BuildDrop

BuildDrop is a web app (with a lightweight desktop uploader) that helps small and mid-sized game studios distribute private builds to QA, playtesters, creators, and external partners without wrestling with platform-specific tooling. You upload a build, set access rules, and share a single link. Recipients get a clean installer/patch flow, version notes, and automatic update prompts. The app tracks who downloaded what, basic crash/log attachments, and ensures the right people have the right build at the right time. It’s not trying to replace Steam/Epic; it’s focused on the messy pre-release phase where teams juggle Google Drive links, passwords, and “which build are you on?” confusion. Realistically, the product lives or dies on reliability, fast downloads, and painless client updates—so the MVP should stay narrow and nail the core workflow.
