What Playloop is
Playloop organizes playtest recordings, player feedback, and game events into findings that teams can review when deciding what to change. It is aimed at indie developers and studios. Teams can examine sessions, feedback, and recorded events together to investigate confusion, stalled progress, or crashes. AI suggests findings to investigate, while supporting evidence lets the team assess whether a finding merits action. Playloop lists connections for Unity, Unreal, Godot, Python, TypeScript, and REST. It can send crash alerts to Slack or Discord and issues to Linear, GitHub Issues, or Notion; HMAC-signed webhooks and questions through Ask Playloop or an MCP client are also listed. The Free plan is free and includes unlimited games, 5 GB storage, 30-day history, and two seats. Free accounts have daily limits on Free and trial AI. A 14-day trial begins with the first playtest and includes 3,000 credits. Paid plans and credit purchases require a United States billing address. The service is built and run by Turtlevania Games LLC, an independent game studio.
