Greetings, Dominators!
The next playtest is almost here — starting on Nov 5th and until 8:59 pm GMT Nov 6th ! Join the battlefields and try out the first ever Bullet-hell Royale — solo or with friends!
We’re hard at work making Dominance the best it can be — and this update is no exception! Here are some highlights of the newest version of the game:
[h3]How to Play[/h3]
If you've participated in previous playtest, or at least got access and downloaded the game — just update Dominance and jump into the game!
If you're a new player — simply go to Dominance Steam page, click “Request Access”. After receiving confirmation press "Play the Game" to install the game’s client.
There are no restrictions on when or how long to play — simply launch the game any time you want and play as long as you want until November 6th at 8:59 pm GMT! If there are not enough players in the match — the game will add bots for you to play against.
[h3]How to play with friends[/h3]
1. Open your Friend list and click “+Invites”
2. Type in the nickname of the player you want to add. IMPORTANT: Upon 1st launch the game will ask you to come up with a nickname — you have to write this nickname to add a friend and NOT his Steam nickname.
3. After your friend accepts the invitation, you can find him in your Friend list. Simply cick on his profile in the list and select “Invite to Party”
4. Voila! Just click “Play” and you’ll be on the same team when the match begins. You can have up to 3 people playing on one team.
[h3]Where do I report a bug or leave feedback?[/h3]
You can leave any feedback or bug reports here, in you’d like to share Steam Discussions! We would appreciate any and all ideas and feedback.
[h3]Error 002 - Server is not responding[/h3]
This error means that the game’s server is currently offline. While we do our best to make sure it works properly throughout the playtest — some hiccups can still occur. If you’re met with this error upon entering the game — just try starting it again a couple minutes later.
