Our Playtest is here! This post will serve as your one stop for anything and everything related to the Playtest.
How do I access the Playtest?
- There is a link in the middle of our Store Page, after clicking that link you should have a game called "Super Dungeon Designer Playtest" in your Steam Library. If you signed up ahead of time, check your Steam Library!
- Discovering how the game works can be fun, if you're having trouble figuring something out please reach out either by replying to this post or jumping into the Super Dungeon Designer Discord Channel to ask. Every item has a tooltip, just hover your mouse over the item in the build menu to learn what it does!
- Here is a UI cheatsheet:
- Dungeon sharing is finally here! To upload your dungeon: In Build Mode click on the book icon in the top right, then click Upload in the menu! If you hit upload again you will overwrite your previous upload as an update to your dungeon.
- Click the "Browse Dungeons" button from the main menu. Click "Subscribe" to download any levels you want to try out! To play those levels, navigate back to the Main Menu and click on "My Dungeons". Note that the upload UI is not final.
- First, click on this button at the top of the left menu while building your dungeon
Next, click on this button to add another player. Click it three times to add up to four players
- Add an "End Level Tile" to add an exit to your dungeon. You can place multiple "End Level Tiles" and hide them or make them a part of a puzzle!
- Many objects in the menu have a "cycle button" on the bottom right of their icon. Click this button to cycle through variations of the object. The Door object has three variations (open, closed, locked).
- Controllers should register even if you connect them while playing, we recommend syncing controllers to your computer before you start the game. Bring up the menu by hitting ESC and click on "Controls". From there you can assign controllers to different players and also remap any buttons you need to remap. You can also remap keyboard and mouse controls from this menu.
- Steam Remote Play Together is a Steam feature that we support. For more information check out this link: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0689-74B8-92AC-10F2
We recommend a strong internet connection, especially when you add more than 2 players.
- Please report all bugs!! It will really help us out. You can report bugs by replying to this post, or in our Discord channel (link above). You can also email us at [email protected]. If you have a feature request you can post that here, or create your own post in the forum to get a discussion going around it. We take feature requests seriously, if we see a lot of hype around a new feature we'll definitely consider it for the game.
- Yes! There will be more playtests in the near future so keep an eye out! Unfortunately, we can't guarantee your levels will continue to function by the time the next playtest comes up. We're at a point in development where we're still making big changes to the core components of the game and sometimes that breaks old levels.
