We are looking for Oculus testers for our first Steam playtest!
ATTENTION: The first playtest application is now closed, join the Discord listed below to keep track of new playtest opportunities!
If you don't own an Oculus device, you can still sign up to be given access to subsequent playtests when your headset is compatible. You can also join the Discord to simply be a part of the community and or follow the game!
The following steps are required to take part in the testing:
- Join the official Discord server: Official Cry of Athena Discord Server. This is needed to communicate with testers and send out keys.
- Register to participate as a tester with this form: Testing Registration Form
- Have an Oculus device with PCVR capability (later builds will add functionality to all other headsets like the Index, Vive, etc.)
Keep in mind that the game is still very much work in progress so will not be of release quality during playtests. That being said, we did our best to make sure it's as good as it can be at this stage, minimizing severe bugs to prevent them getting in the way of gameplay. This playtest is meant to see how fun the core game mechanics are, and what needs improvement here on out.
We want the game as enjoyable as possible before its eventual release and this is only possible with honest community feedback!
What happens after you register via the form:
- It will take some time to process registration and get the playtest build fully functional before the next steps - this can be between a week or two weeks as we iron out bugs
- You'll be given a Discord tag as "Tester" and will have access to the testing channel on Discord.
- Stay tuned to the Discord to hear about follow up announcements, specifically the #news-and-updates channel
- We will give you a Steam key that is used to access the playtest build when it is ready
- Enjoy the game!
- Submit your feedback via the Post-Playtest Feedback Form that we will send out. You can also participate in discussions about the build on the Discord channel.
If you indicated you want to stream or record the gameplay in the registration, we'll be in contact with more information about the process within Discord.
