The year is coming to an end and many of you are already waiting for the announced Demo version. However, since at this point in time our own expectations for a demo have not yet been met, we have decided to give you a Playtest instead.

On 12/31/2021 we will therefore release a Playtest version of GoldHunter on Steam. You can sign up for the Playtest on Steam now, and as soon as it will be unlocked, you can download and test the game.
This playtest is not yet a demo, as it is offered with many games before the final release.
As you know, the game is still in development, and such a public playtest gives us as developers valuable feedback to improve the game on the way to the final release.

We also have another piece of news for you:
We will probably enter Early Access with GoldHunter on Steam in February or March next year.

Starting next Monday, the FindTheSecret event will be back on Discord and the daily development streams on Twitch.

We have some news for you.

As you might have noticed, we have released a lot of updates and hotfixes in the last weeks.
We also regularly respond to bug reports and suggestions from the community.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you again for your feedback. This shows us how strong the community already is.
This allows us to find bugs faster and also to implement suggestions.

Meanwhile, the year is coming to an end and we are working hard on the upcoming release.
Among other things, this includes even more content and features in the game. For this reason we will not do a livestream for the next 2 weeks.
This is necessary from time to time, because we can't always show you everything in the stream. At the same time we will use the time to take a break in between.
Furthermore we make the last preparations for the upcoming release.

The planned update with version 0.573 on 12.12.2021 will therefore be cancelled and the next update will then be released on 19.12.2012.
On this day the next livestream will take place. You can follow the current status at any time on our roadmap.

Until then we wish you a relaxing time and stay healthy.
