Now that <\/span>you\u2019ve created a working physical prototype<\/b>, you\u2019ll want to digitize your efforts so you can reach more people and get the feedback you need. Luckily for us, there are a few affordable solutions out there with an established user base already established.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few options worth considering to share and\/or digitize your prototype:<\/span><\/p>\n

Google Meet<\/b><\/a> \/ <\/b>Facebook Messenger<\/b><\/a> \/ <\/b>Skype<\/b><\/a> \/ <\/b>Twitch<\/b><\/a> \/ <\/b>Discord<\/b><\/a>
\n<\/b>If you just want some visual feedback from folks, it\u2019s never been easier to organize video chats with people. And it\u2019s FREE! Use these tools to get your prototype in front of as many faces as you can. Organize a 1:1 brainstorming session, reach out to your community, host a livestream, and request feedback from influencers and people you admire. The point is, you have a lot of options and resources out there to get your prototype in front of people. There\u2019s nothing stopping you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tabletop Simulator on Steam<\/b><\/a>
\nWhile there is a small paywall and a slight learning curve, once you get the basics down, this is a fantastic resource to craft, share, and playtest your game. There are seemingly endless possibilities within this virtual sandbox.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tabletopia on Steam<\/b><\/a>
\nThis is another virtual sandbox option to consider that is a little more accessible and visually polished but not as functional. No need for an account to start, and no special programming skills are required.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even if you have no experience crafting a virtual version of your game, the options above are completely accessible and don\u2019t require any special skills to learn, just some time to get familiar with all the ins and outs. Folks that take the extra effort to make digital prototypes of their game have a definite advantage when it comes to getting the feedback required to confidently launch on Kickstarter.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
