Hello All!
With the end of the semester, much of our team has parted ways, going on to jobs, new coursework, and internships across the country. Those of us who are still here are working hard to prepare Solar Showdown for entry into various competitions this summer. The first comes up this June, shortly after which we plan on releasing the game for all to play. Until then, we plan on doing more playtesting as we push out balance tweaks, bug fixes, and a graphical update or two.
Playtesting was recently added to our store page, and 16 of you registered to help us. We have no way to tell who you are, but we love you and appreciate your willingness to help. Unforunately, due to the constraints of the competitions and the desires of the department, we are reverting to using the Steam Key format for playtesting, as they provide more control. With a key, we knopw who is participating, as well as having an easier time setting expectations and making clear restrictions on what playtesters allowed to do with the game and key. We hope that those who were interested before will still be willing to help us now! If anyone reading this is interested in helping us to playtest over these next couple weeks, please approach anyone you know who is working on the game and ask them to get a key for you. We look forward to your feedback as we work to make Solar Showdown truly great!
