3 playtests
Three different testers complete valid sessions against the same named build.
Hall of Impact
Credit the work, not the hype.
The verified record of who tested, what they found, what the maker changed, and whether the fix held. Ratings, likes, and launch claims do not qualify.
Four requirements. One verified Hall receipt.
Three valid sessions from different testers → one maker-acknowledged finding → a later linked build → an independent re-test. Public credit also requires each named person to opt in and no unresolved safety hold.
Finding
The maker acknowledges at least one observed problem from those sessions.
Later build
The maker links that finding to a newer build.
Independent re-test
Another tester records whether the fix holds or the problem remains.

Hall statusEarned only after an independent re-test
The first receipt has to be earned.
Open seats can bring a game into the tester queue. The Hall asks for more: useful feedback, a builder response, a later build, and an independent re-test. Launch claims, ratings, and example diagrams are not proof.
