The current Ashfield Hollow Playtest will officially end on Wednesday, August 12.
Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to play, report bugs, and share feedback. The responses from this playtest have already led to a large number of improvements across survival balance, combat, controls, interactions, performance, stability, and general usability.
If you are currently participating and still have feedback to submit, please send it in before the playtest ends.
After August 12, access to this playtest build will be closed while I continue working through the remaining feedback and preparing the next stage of development.
Thank you again for helping me improve Ashfield Hollow!
