🚀 That's right!

The first Steam Play Test is just around the corner and you can register your interest to take part. Players will be picked at random once the play test starts, the number of players picked will be kept low to start with to make sure every thing runs as smooth as possible.You can request access via the games store page.

🧠 The game is not finished

Not even close to being finished. As I play the game myself, I'm finding things I want to change myself, for example I am not happy with how Wonders currently work, so that is something I intend on reworking. I am also going to change the way you are limited to the number of buildings that you can build, which is tied to happiness, I am going to change that however I have not yet got around to that.
So there's plenty to improve on in my eyes, don't expect a fully working game or something that is bug free.

💬 Feedback

Your feedback is greatly appreciated, so don't hesitate to submit yours, either via Discord or via the in-game feedback form.

All feedback is welcome, maybe you've found a bug or just want to give your opinion on a certain part of the game. Maybe the games not what you thought it was, or it's not up to your expectations, then submit your reason and let me know so that I can iterate and improve.

🎮 See you soon in game
