Hello everyone!
The second official KAZ Playtest is coming soon, and signups are now open. After the first playtest wrapped up, I spent a lot of time going through your feedback, fixing bugs, and reworking parts of the game that needed improvement. This new build is the result of that work, and I’m really excited to finally put it back in players’ hands!If you missed the first playtest, this is a great chance to jump in early, try out the new content, and help shape the game before release!For this Playtest, I am excited to partner with STAN, a gaming community platform focused on connecting developers with players across India. STAN will help introduce KAZ to more Indian gamers during the playtest. STAN is a social platform where gamers can connect, join communities, participate in events, and discover new games together. Their growing community will be joining the chaos of the KAZ playtest alongside the rest of you. Excited to work with the STAN team and welcome more players into the world of KAZ during this playtest!
