Greetings, Tinkerers and Tycoons!
It's been a while since our last newsletter. We could start off by mentioning that we have put a lot more work into Good Company and that the game is coming along nicely, but how about sharing more surprising news instead? So, here we go...
The Final Public Test for Good Company will be from March, 10th - 16th 2020! Everyone who successfully registered will be receiving a Steam test key.
Good news, right? We're thrilled to know that so many people will be playing Good Company for the first time. This will be the final litmus test before we launch into Early Access.
We can't wait to watch you streaming your play sessions, follow your discussions about company setups and management strategies, as well as receive your highly anticipated feedback after the test has ended.
The test key and more information will be sent to all participants when the Public Test begins. Stay tuned!
However, even if you don't participate you might be eager to know what's new in Good Company since we last updated you. Let's fill you in...
Graphics
During the past three months, our art team has been investing much love in the environmental design of Good Company, in order to bring the various campaign and challenge maps to colorful life.
Game modes
Besides the campaign mode, which comes with a light-hearted story to follow, and challenges to give you new ways to test your skills, we have implemented the Freeplay Mode for players with a rather open and experimental mindset.
Gameplay
Being a core element of Good Company, we have been constantly refining the logistics system, which lets you expand and automate production processes. The markets have also been improved to offer more dynamic progression while products are being sold.
Balancing, polishing & bug fixing
Needless to say, the aspects listed above require a lot of balancing and continuous playtesting - which gives us the opportunity to spot and fix various issues, as well as polishing off any edges that became apparent during the process.
We hope you are all as excited as we are about the upcoming Final Public Test. We're really looking forward to knowing what you think about Good Company after diving into your first hands-on experience with the game!
As always, we are happy for you to get in touch with us about anything Good Company related. You can find many ways to drop us a line via our central hub.
Most importantly, if you like Good Company so far, be sure to wishlist it here on Steam and share the news!
All the best,
your Chasing Carrots
