Skin Deep Stresstester.

This week I’ll be writing about a robot we wrote to help break the game.

Skin Deep has a lot of moving parts in it. One of the challenges was making sure the game remained stable in these many interactions. To help us out with this, we made a robot named “Stresstester” that just continually played the game all day and all night long.

…

What does Stresstester specifically do?

• it loads a random map
• it makes the player invincible
• it makes the player roam around the level willy-nilly
• it occasionally attacks enemies
• it occasionally restarts the level
• it occasionally does a savegame and occasionally does a loadgame

…

The end result is you potentially get to accrue multiple crash logs throughout the day/night.

This is quite cool, reminds me of the ‘Walk Monster’ created for The Witness.

Anything Brendon posts about Skin Deep I simply have to link to and talk about here, hence today’s a singleton post, nothing more to see here!

Go buy Skin Deep!
