One of the most frustrating things I see in the game dev world is trying to replace QA with "game testers."

QA is a real, extremely important role, yet companies want to treat it like musicians and artists who are "paid in exposure," as if simply playing your game early is pay enough.

Pay your QA.

Tweet by @MortalCrux โ€œFun fact since #Xbox360 is trending. ๐ŸŽฎ The majority of gameplay clips you see me post of Mortal Crux are being played with a 360 controller. #indiegamedeveloper #unity3d #gamedevelopment #mad...

A recent vid I posted showcasing gameplay with an Xbox controller shows off the mechanics a bit more. At times the combat also feels a little Fable-like because evasion is faster than Souls games and not penalized by stamina usage.

Thank you!

Melee/character movement is like Baldur's Gate with heavier/more grounded animations closer to Souls combos, with more of a focus on being able to roll/dash/evade than just stand still and block.

Ranged combat feels very much like playing the sorceress class in Baldur's Gate.

SimplyAJ I make video "essays" about things that I find interesting, mostly pertaining to video games. Sometimes, it'll be about weird obscure topics, such as Ski Free on a Gameboy Color, or terrible strategy ...

Huge shoutout to @simplyaj.bsky.social for getting me on the platform! I look forward to meeting all the game devs here!
