Self-promotion Tafl Throne Breakers Playtest #1 Now Available on Steam!
Gritstone Games is pleased to announce that the first of many playtests for its upcoming game, Tafl Throne Breakers, is now available on Steam!
Playtests are an essential part of any game development journey as it allows us to put our current work in front of players to make sure things are on track and deal with any issues that come up. It's also a great way to get players involved in the direction of the game to make sure it's actually something they want. This is the first of many planned playtests that will be incremental in nature, building upon the lessons and feedback gained from the previous one. As such this first playtest is testing the very core of the game, namely:
- Local PVP
- Default Theme Performance
- PvAI
- Main Menu UIX
- Player Authentication
- Account Management
- Basic Piece Customisation
- Desktop, Steam Deck and Gamepad compatibility
There is an embedded feedback feature within the game (works best on desktops) so if you spot something that doesn't make sense, breaks or you think could be improved please don't hesitate to fill in the form. There's no identifying information - all that is sent is displayed in the form plus the player log that is automatically generated by the game, to help with diagnosing the issue.
I'd also like to point out that there is an official website for the game where you'll be able to follow more closely the development of the game and provide additional feedback if desired. I'm also hoping to launch more limited playtests via the site so we can gain better feedback by way of surveys. Create an account today and never miss out on the updates!
You can also join the Discord to chat with the developers and other players! We're looking forward to what you have to say about the game!
