Playtest

Playtest will go alive shortly! Those who requested access should get a notification. Keep in mind that you may have to restart the Steam app for it to show up in the library.

Important

There are now two new forums on Steam. One called Feedback and the other is Bug/Issues Report.

Please these forums for bug reports and feedback. Also, please create a separate, new post per bugs/issues/feedback, etc.. so they can be easily tracked and resolved.

Discord is fine for quick questions but it is impossible to keep track of things, so please use Steam forums for communications.

Here are few tips to get you started

Controls

Almost everything in the game can be manipulated by hand without pressing a button on the controller.

You can also grab hold of things by hovering over the handover interactive items (such as levers) and pressing the Grip button on your controller.

You can fire the main gun while grabbing any corresponding crank (elevation, traverse) and pressing the trigger on your controller. Or you can simply hit the actual trigger lever.

Movements

I can move around the tank by grabbing (hover over and press Grip button) on to walls of the tank. The important point about this. You can’t grab a move if you grab too close to an interactive object. When you successfully grab, your hand will turn transparent white.

Crew

Use the intercom (in the commander’s station) to give crew commands. If you need to enter a crew station, just drag yourself over the AI, he will get out of your way.

Keep note that there is no loader (AI) at this time. You are it. Load a shell and set the gunner to “Engage at will” to target get and fire at the enemy.

You can use the gunner to refill the ready rack. Note that you cannot field rearm or repair during the Playtest. I must return to FOB and restart if you die or run out of ammo.

Menu

Pressing and holding the secondary button (e.g. B ) opens the menu. You can also use the ESC key on your keyboard if in case it doesn’t work for you.

FOB

Go check out the Forward Operating Base (FOB) via the menu.

If you want to go back to fight, walk over to your gunner (he is standing next to the tank) and talk to start a “Patrol”

Once again, if you have any “how-to” questions you may hop on to the discord server and for any feedback or bug reports please use Steam forums.

This session will run from now until midnight (Pacific time) Sunday.

Hope you have wonderful time and are excited to hear what you think.

Cheers!
