A few technical bits and thingies
Everyone that already requested access and participated in previous Playtest should get access automatically, and we'd definitely encourage previous „Playtesters“ to hop in again since that will give us a direct comparison.
Another note – Playtest version is time limited as before, but time limit for a single session is now increased to 5 hours, simply because the game is much bigger now. There are no limits to how many times you can start and set up a new game.
Take a look, give it a spin and if you have any feedback you'd like to share with us, you can do so on Steam, Discord ( https://discord.gg/6FfVfPfDNz ) or email
What would be most appreciated from you?
You don't have to do anything except play and enjoy. But if you're willing to assist us more, we'd appreciate the log files from your playsessions (if you encountered any issues), save files to monitor progress and future balancing and any other reports you feel we should know. Details to where you can find these files and where to send them are same as they were for demo.
Any and all constructive feedback to help complete this complex game is truly appreciated. Besides adding a lot of new features, we used the invaluable feedback from the previous playtest to improve the overall experience. We will do so again with this session.
So, mark your calendars and get ready to dive into this hands-on adventure. It’s all happening this weekend, and we can’t wait to see how you’ll reshape the world of Kaiserpunk!
Let’s reshape history together!
