Do digital board games developers sometimes treat players as testers? Our thoughts about testing - “K2: Digital Edition” case study

We have just released an upgraded demo of "K2: Digital Edition". We believe we fixed all major issues.

But the first version of the demo was out in December, and we were pretty certain we already had a decent game at that moment. But it had a few problems we didn't even know about.

We tested a lot with players to see how well they did. And we think there are a few reasons why we (and sometimes other developers) missed at some points:

- We have been looking at K2 almost every day since late 2022. We do not see our own mistakes.

- Tested people knew they are tested and pay more attention to read popups than regular players (and thus rules were more clear for them)

- Testers knew we were developers. And people do not want to hurt your fillings and are more friendly than independent reviewers.

- Too few testers - if you have limited resources, there are always too few testers. And you always missed some issue which are

- No time / no money: In software development all projects take twice as long as you assumed. Every single time :) So in a lot of cases you simply do not have money to fix those. Sometimes you already have a release date and you do not have time to work on issues. So you improve after release.

From the user's perspective it always looks like developers are lazy :) We have experience, but every game is different. And it's why we make mistakes in the process. Simple as that. Hope we are at least learning.

Devon Games is just me and a friend working in our free time. When we realized there is more issues that we expected we simple delayed release date by 2 months (we did not announce it anyway so no damage done)

We have just released an upgraded demo of K2: Digital Edition.
Thank you all for the feedback.

What have we improved?
- We actually rewrote the tutorial. Additionally we create micro tasks to give more context for the user
- Improved visibility of the board. Rethink which informations are really needed and slightly modify how we present other
- add extra information how far is to each space and what the shortest path is
- tooltips (will be more)
- tons of small fixes not worth to enumerate them here
- It appears that players love or hate our camera controller. So we add alternative mode (but it is story for completely new post)

We are one big community connected by one hobby: board games.
Board game players, authors, publishers. Analog board players, digital game board players and ... digital board games developers.

Me and my friend start makeing digital board game in our free time. And we want to share our perspective with you. We are going to make some dev-blog: what was the most fun and what was not fun at all ;) while creating digital board game.

But we do not know what you are interested in. Should we write more about how Artificial Inteligence works? Or maybe what was our biggest issue while create UI (it was vertical board and horizontal monitor). Why we modifysome rules?

Ask anything. We will cover it in our diary!
