How do I playtest?
Join our Discord server. On June 29, we will be posting instructions on how to claim a key in the #announcements channel. Don't worry, there will be enough keys for everyone on Discord!
What is the Tech Demo?
The Tech Demo is a playable showcase of the swordmaking technology we've been working on. It is what we affectionately call the game's Creative Mode, i.e. a freeform creative swordmaking experience. We will be setting up a feedback form and listen closely to what you have to say to make sure that we keep developing this core aspect of the game the right way.
What is the Tech Demo not?
The Tech Demo is not feature complete and we will keep working on the swordmaking for quite a while. The Tech Demo is not final quality, as we're still early in development and iterating on pretty much everything. The Tech Demo is also not showing any actual gameplay loop – if you have seen our Steam Page, you will know that we have a lot planned, and save for the core swordmaking, none of it is in there.
Can I stream/record the playtest and share my swords?
For sure, we very much encourage you to share your experience and the swords you create, with us and the rest of the world! We'll set up a dedicated Discord channel for this in time. If you're a streamer, content creator etc. and want to cover the Bladesong playtest, please get in touch so we can make sure you get all the info you need.
That's it. June 29. Swords shall be made.
⚔️ David and the Bladesong team
