Liz Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 if the game creators are actually good at playing their games? after all, just because they make the games doesn't mean they are automatically great though it does help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Judy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 They might be good at it? Not entirely sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 OMB, I always think about that! :o Especially when playing difficult/confusing games. Like God Hand (just difficult, not the least bit confusing). And some others. I dunno, I don't think a whole lot of them are good at their own games. It just depends on what kind of person they are, I guess (i.e. if they have quick reflexes and/or experience and whatnot). Or if they spent enough time with their games to know their way around it. blah blah blah etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Ever watch a ROMhacker demo their own hacks? You'll have the gist of what it's like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess what he was doing before that?As for game developers in general, playtesters exist for a reason.

uguu Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Ever watch a ROMhacker demo their own hacks? You'll have the gist of what it's like. lolyah. I watched the creator of Super Metroid Redesign play it. (He started commentating, and at some points played, in the Super Metroid Redesign let's play) And he said he went to a thing (I forget what) and one of the designers of some Metroid games told him that if it's easy for you then you should make it 1000 times easier because it'd be much harder for someone else. Anyways, puzzle games would probably be extremely easy for game designers because they'd already know all the solutions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephrion Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I don't know about commercial games, but people like ROMhackers who have to playtest their own games are usually pretty good at them. Pretty much has to do with how much time the developers spend testing themselves, instead of getting other people to do it for them. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
