Survivor Mercs 1st Showcase @ GG.Bavaria & Playtest Plans
We did it! We showed the game for the first time to the public!
And now we're confident to show it to even more people.
GG.Bavaria is a local games culture event in Munich, our local Wolpertinger home base, which happened over the course of the last weekend.
We set up our operations in the first floor of the venue with a good vantage point. And the unsuspecting target subjects were lured directly into our ambush!
The game ran smoothly and caught the audience's attention quite early. Occupying a neuralgic choke point allowed us to recruit nearly all players passing our position.

In a cloak-and-dagger operation we deployed Survivor Mercs onto SteamDeck. Lo-and-behold, the game ran without any major issues. This immediately tripled our effectiveness.

Thanks to all the playtesters who tried Survivor Mercs on the weekend. We received amazing and insightful feedback into the core mechanics of the game. And it is fun!
We demo'ed the basic game runs without the progression and unlock systems. You were able to play with a variety of randomized Commanders and a broad selection of Mercs and Gears to try and survive a 20-minute-run until you would face our first boss.
Our players already created very interesting squad builds to try and survive the enemy hordes, made up of different enemy waves with varying attack patterns. The testers were already hunting for the objectives on the map to grab as much loot as possible, and many figured out how to extract successfully before falling victim to the final onslaught.
With around 100 sessions played and close to 20 survey participants we already had some first data to look into what the players liked and what they want to see improved.
[h3]CLOSED PLAYTEST[/h3]
Since we received a lot of very positive feedback, we decided to change our plans and host a first closed playtest already in the very near future.
For this we invite everyone who is interested in participating, to join our Discord server. We will be organizing the playtest there and grant access to everyone who wants to participate and provide feedback.
