Adventurers,
It's a wrap! The playtest has officially concluded, the servers have gone dark, and all progress has been wiped—thank you for joining us on this incredible journey!
Your boundless enthusiasm has truly inspired us. Seeing Dungeonborne skyrocket to #1 on the Next Fest charts, draw in over 19k concurrent players, hit a peak of 68k viewers on Twitch, and leap from the top 500 to the top 50 on Steam's most-wishlisted games—all within just two weeks—has been an absolutely mind-blowing experience. These phenomenal achievements are as much yours as they are ours. Together, we've crafted something special.
This playtest has affirmed that our vision for Dungeonborne is on the right track. It's clear we've created a dungeon crawler that delivers a unique experience—a game that we can all take pride in, one that stands tall on its own merits. Thank you so much for all the feedback and constructive criticism you've provided. Armed with your insights, we're prepared to address the challenges identified during this test, such as balancing classes and gear disparity, enhancing anti-cheat measures, and polishing other gameplay details. Rest assured, every piece of feedback will be thoroughly reviewed and combined with our data analysis to guide our future development plans and release strategy.
So, what's next? Veterans from our first alpha test will know that we are a team that lives by a 'heads-down, development-first' approach. After a brief moment to recharge, we'll be back on the grind, diving back into full-on development mode. Once we have substantial updates to share, you can expect a detailed roadmap and exciting new teasers. And while you wait, we'll keep the community spirit alive with some fun events, so stay tuned!
In closing, thank you again for your unwavering support—through every wishlist addition, every piece of feedback, and every playtest review post on Discord. Together, we have forged our own path in the dungeon extraction genre. We're honored to have such an amazing community alongside us in building the game. Let’s take pride in what we achieved together and celebrate Dungeonborne’s success!
See you soon, and here's to the journey ahead with Dungeonborne!
