If you've been putting off venturing into the forest this is your last and final call to do so. I've been tracking the progress of the currently ongoing playtest and I have to tell you it fills my cold, black, little heart with pride to see over 600 people taking on the challenge and taking the Mycelium playtest for a spin. Not only that! I'm very grateful to over 50 of you who took their time and gave me their thoughts on the game.
You've been asking how much longer the playtest will remain accessible. Seeing that the train isn't stopping and new people are joining in, I decided to do one last hurrah and keep the thing up for one more weekend. However, come Sunday, February 22nd, around 3pm PST I'm pulling the plug.
Before I go. While I like to keep things a bit mysterious, there's one stat in particular I'm too proud not to share with the class. That is: over 60% of the playtesters dedicated more than 2 hours to scouring the woods in search of the precious mycelium specimens and trying not to be maimed, eviscerated, sucked dry, trampled, eaten, or just plain scared to death by monsters. Not a small number put more than 5 hours into my game!
Once again, I appreciate all of the kind words (and mild verbal abuse) you've been feeding me via the feedback form. I will put all the feedback into good use making the game even more engaging and accessible to newcomers before the Early Access release (that is once again moving a bit further for that exact purpose - trust me, it's going to be worth it). If you're reading these words but by some twisted conjunction of reality planes did not yet put Mycelium: The Silent Contract on your wishlist, here's a handy widget to make it as easy as possible for you (in the spirit of making e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g easier to get into). Please don't hesitate to mash that button!
