Hey everyone,
The Spears and Spirits playtest is over, and we want to say a huge thank you to everyone who joined us!
So many of you jumped in, explored the game, and shared your thoughts. Your feedback, bug reports, and gameplay data have given us a much clearer picture of what’s working and what needs more attention.
Most of the bugs reported during the playtest have already been fixed, and we’re working through the rest. We also want to address two major themes in your feedback:
A new interface
We heard you loud and clear about the interface. A new UI is already in development, with a focus on making the game clearer, easier to navigate, and more comfortable to play.
A better-balanced journey
Following your feedback, we’ve expanded the team with experienced game designers who will help us refine the balance and progression. Our goal is to make the journey challenging and rewarding—not frustrating. We want you to spend your time overcoming the game’s challenges, not fighting its systems.
The next playtest
You can expect another playtest toward the end of autumn, featuring an improved version of the game. We’re excited to put these changes in your hands and hear what you think.
Thank you again for your time, your honesty, and your support. You’re helping us make Spears and Spirits a better game, and we’re grateful to have you along for the journey.
See you in the next playtest!
