October Playtest is Here!
[p]Hey Raiders,
We're putting the finishing touches on the Surfpunk Playtest build and will be flipping the switch to live in just a few hours.[/p][p][/p][h2]🎮Playtest Details[/h2][p]If you've received an email from Steam inviting you to the playtest, then you've been selected and should see it pop in your library once we go live this afternoon. I know the email says its already available... apologies for the confusion there.
We are aiming to have the build ready by 3pm EDT (GMT-4) at the latest, but it may pop into your libraries sooner.
Please bear with us, it's the first time we run a playtest through Steam...! 😅
[/p][h2]🏄Connect on Discord[/h2][p]The easiest way to get in touch with us is via the Double Stallion Discord server, so meet us there if you can and we can help you through any issues.
It's also the best place to give us feedback and report bugs. We're counting on you to help us improve the game and really value your feedback.
