Our first available Closed Beta Weekend, scheduled for 6/8-6/9/2018, will represent our first attempt at wide-audience participation. Since all of our testing has been in a Closed, invite-only environment, at fairly intimate numbers, we’re excited to see what feedback comes with a larger audience!
To give you a good understanding of what you’ll jump into in our first Closed Beta Weekend below represents the state of the game and a preview of the direction we’ve been exploring with development. Of course with your feedback, we’ll have lots of variations and fine-tuning to evaluate along the way.
