- Demo Release and Earth Appreciation Festival - 17 April 2026
Right now, the Earth Appreciation Festival is starting, along with the Demo of Worlds Explorers.Over the past month, I’ve been working intensively on implementing all the necessary features, and in recent weeks on fixes and changes based on your feedback from both closed and open playtests.You can see the results of this work today by playing the Demo!
- End of playtests and demo in 3 days! - 14 April 2026
I’ve just closed sign-ups for the playtests. If you already had access, you still have 24 hours to play. I’d really appreciate any additional feedback and bug reports!Thanks to your feedback from the tests, I’ve been able to improve many elements of the game and fix numerous issues.Many thanks for every piece of feedback, especially to those who described their impressions of the game in detail!Now stay tuned for the demo release in 3 days, along with the start of the “Earth Appreciation Festival”!
- Short playtests before the demo - 7 April 2026
After internal testing and closed playtests, open playtests will begin shortly, and you can now sign up for them.The goal of the playtests is to gather feedback about the game and identify potential bugs and issues. The tests will only be open for a few days, and the collected data will be used to create a better demo.Due to the short timeframe before the demo release, language selection in the game is unfortunately not yet available (only English is supported). Similarly, a native Linux version is not available yet. These features will be added in future demo updates.
