Fun, But Also Serious Request: Jonathan/GGG Livestream Playing Through Story

As title states, this is a (on the surface) fun, but also serious request, for Jonathan or the GGG staff to livestream on Twitch the developers themselves playing through the entire story mode (not your piecemeal, during development, play testing of the game behind the scenes).

On the marketing end it makes sense, it's making use of your Twitch channel, it's sure to draw eyeballs, and for new players it's also a look at the actual gameplay experience, makes for good gameplay footage content to be purposed for Youtube to draw more players still thinking whether to play or not.

D4 has to my knowledge done this before, invite celebs and influencers to actual play sessions, and various members of the developer team themselves play the game either recorded or livestreamed, so, it's not a novel new concept.


And for the actual players, it'll show us that you actually have played through the whole game, that you're on-the-ground with the players' rather than just talking about and conceptualizing 'the vision'.

What do you think, fam?

Would you like to see Jonathan (or at least GGG staff) livestream their playthrough of the entire story?

Keep this thread alive!

I do not disagree that it'd be nice to have video evidence of the devs playing the game.

However I don't want to subject them to the audience.

Sheltering in safe spaces is certainly going well for the game's direction

i think during one of their interviews something like this came up and they said theyd be open to doing it? Citation needed but i coulda swore it was a thing.

Jonathan said he would... and he was supposed to

Let's see it, because it's fucking miserable. It'll take him atleast two streams to do it.

They're going around in circles, release a shit patch, make it tolerable and then repeat. Wasting so much development time on things they already made tolerable.

The only thing more boring than playing this game would be watching someone else play this game. Hard pass on that stream.

I agree, I want to see them playing this. Cuz if they can clear this game, then I won't complain anymore.

it is easy for using meta build.


So that you need to add must be B/C tier build to the request

A game i worked on ~2012-2015 had a bit of a problem when it launched. Turns out, many of the people designing content and systems were not playing the actual game, they would load up high level chars, use god powers etc to test their bits, and that was it.

new head of studio implemented screens around the studio with game play statistics, and everyone (everyone, finance, systems, game design, marketing etc, everyone) was required to log a minimum amount of hours a week just playing the game on normal characters.

Massive improvement in the quality, fun, QOL type stuff happened.

I find it really hard to believe that all of the people at GGG are actually play testing this as we are, and finding this fun.
