During the playtests, we worked hard to fix reported bugs in real-time, addressing issues from surveys and Discord reports. We're also carefully analyzing feedback from DevGAMM, live tests, and player surveys to improve UI, tutorials, and game balance.



💬 Join Our Discord! We’re continuing the discussion there, and soon, we’ll be recruiting for the Trusted Playtesters Team – a group of dedicated players who have spent hours in AoG and understand both our mechanics and the genre. Their feedback will be crucial for future closed playtests as we test new mechanics and major updates.



⚔️ Thank you once again for being part of this journey – this is just the beginning! ⚔️
