addedThe Future of 3025Well, that's up to you! I do have an overall vision of what the game is meant to be on release, but I would like the community to be heavily involved in terms of what takes priority. There are currently two mindsets I have. The first is to completely polish the first phase of the game (i.e., what is currently available). The second is to work towards new features (e.g., new jobs, leisure locations, and life sim aspects like a banking system and investment opportunities). I will use the reception of this Playtest to guide where we go from here. The overall goal of the complete game would be to have multiple jobs for players to earn money and discover the story behind the world, multiple ways to spend the money earned for fun (e.g., casino, arcade, luxuries), and lastly, more ways for the player to grow wealth within the world (e.g., stock market, housing market, etc.).

What to Expect

For this first round of Playtesting, 3025 v0.10 will be available. It will be open to the public, and the main point here is to gather as much feedback as possible about the initial phase of the game. I've included links to Google Forms and a Discord that will help gather any suggestions, critiques, and bugs you may have during your experience.

Current State of the Game?

Currently, the Playtest is focused on the first opening to the game. Here's a quick list of what's included:

  • 1 hour of content

  • Part 1 of the story (i.e., there is a story-driven end to the playtest)

  • The first available job in the world of Alterra

  • The first available leisure spot, Lyra's Shining Star (AKA a casino)

  • Hunger and thirst system

The Future of 3025

Well, that's up to you! I do have an overall vision of what the game is meant to be on release, but I would like the community to be heavily involved in terms of what takes priority. There are currently two mindsets I have. The first is to completely polish the first phase of the game (i.e., what is currently available).

In a less serious tone, I would like to build a glorified Purble Place.

Thank You!

In the grand scheme of life, your time matters. So I greatly appreciate you taking the time to read this and even playing the game. Your feedback will help shape 3025 into the best it can be, and this is just the start, so I am very excited!

If you somehow read all of this, thank you again, and feel free to Wishlist the game!
