- Thanks! Next playtest is tomorrow (Thursday) 9/16 at 12:30pm Pacific - 15 September 2021
Thanks for everyone playing and all the feedback you have been giving, we really appreciate it. The game is now shut down for the evening, and we kept it going much longer than we thought because you all kept coming. The game will not be launchable in your Library until our play session tomorrow starting at 12:30pm Pacific (3:30pm Eastern), so stay tuned. We have adjusted the time a little later, and keep in mind it is expected for you to be unable to launch and see the game in your library with the Uninstall option, until the test window starts. Just keep the game installed, and it will be a quick patch to play once the Beta window is on line again. We want to tighten the window of play so we can get everyone playing at the same time. Looking forward to it, and please tell your friends to come sign up as well. Thanks again! Shaggy Doge
