I have committed to releasing content every 4 weeks, this could be any combination of new areas, enemies, NPCs, resources, equipment and quests. So why have I chosen 4 weeks instead of monthly.Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://buymeadrinkfirst.uk/blog/20260701-devlog-4-automated-videogame-testing/https://buymeadrinkfirst.uk/blog/20260701-devlog-4-automated-videogame-testing/Hi I'm AceOfSpider of Buy Me A Drink First games and this week I'll be explaining how I test my latest video game, Relics of Kenfurm.
