addedThis led to 1000+ people quickly signing up for the playtest, so I'm getting huge volumes of useful feedback and already have a long list of bugs to fix. For this reason, I'm switching future sign-ups to be added to a waitlist instead of receiving immediate access. This will allow me to address the current feedback before granting access, so the next batches of playtesters will get to play that new & improved version.

"Folk Emerging is a fascinating 4X strategy game about prehistoric nomads that ends where Civilization begins"

If you already joined the playtest, you'll still have access until Monday August 18th 11:00 CEST as promised. I may release some updates / hotfixes to the playtest during that time.

It's awesome to see so many people playtesting and engaging with the game, and all your feedback is much appreciated!
