Major update

The Open Playtest is Live!

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

G'day everyone!

The GameZone open playtest is now officially live!

If you have already requested access to the playtest, it should now be available to download and play.

If you haven't yet requested access, you can do so by going to the GameZone Steam page and clicking the green "Request Access" button.

The main goal of this playtest is to gather your feedback so that we can make this game the best it can be for its full release. So please, let us know what you like, what you feel needs improving, and what else you'd like to see in the game.

We'll be looking forward to seeing what you have to say either in the Steam discussion board, or in our Discord.

Keep in mind that this is our first playtest so we're expecting it to be a bit rough around the edges. We have a lot more planned to add to the game before it launches.

Cheers, and we hope you enjoy!
