Hello, fellow mechanics!
Today’s the big day. The public playtest starts today at around 4 PM CET (about an hour from now). We’ve talked plenty about the features the build will have, so if you’d like to go over them once again, read this entry. Now, let’s talk about the schedule.
11.01 - The Start
We’ll make the public playtest build available to the public. All of the people who have requested access to the test should have it granted. The game will most likely be up for at least a few days.
We’ll then see whether we’ll need to take the game down. It depends on the feedback we’ll get. If it requires to be extensively worked on, it will become unavailable for a couple of days and will be restored at a later date. On the other hand, if it performs well, we expect to keep it up.
18.01 - The Second Batch
At this date, we expect to grant access to the rest of the people who will have applied to take part after 11.01. This is going to happen if we decide to take the build down temporarily. If not, then we’ll be consistently granting access to all that will be applying while the test is in progress.
As there’s no conclusion yet, make sure to join our Discord server and follow our Twitter to be up to date. It’s also crucial from our point of view to have you there, as we’ve created special sections for sharing your feedback.
22.01 - The End
On this date, we expect to close the public playtest. This should be sufficient time to get plenty of feedback, so we can polish the demo to a satisfying level. We also believe that this will be sufficient time for you to have loads of fun with the game and it won’t be surprising if you manage to beat it a couple of times.
One more thing to add - we’ll have a small questionnaire by the end of the game. Please, fill it out and send it to us. We wanna use this knowledge to make Rally Mechanic Simulator as good as it gets!
More updates will follow in the future. By now, though, play the game, have fun and share your feedback. Have a good one!
