First Static Dread Playtest is Over – And It Was Awesome!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated! 780 players joined the playtest, and 300 of you filled out feedback forms. Not bad, right? This is incredibly valuable information for us.
Yeah, we get it — having to constantly run for fish, energy drinks, and coffee was exhausting. Sorry about that! :) Oh, and the generator? Yeah, it got a little out of hand. It was way too loud, we hear you!
We're working on improving technical stability, completely reworking the energy mechanic, and refining many aspects of the game based on your feedback.
But you know what? Beyond all the suggestions and reports on what we need to fix, there was something else really important in your responses: the ratings you gave the game, its atmosphere, and its story. Across the board, Static Dread scored an average of 4.5 out of 5. We saw a lot of perfect scores, and many of you really, really enjoyed the experience.
We understand that this is an early playtest, and your high ratings are a show of faith in us. The game is far from finished, but we're truly grateful for your support and excited that Static Dread is resonating with you.
Some of the updates — like the new energy system — will be available in the Steam Next Fest demo, starting on February 24. If you played the current version, we’d love to hear your thoughts on the changes!
