Dear developers at 343 Industries, I would like to share a suggestion or request for the upcoming titles that will be released, like Halo Infinite.
Please, consider creating a flight / beta for brand-new APIs that are being built for upcoming games. Independent developers from this sub-forum that are known to have created or published an application, could get invited to help test and provide feedback during the last stages of the APIs/backend design or deployment. Think about it as similar to the Master Chief Collection flights, but at a much smaller scale. A ring of external developers who would also provide quality and scalability feedback.
Benefits: In addition to receiving valuable feedback from developers, games like Halo: Infinite could have a variety of fan-made (third-party) applications available on launch day, thus increasing the impact and reach, creating a richer launch experience. For instance, mobile applications, discord bots, etc.
Would like to hear your thoughts about this, either if the idea is viable or not.
Thank you
