Public Playtest (0.4.0) is LIVE!

Hey everyone!

We’re finalizing our work on the incoming Spring update, in the meantime, we need your help to make sure the version is stable.
For that, we’re opening up our playtest system to each and everyone willing to try out the game in its testing stage.

In order to keep things neat and organized, we’ll ask you to post your feedback and anything related to the playtest in the associated channels on Steam and Discord, or to simply use the F10 report system in game (the latter being the easiest way for us to parse the different issues).
On Steam, a new forum category “Playtest Feedback” has been created specifically for that and dedicated text channels have been made public on the Discord.
Please make sure to post all your feedback about the playtest on these sections, it will make sure we can properly follow and fix the potential issues, thanks in advance!

The playtest will last until the official Spring update lands and you may stream it or create video content about it. Though, remember that there will be bugs, crashes and other issues.
Note that your progress will be completely blank on the playtest branch (regardless if you accessed it before or not) and will not be ported onto the full Spring release.

If you’re interested in helping us, all you have to do is to join the alternative branch called “Playtest” in your Steam launch settings. Please note that other languages than English are currently work in progress.
You can find the instruction below to access it:

- Restart Steam
- Right-click on Roboquest in your Steam Library
- Go over to the "Beta" tab
- Select the beta you'd like to opt for
- Choose "RQ Test Build - Play Tester"
- Close the window, it will start downloading the playtest branch
- Play as usual

The playtest is available from now on, feel free to hop in to start helping us at making this update as great as it can be!

Happy robot testing everyone, we wish you’ll be numerous to help us out :)
