As a developer, it&#8217;s pretty amazing to be able to watch as a new player picks up the game and gives insight into how they approach it and what they&#8217;re thinking. It&#8217;s one thing when people explain their thoughts on a game afterwards, but it&#8217;s quite another to see it firsthand and figure out what game systems players are overlooking, not understanding, or just not enjoying. There&#8217;s more than a few things MrGazillion missed that are probably far more my fault than his.<\/p>\n<p>Developing <cite>Another Star<\/cite> felt like fumbling around in the dark a lot of the time. A few people did try the game and give they&#8217;re thoughts, and for that I will be ever grateful, but with so little total feedback it was really hard to figure out what was working and what was not. In many ways, I think the game suffered from my lack of direction. Thankfully, I have a feeling that <cite>Another Star 2<\/cite> will have no shortage of volunteers to test it out.<\/p>\n<p>MrGazillion has Let&#8217;s Plays of quite a few indie and niche RPGs on his channel, so <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/sanch3x\">you should totally go check it out<\/a> if that&#8217;s your thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Let&#8217;s Player by the name of MrGazillion has just completed a blind Let&#8217;s Play of Another Star!
