Finding a "Let's Play" person to play and make a video of my homebrew?
Have any of you guys had luck finding someone to do a let's play of your homebrew game?
I'm trying to get find an experienced gamer to do a blind playthrough and make a
LP video of it so I can see how a someone completely new to the game reacts and plays, and how
intuitive the controls are.
Unfortunately the let's play forums I've been to are hostile towards any type of
"interest checks" or requests to LP a game so there is no way to enlist help on those
forums.
Emailing/PMing my favorite LPers has not worked either.
Any ideas as to how I could find someone to do this.

However, if you opened it up here, you could probably get someone willing to do it for as little as a free copy of your homebrew (I'm guessing) but you would get minimal exposure from that.
If you are wondering, yes, I am the same one as here:
I'm not sure if that's quite what you're looking for, but eh. Good luck though!
if you're interested in having me do it go ahead and shoot me a PM.

What he said. Most "e-celebrities" are self entitled jerkoffs who need to be financially compensated for playing a game then talking over it.

Well, why shouldn't they be compensated?
Sorry to crap thread. But I hope you find someone interested in doing a LP for you

Because somebody asking for payment to do a review lacks journalistic integrity and their "review" is a worthless waste of time.
They get paid on the back-end from their channel being successful and giving them ad revenue (or selling merch, or whatever).
A reviewer being paid by the person who's product they are reviewing is pretty unethical.
I've written reviews before.

If you want compensated for your prototype, sell the prototype or game carts. The data on it isn't tied to any money, it's the cart.
But I've posted on this on NESDev, but yeah I'd say the best thing you could do is maybe just stat reviewing your own game. As word spreads, you will get more people viewing it.
I know the game is still a bit glitchy and rough and I'm working on it little by little. If any of you guys that make LP videos can overlook the glitchyness and roughness and playthrough the game it would be a huge help. So far Mog and Airrider have found and beaten all 6 bosses!
