Liftlands News

[p]Wildlings, [/p][p]The Liftlands demo has been an awesome tool for gathering feedback, finding bugs, and understanding how you play. But the demo is now officially out of sync with the full game, and we want to avoid having too much outdated content on social media. [/p][p][/p][p]On top of that, keeping the demo updated, polished, and bug-free has started taking more time than it gives — time we could better use to build the full game for the Early Access release. [/p][p]So we’re retiring the demo temporarily while we focus fully on building the best version of Liftlands. [/p][p]The demo is being removed at the end of February. [/p][p][/p][p]But this is not the end of testing. It’s the beginning of a much bigger phase.[/p][p][/p][h3]We’re opening full-game playtesting on Discord.[/h3][p]If you want to continue to help shape Liftlands, we'll open applications soon on our Discord. We’ll start with a smaller batch of testers and add more over time as systems stabilize. [/p][p][/p][h3]What you get as a tester:[/h3]

• [p]access to the current full build, not the outdated demo[/p]
• [p]direct influence on development[/p]
• [p]early access to new biomes, tech-trees, and god abilities[/p]
• [p]sneak peeks before the public reveal[/p]

[p]The demo will return later in a polished, updated form as part of our bigger reveal. Thanks for sticking with us. [/p][p][/p][p]This next phase is huge — and we’re excited to bring you along. [/p][p]— Jonathan & the Doublecap Team[/p]
