My comment:
The blog was very well written which made it fun to read. I liked that you explained what playtesting is and some of the different ways developers do playtesting, although you did not mention “alpha” playtesting which was something we went through and many different studios run for their games.
You explained why playtesting was important to developers and the development process in general really well, and in a way that main of us relate to, especially the part about getting to familiar with your own game and not spotting some of the bugs.
What I would have liked to know is the reason you and your team decided to ask these questions to your testers, and the difference between the questions you asked in the alpha and beta playtests, as well as the effect the feedback you got had on your development process and how you reacted to this feedback, was some of it expected or was it useful to the game in ways you did not think about before hand. You mention that very briefly in the end, but I would like to know more details about the effect the alpha and beta playtests had on your development process.
