BGA LAB: Experimenting incoming features and give feedbacks!

[Sensei70]

BGA is the present and future of board gaming! Being able to play a new game, and older game is the best way to truly get to know a game.

I am a developer and work in both technology and in the hobby gaming space. Designing, developing, play testing and marketing games.

I am a part of a community of players that play many games on a regular basis.

BGA is part of my gaming life on a daily basis.

I would be very grateful to help support BGA in any way.

Thanks in advance.

Of course I'm interested!
For me as an avid boardgame geek those are my two online platforms of choice: BGG and BGA. I'd love to help and contribute to the evolution of boardgamearena. Count me in!
Thx

Hey there! If you're looking for more volunteers I'd love to help out!

BGA is my preferred platform when it comes to playing digital board games (having played quite a few games on here) and I'd gladly contribute to its betterment. Other than actually playing games on here, I very much appreciate the hard work people put into making tutorials for the community. I don't at all mind reading rulebooks, but very much learn by doing and the tutorials on here have been unbelievably useful in learning a wide array of new games (couple that with the fact that you're limited to only valid or legal moves during play, and you have yourself a wonderful recipe for learning games by playing games).

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to mention that I do software quality assurance for a living and as such could hopefully put some of that experience to good use on board games!

Regardless, I'm pleased to hear that Asmodee is looking to improve BGA and I'm excited to see what is to come!

I'm a software-tester/testmanager & i love boardgames

[Deisevfarias]

Oh, please, pick me hi, I'm from Brazil, new at online boardgames, crazy in love with boardgames, but with almost zero friends to play with currently.

Ii have bought some games over my life, I call it "expectations" because I would buy it expecting to find someone to play with. Well, BGA was my gold this year, and it would be great to do something back for BGA giving my feedback on the games.

I'm a pretty good tester so far, I've been doing usability tests for Clickbird and other websites, also I'm a mistery shopper, so the technicalities I can do it.

Talking about the fun, well, there is never a bad time to play a boardgame, I'm really passionate about it, and I'm craving to more since I've discover that I love this. I really want this amazing opportunity, any time that you need. I'm 23, have a lot of free time, I love a Pretty great variety of games and I'm really open to new ones all the time.

Thank you for this!

I'd love to be part of the group as well - if for nothing else, just to improve the gender balance, seeing the majority if the comments here
BGA has been an important part of my life for years, with always at least a dozen tables open and occasional real-time games with family and friends. (Some of whom are not tech-savvy and complain about BGA...)
IRL I'm an analyst and I also QA test so I know how to write a good ticket.

(I mostly play on my android phone, switching to desktop for RT games.)

I'd love to help with test driving new features! I can tick some of the boxes mentioned in previous posts, like Alpha tester, bug report submitter, regular player on mobile (Android) and PC (Win10), translator and avid player of as many titles as possible. I'm not a developer, but I have some background from GUI coding and QA.

Also, I publish tabletop games and have associated experience with game design and development, rulebook writing and editing, and rules explanation.

Additionally, I've founded and run a couple of groups here on BGA, and I've discussed the group and forum discussion functionality with other BGA users. So I feel that I have useful experience not only for new game features but also innovations related to other parts of the BGA platform.

I would like to help. I am primarily a windows user but I am a consistent player and often trying new games and would be happy to test out new features and give feedback.

I vote for Thoun And GTSchemer, they will do great

I'd love to help! I speak English and French. I play on desktop (Windows/Firefox) and on mobile (Android) with the notifications for turn-based games. When I play on my own, I use the matchmaking a lot for turn-based game and it depends on the game's popularity for live games. I usually alternate between months of playing heavily to months of not using the website much. I've introduced quite a few friends to BGA to play a couple of games so I have a some opinions on the new user experience.
