I've had an emotional month. Since June 2025, I've been on the brink of giving the game out to you wonderful people and holding off until I felt the quality was high enough.
On the 9th of October, I decided to just throw caution to the wind, set up the Steam Playtest and give some keys out to Discord members for feedback. It was a success!
I received over 70 individual pieces of of great feedback! Two of the main problems with Clomper is that placing pipes and moving around in the Clomper is kind of hard. So they are the main things to focus on.
How much of the feedback was expected? I knew there were some issues but the feedback highlighted that character movement and pipe placing could be improved. So that's what I'm working on next.
The only big bug was that you couldn't go from game -> main menu -> game. I'm glad that was the only one to slip through months of testing.
The beta testing is still invite-only just now. I will be opening it up for all to play test by the end of the year, as character movement and pipe placing need fixing first.
After that, I'll keep the open playtest live for a good long time while I complete the rest of the game's features.
Thank you for following along, see you on Discord and YouTube,
