@dislekica Sounds great - would be awesome to have you! :D
@Kobusvdwalt9 Cool, would be cool to see you again! :D Regarding the focused feedback slots, how we do them now is we take games that want specific, focused feedback on a specific element of a game. So if you have something you want that focused feedback on - cool, let us know! Otherwise, the post-meetup playtesting/pitchathon provides plenty of general feedback.
As I said above, these days we reserve the focused feedback for games that want specific focused feedback on something, rather than general feedback :). Sounds like you just want general feedback, which the playtesting afterwards is great for :).
Basically, like-minded people with experience in it, which is invaluable :)
You're welcome to also post your thoughts and questions here on this forum any time :)
