Playtest

Don't forget: Tomorrow the game will be launched on Steam as "Playtest". Numerous players have already signed up and we would like to thank you for that.
This is already a great feedback for us, and the community is growing day by day.
The players who already have access to the game through their game library do not necessarily need to participate in the playtest.

The playtest will probably be available for 3 to 4 weeks. However, we will give advance notice before it ends.
The savegames will be the same for both versions and we will release regular updates for both versions. Furthermore there will also always be regular streams on Twitch.

Tomorrow there will also be a livestream on Twitch: We are working on the final preparations for the update and we will start the playtest during the evening.
We are looking forward to future feedback and wish you a happy new year.
