Hi Everyone!
We have had an amazing response to the playtest signup so far and we can't wait to get a bunch of feedback from players later in the month! This is our first time running a test like this on Steam and it seems like I have dropped the ball with some of the info. We had a few questions on our Discord and socials that I wanted to clear up here for everyone.
How do I gain access to the playtest?
Please request access to the playtest via the Stream Train Steam page. We will be granting access to the playtest on September 11. You will get an email from Steam if you have been granted access.
How long will the playtest be active?
We will be opening the playtest on Friday the 11th of September at 4pm CEST and closing it on Monday the 14th of September at 11pm CEST.
What if I gain access, but my friends don't?
Any player that is granted access to the playtest will be able to invite up to 3 friends to play with them. You will be able to see how many invite you have remaining on the Stream Train Playtest page in your Steam library.
What languages will be available?
The playtest will be English only. We will be localising Stream Train for launch (languages are tbd), but we didn't have the ability to have the game localised in time for the playtest event.
Can I livestream or create content during the playtest?
Yes, content creators should feel free to create content of Stream Train if they are granted access to the playtest. Get in touch with us on Social Media so we can check out your stream/video!
Can I reach out for specialised access as a content creator?
The playtest is primarily for user feedback so we can make adjustments in the lead up to launch (rather than marketing). We plan on reaching out to streamers in the days leading up to launch for a proper marketing push.
That being said, we are open to sending out some keys to streamers. Watching an uncut livestream of players trying the game is a great way for us to learn. Feel free to reach out to marketing(at)halfpastyellow(dot)com if you are interested.
Not so frequently asked questions?
If the FAQ above didn't cover your query, feel free to write a comment below or ask a question in our discord. I will update the questions here if it makes sense.
Thanks everyone!
