Welcome to the New Paradigm
Hello, I'm Danny Judas, creator of Collect Call. I was hoping that today would be the day I open the floodgates of the Steam opt-in playtest, but unfortunately the build still has a few phases of review ahead of it before that is possible.
However, my goal with this project is to get a playable version into people's hands as soon as possible. I'm very excited to show you all what I've been working on, and it's exceptionally important to me that you all get the chance... to give it a chance.
A few words of warning before we head into testing proper:
What I am opening up here is still VERY early in development and has a long way to go before being anything near what I consider to be finished.
There is not that much content to explore or grapple with.
I have put quite a bit of effort into explaining the game while you play it, but there is still plenty more work to do.
I am a finicky person and I make finicky games.
With that out of the way, let's talk about the test itself.
Phase One Testing
The version I am about to offer access to is the first time a considerable number of people will be able to actually play something I have created since 2017. But 'considerable' here is still limited. According to the numbers as of the time of writing, there are about 200 people waiting for access to the steam opt-in. I am going to grant access to 100 people at this time, but I cannot do that by just hitting a button right now. To release the opt-in, Steam must approve my build. As stated above, that has not happened yet.
So, I apologize for the inconvenience, but if you want to play before that time, I will need you to sign up via this google form. There are a couple of questions to fill out, but they are (mostly) not disqualifying. If I approve you to join the test, I will reach out to you via Discord/Email to provide you a Steam key for the test.
Again, in this round, access is very limited.
In the meantime, I have opened a public discord for the game. If you're accepted into the test, I will also grant you access to the testing channels in that server.
Here is an overview of what you can expect to test:
3 Enemy Factions
85 Player cards
2 Characters
18 Feng Shui Items
Thank you for your attention!
