10,000 Wishlists, Next Fest Conclusion & Future playtest details
[p]With Steam Next Fest concluded, we've just reached the 10,000 wishlist mark on steam. Huge thanks to everyone who tried out the game! We have gotten a lot of great feedback and ready to dive into our next dev cycle. [/p][p][/p][p]The "Ramshackle Demo" app is planned to be deactivated and won't receive updates anymore, but the playtest will continue to be open for the rest of this week. Make sure to Request access on the steam page! For those new here a little disclaimer of what to expect from playtest to playtest: The game is, of course, in active development and therefore anything and everything is subject to change between each playtest. We find these playtests the best time to bounce ideas off the community before things get more locked down post-release. All while trying to streamline the core experience. Typically our dev cycle is about 1-2 months between each playtest.[/p][p][/p][p] Some of the pain points we need to resolve gathered from player feedback:[/p]![]()
