5. Testing the Randomizer

Testing is vital when developing a randomizer mod. You need to test that:

• The game is still winnable.
• No items are soft-locked behind areas the player can’t access.
• Randomized elements remain fun and balanced.

Some strategies for testing:

• Automated Testing: Write scripts that simulate game conditions or outcomes to test large numbers of random configurations.
• Playtesting: Personally play through different randomizations or involve community testers.
