Raia Nova has a playtest. It was out, but it's time to ramp up what we're doing with today's update. I encourage everyone to give this game a try and give feedback. Help us make this a great game. You can contact us with discord, or if you prefer, privately with email, see our website. This update addresses a few issues and makes some improvements. Maybe most importantly it makes the first part of the game easier for new players. You can see details on the update pinned in the discussions on Steam, or in our Discord. In roughly 10 days we may be moving the game over to officially be a demo version. This is only because some organizations require it. So if the playtest is stopped in favor of the demo you'll be able to play the same thing, Steam just treats them like different games. The playtest has 14 levels. 40 are planned for the full game campaign, and you can continue after that wit…
