Others already answered the main question but I thought you might also find this useful, if you aren’t already aware of it: How to get total word count - #2 by RETowers I have it bookmarked and use it regularly :smiley: For me it’s sometimes helpful to filter out only certain types of code, e.g. my “note to self” comments when they get so long I’m worried they’ll skew wordcount by 1-2k words. I treat my games a little like a monthly planner sometimes lol.

Unrelatedly, does anyone know the right section to post a beta/request for beta testers? I’ve done some looking and it seems there are posts in both the Game Development and Hosted Games (WIPs) categories.

@HarrisPS omg this whole time I thought there were supposed to be 2 separate threads :joy: Well that’s good news, I don’t have to go making a whole new post. Thanks for the answer!

Edit: I did it :no_mouth: I’m oddly nervous, I feel like nobody’s going to sign up after everything I’ve heard about feedback being hard to get :sweat_smile: But I do have a few wonderful beta testers from outside the post, so even if I get crickets I’m sure it’ll be alright!
