Hey everyone ! I trust everyone is doing great and eagerly anticipating the upcoming playtest!
I will be pushing an experimental version of the game on the Steam servers during this weekend, unfortunately, the Steam validation process takes from 3 to 5 business days to validate a published build... So the playtest might only start during next week I am really sorry for the inconvenience.
However, the playtest will last for one to two months during which I am planning to update the game, patch the issues (and there will be a lot) and to finalize the implementation of some gameplay elements.
For all that I will need your help explorers! Feel free to contact me on Discord, Steam or through the community page of The Hideaway, pointing out the issues you came across, even things you might want to be changed. I will read every single message.
Don't forget that it is a playtest of an early-access game, you are going to play an extremely experimental version of The Hideaway. You may experience issues and bugs, which you are greatly invited to highlight. I hope that this playtest will really help enhancing the game global experience.
Thanks a lot for everyone still following the project and I would like to thank everyone who registered to the playtest, we're nearly a hundred now and it really touches me to have so many people caring about a project I had to put on hold for two years.
Here is an older trailer about this version, even if the lore and the main gameplay loop of the game was modified, it's worth a shot ! ^^
Have a nice weekend explorers and see you very soon on The Hideaway community channel or even on Discord ! ^^
