Into The Grid News

Hey there!

We are super excited to share with you some updates, check below 👇

[hr][/hr]
[h3]The first open playtest has concluded![/h3]

[h5]👉 As of now, access to the playtest version is no longer enabled on Steam.

👉 THANK YOU ALL! We have literally hundreds of surveys to go through now 🙂 Your feedback means the world to us![/h5]

[hr][/hr]
[h3]Applications for the next open playtest round are open![/h3]

[h5]👉 The next Playtest version will include:

• The first version of the Map Gameplay.
  
• An onboarding system to explain the basics of the game.
  
• Improvements based on the feedback from this first Playtest round.

👉 You can request access using the green "Request access" button on the game's Steam page.



👉 Next round may take place in 3-4 months, as the Map section is the biggest and most complex development for the game. After that we will run more frequent playtests to test smaller mechanics, adjustments and content.

👉 IMPORTANT: If you got access to the playtest that ended today you will automatically have access to the next one. Just keep an eye on here or follow the game on Steam to know when launches.

[h2]Hi everyone![/h2]

We have some important updates about the current playtest.

[hr][/hr]
[h3]The open playtest round will be closing next Monday, 5th of February[/h3]

We received an outstanding amount of feedback that we will be processing in the upcoming weeks.

As new features get implemented we will be opening new playtests so keep in mind that:

- If you got access to this playtest you will automatically have access to all future playtests.

- If you request access after this round is closed, you will have to wait until the next to get access.

[h3]We will be contacting potential participants for the live playtesting sessions[/h3]

Next week we will start contacting pre-selected people who applied for the live playtests to schedule those sessions.

If you haven't already, you can apply here.

If you are not selected for this round you may be called for the following ones.

So, what's happening next?

The team is already working on the next big feature, THE MAP! This effort will take some time so, in the meantime, we have some things prepared to share with you, keep an eye on the Discord server!

[hr][/hr]
Before closing, I want to express, once again, how grateful we are to all of you who participated in this playtest. It's heartwarming and, honestly, very moving to see people enjoying and seeing the potential in what we are creating.

We hope you stick around for the rest of the ride!

Stay safe in the Grid ;)

Hi everyone!

We are thrilled to announce that the Playtest is now live!



[h2]Access[/h2]

- Access is granted in batches and Steam assigns people randomly, so it may take a couple of hours.

- You will receive an email from Steam when you receive access.

[h2]Leaving feedback[/h2]

- There are three feedback buttons, one in the Main Menu, one in the final screen, and one in the upper right corner of the battle screen.

- It's encouraged that you complete the survey using that button at least once.

- You can complete the survey or leave a message as many times as you want.

- If you add your email in the feedback form we may get back to you to ask for more details or reply to your comments.

[h2]About the prototype experience[/h2]

- We recommend you watch the "How To Play" video linked in the Main Menu.

- This prototype features only the battle system.
