This playtest is all about the systems. Gather or buy materials out in the world, chop trees for wood, and hunt in the wild to bring resources back to your forge. Then it's time to get to work: craft your very first blades and shields using the completely rebuilt blacksmithing system, and experiment with modular shields to put your own spin on your gear.
One important thing to know: this is a sandbox map. That means there are no quests and no story layer with commissions to complete. The focus is entirely on the mechanics, so you're free to experiment, test, and play around with the systems however you like, at your own pace.
This is an early look, so expect some rough edges. That's exactly what we need you for. Your feedback will directly shape the game, so play, break things, and tell us what worked and what didn't.
The playtest runs for only 3 days, so don't wait too long to jump in. Two things that help us the most:
