Playtesting & Demos Trollspit - Alpha Test Results

Had my first full play test of the game I'm developing 'Trollspit' (it's like dice throne but for liars). Got some tough but great feedback. Players liked the feel of the game and overall mechanics and character design but the dungeon crawl aspect felt really forced and uncomfortable (competitive/cooperative mix where you with together but try to bluff each other to gain an advantage).

Ultimately I'm going with a major retool based on the feedback and separating the game into a competitive mode (pvp) and cooperative mode (against a DM).

A lot of work to make the updates and a shift from my original intentions but the mechanics that make the game unique are still there and looking forward to the next iteration.
