Hello everyone!
As announced earlier, we've just started our Aquatico beta Playtest weekend! Similar to the earlier alpha Playtest, the main goal is to gather feedback and your reactions to the current state of game. The version available today is quite different than previous alpha version, so we're very excited to see what all of you think.
The main differences include a lot of changes/tweaks/improvements to existing features (result of player feedback from the alpha Playtest), revamping of balancing variables, a number of optimization related modifications, plus the addition of many new features unavailable in earlier versions.
We'd like to reiterate that this beta Playtest still doesn't represent a finished or feature complete game. Aquatico is still a work in progress, but we feel there are big enough changes that require another round of feedback from the players.
Many of you are probably already familiar with how this event works, so let's just put a reminder on some basics:
- All players already registered for the previous alpha Playtest, will be automatically registered for the beta Playtest, so if you're interested you'll be able to access and test the new game version
- New registrations will remain opened throughout the duration of the Playtest
- Playtest will conclude at the end of this weekend
- We ask the participants to send us their feedback and data for analysis needed for further improvements: - Your AquaticoLog.txt (created anew on each game start, located in game folder) - Your save game file (.sgs file from Saves subfolder of game installation folder) - Your dxdiag.txt report (create it by running „dxdiag.exe“ from Windows command line) - Email for this purpose is [email protected]
- Please feel free to send us these files and your feedback regardless if you experienced some technical problem or not. Every bit of information will be useful!
You're also welcome to join our Discord for more direct communication with our awesome members, or post your remarks directly on Steam forums.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Each individual game session will be limited to 10 hours, but this time you'll also have access to 2 different scenarios: starting a completely new game, or starting from a premade save file that is already some years later into the game. The purpose here is to give you all a chance to take a look farther into the game, and also get some balancing data for later stages of playtime.
