Heyoo!! Exciting news, I have a date for the next playtest.
The Tidewoken playtest will start on the 17th of August and last for about a week.
During this time you can fully experience Tidewoken and all the characters, dungeons, PvP, and the "VS AI" mode.
Most of the features are fully finished, but some require a bit more work (such as profiles and cosmetics).
I'm excited to hear your feedback about the game. Tidewoken was always built around the feedback I received from you and most of the features in the game are a direct result of that. I'll need your help in finding issues and bugs :)
If you can think of anyone who would be interested in trying out the game, please let them know as well. The dungeons are even more fun when playing with others.
To receive a key, join our Discord Server. Before the playtest starts, you can receive your Steam key there. Make sure you have the "Looking to play" role.

Yo, surprise! I’m still working on Tidewoken :)
My current goal is to polish the game and prepare it for a release into Early Access.
As you might glimpsed, creating a fairly big game by myself takes a lot of time, but I’m here with exciting news:
Tidewoken is going to be free-to-play!
I always wanted to do this, but was hesitant because of the struggles to pay for the servers needed. The game was originally designed to be a PvP-only title, which meant the servers are hosted by me (to ensure no one cheats). To upgrade the servers for more players, there will be some way to support the game in the future (like a supporter edition or Patreon), but without any pay-to-win shenanigans.
I also worked on several noteworthy features in the past few months, such as:
1) A fun new equipment system for your characters, with over 30 unique items:
2) The new elite difficulty in dungeons, featuring “Greater” variants of monsters with new abilities:
3) Loot! You can now find skills and equipment when slaying monsters or battling other players. Legendary skills can now only be earned by defeating the required bosses.
4) A new game mode called “Versus AI”, where you can battle AI-controlled enemies in a 2vs2, alone or co-op. You can even get the skills the bots use as a reward!
5) You can now customize your keybindings in the settings menu.
6) The disk space of the game is now reduced from 9 GB to about 2.5 GB, a decrease of over 70%. Also, the average performance should be roughly 20-30% better (depending on the level).
7) A new Mystic skill… does it look familiar?
Considering all these changes, I give my best to test them a lot, but bugs always happen and Tidewoken is becoming quite large to test alone.
Therefore I plan to make a playtest in the upcoming weeks. It would be super cool and helpful to hear your feedback. The best way to keep in touch is by joining the https://discord.gg/BZRsxGgMwQ.
Until next time!

Heyo, Xreal here!
As you might have noticed, there has been a lack of updates over the past few weeks/months. Right now, I'm the only one working on Tidewoken, whenever I find the necessary time. And since I also started going to University, the amount of time greatly depends on studying as well.
The consequence is that I won't be able to release Tidewoken this year.
This is not only due to features & polishing missing, but also because I can't promise to develop, update and support an online/multiplayer game when I'm occupated with studying (even if I give my best!).
I wish to make the game playable soon, and let players contribute to the final product. Maybe something like a Patreon, to support the development and get access to the game before it is released, with the possibility to get your own skills and perks into Tidewoken. Let me know if you think that's a good idea, or if you can think of something better.
Thanks a lot to anyone still caring about the game, I know it has been a long journey.
If you think you can help the project (for example with finding players, managing the community, making videos/trailers, or by other means), please let me know in our Discord Server :)
Lastly, here are some screenshots of the new Dungeon Run gamemode:

Additionally, there is a new patch out today with a couple of improvements:

Hi everyone!
The next playtest of Tidewoken will be held from 4th of March to 6th of March (over the weekend).
During this time you can play and test Tidewoken for free.
Remember to sign up on our Steam Store page (if you haven't already):
More info can be found on our Discord Server.
There will be exciting changes to try, the biggest ones are:
You can select up to 2 characters when playing dungeons alone or with 2 players.
This way you are now able to play a dungeon with a full 4 character team together.
The general dungeon difficulty is adjusted to 4 characters.
When the player party is not full, the lobby host of a dungeon run can select AI companions for their team.
With 2 players, dismiss your Companion Knights to add more AI companions.
The base turn time is lowered to 45 seconds.
The turn time is now based on the previous turn of that character.
When you end your turn in 40 seconds or faster, you get up to 25 bonus seconds for the next turn.
Cauldron Ball is a new fun gamemode coming to Tidewoken. This mode is all about the pushback mechanic. Use skills to push the cauldron ball into the enemy team's goal.
The first iteration of Cauldron Ball will be very basic, but I'm excited to hear your opinion on it. Have a fun break inbetween battling in dungeons or PvP.

Hope to see you in the playtest!

Hi everyone,
I gathered a lot of feedback throughout the playtest and it was super fun playing with you.
In this post, I'll talk about the future of the game, a new addition, and how you can decide what gets added to the game.
To receive notification about news, just follow the game on Steam (or/and wishlist it):
Originally, the game was planned to release in Q1 2022 into Early Access. The game is primarily a (way too huge) hobby project rather than a funded development by a studio, so I decided to skip this early access phase and rather have regular playtests with you guys. Also, my goal is to create an awesome game, rather than to release it ASAP in an unfinished state.
There could still be an early access phase at a later stage, but just to add new content and make the game even more polished.
If you want to participate in future playtests, please join our Discord server: https://discord.gg/hcR2m2R
You can also request access if you haven't already, directly on the Steam store page of Tidewoken:
Multiplayer is a core feature of Tidewoken, but some players might want to enjoy the experience alone.
I received a lot of positive feedback about the Companion Knight, a player-controlled character with unique skills, but this still leaves the player with only 2 characters versus the dungeon.
I decided to add AI-controlled companions as well, which can be recruited at the start of each dungeon.
First, there will be one companion per class, but I'll add more with unique builds in the future.
These companions can also show you cool skills you haven't tried yet!
In addition to those AI companions, players will also be able to bring a second character into the dungeon. If you bring a second character, it replaces the Companion Knight. I still have to figure a few things out, like how it works with 3 players, but I think it will be a great addition to the game.
With such a small team working on Tidewoken in their free time, getting feedback is the most important thing. I have a few features in the works, but it would be great to know what you would want to see next in the game:
