How do you do your playtesting - Quick Survey

I've just completed the survey...best of luck with your analysis.

I was interested in participating. But the survey is clearly meant for the real deal.

The question of for who I was designing got me going on. "Family and friends". But later on, I thought that the information would be of no use at all to you. It sounded like you are only asking the true professionals.

Where does a never ending evolution of a game fit in all of this? Mine is a hobby. I play, and it is a test in one. We discuss parts that are new. And change accordingly. It will never end, or it would have years ago.

Perhaps changing some questions of average, into a minimum and maximum. Example: the question about an average play test time and the average gaming time of a game. Have you thought of the possibility that games can have different modes? Or that there is a lot of variation in time? Due to this, I can play 20 minutes, but "3 days" is also an answer. The same goes for the testing. Sure I have an average of 150 minutes. But it doesn't tell you how big or small the game can be if something might go well or wrong. I got my times recorded on paper and the reasoning behind them.

On the other side. I do understand that you wanted to keep the survey simple and clean.

I didn't finish the survey. I stopped at halfway page 3. I don't feel like my results belong in there. And if they did, you would receive an absolute minimum of a guy who does this for fun, not a professional.

If you still like me to answer the questions as good as possible. But want the results to be left out. I could pm them instead.

I wish you the best of luck with analysing the results. No doubt that you can pick mine out of the majority.
