The first playtest build of Abject Abyss is nearly ready!
Right now, there is still time to sign up to be one of the first testers, but the cut off will be soon. (Though you can still join the mailing list after and potentially gain access to later events.)
Note: playtesting signups have now closed.
What will the playtest include?
It'll be the first part of the game, the same section that will eventually become the public demo. It's got all the basic elements of the game, enough to give people an idea of what the rest will be like.
How long will it take until the demo is released?
It'll depend on how many problems the playtesting uncovers. I want to at least get all the major issues handled before the public demo, because you know that demo's gonna reveal even more.
But even worst case scenario, I reckon it wont be too long before something gets out to the public.
How long exactly is the demo?
That's one of the things I'm hoping to find out through these tests. I know how long it makes me to play through these levels. But I'm the developer.
It's so hard to know how other people are going to interact with what you've made. But after this test, I should have a much better idea.
That's all for now
Now I need to get back to work. The last little bit always seems to take the longest.
