Hey Dungeon Designers!

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!
  

Where can I learn how to play?

• 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. We have a catalog of all of the useable items with a description of how each works here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Rk8Uaj3oGSxfpf7E1lA44VtZ5jMSNzUYcZuT9sZ-SRk/edit?usp=sharing

What does this button do?

• We will have tooltips in the game but we don't have them in just yet. For now, here is a UI cheatsheet:
  

Where can I report bugs or feature requests?

• 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.
  

How do I share my levels?

• Dungeon sharing online is not in the game yet, to share dungeons locally navigate to "My Dungeons" from the ESC menu. You will see a folder icon in the bottom right. Click on that and it will open the folder that your dungeons are saved to. You can copy the text file and the image with the same name and send those files to someone. PLEASE BE WARY OF ACCEPTING FILES FROM STRANGERS OVER THE INTERNET! We will also be sharing levels that way in our Discord channel in the Level Sharing channel. Discord Channel

I can't install the game!

• Reply to this post or jump in the Discord Channel and let us know what kind of error you're getting.
  

Will there be more playtests? What happens to the levels I make during this playtest?

• 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.
  

How do I play co-op?

• 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
  
  Note that all players share equipment at the moment. That will be changed in a future update so each player has a separate inventory. By default, all players will start wherever you place Player 1. You can set individual start locations by selecting and placing players from the characters menu
  

How do I play with a controller?

• 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.
  

How does Steam Remote Play Together work?

• 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.
  

How do I add an exit to my dungeon?

• 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!
  

This page will be updated throughout the playtest as more questions come up!

We're excited to build some dungeons with you!
