystic 256 said: ooo how does one become a playtester By looking at this forum section(wads and mods) and providing feedback for people - telling what's worthy of improvement or changes, what's done well and what you liked/disliked in map and ect. You can provide videos, demos(if map and port supports it), screenshots with feedback (like if something is broken or if you liked that particular place). Thing is that you can do it right now as there are plenty of stuff released everyday, there no special requirements to be playtester, besides being respectful to mappers and willing to play and write or talk if you use videos as way to give feedback. 2 Share this post Link to post
hurtchow Posted July 31, 2021 Hi guys, I've browsed around and sadly haven't been able to figure this out myself: I have a few maps I've made that I'd like for someone to play and review. Do we not have a review thread or level submission thread anywhere? What's the process exactly? Is this even a thing? Thanks in advance. 0 Share this post Link to post
azerty Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) @hurtchow I think you should just make a topic like I did and ask people for feedback. I would like to help as well and can make a video of my play through. 0 Share this post Link to post

GarrettChan Posted August 3, 2021 1 hour ago, hurtchow said: Cool, good idea. Where is the thread you made? Make a thread in WADs & MODs and title it as you want feedback for you maps. Ideally put map format in title and the top post, and some brief information about your mapset in the top post. However, it seems people don't like to put map format in title, and I don't know why. 1 Share this post Link to post
