We Just Ran Our First Alpha Playtest!

Hey everyone,

We’ve been keeping it quiet, but we're happy to report that our first round of playtesting is done and dusted!

Last month, we previewed Circle Empires 2 for the very first time to a handful of enthusiastic community members. In this limited Alpha Playtest, players were given a first look at our upcoming sequel, while also helping us work out some of the kinks, balance the game’s difficulty, and get a feel for the general direction of the game.

We want to thank every single playtester for their participation and we’re very happy we’ve taken this step and feel reassured about our direction. However we can’t wait to get more opinions… and there might just be a way to share yours sooner than you think!

We’re still keeping things under wraps, but keep an eye on our blogs to find out more in the coming weeks.
