First, a big thank you to everyone who has already playtested Buried Worlds VR. Your answers showed me exactly where the opening lost people, and a lot of what you told me is already in the game: clearer controls, better guidance, and plenty of fixes along the way. If you took part, thank you. It genuinely made the game better.
I'm now looking for more Quest players, under the same conditions as before. Buried Worlds VR is a treasure-hunting game: metal detecting, digging and panning for gold across five real places where real treasure was found. I want to see where the opening still loses people.
- Pay: US$10 via PayPal, sent within 48 hours of your submission.
- Time: about 20 minutes playing plus a 5-minute questionnaire, any time within a week.
- Hardware: Quest 2, 3, 3S or Pro.
- Access: a free key, emailed to you after selection. Yours to keep.
- What earns the fee: play about 20 minutes, get at least $10 of finds in the game's own money, screenshot the marketplace, and answer seven questions on the site. A sentence or two each; one-word answers don't tell me anything. Stuck? Message me on Discord and I'll walk you through it. That doesn't affect payment.
- Eligibility: you must be new to Buried Worlds VR: never played it, and not in an earlier round. The whole point is to see the opening through fresh eyes. You also need to be 13+ (under 18 with a parent or guardian's agreement, and the payment goes to their PayPal) and have a PayPal account the money can reach.
