changedFAQWhat does the Beta Playtest entail?
addedFAQThe Beta Playtest version represents the “full” version of the game as it currently exists, though of course it is not finished yet. Compared to the Demo, the Beta Playtest already has more upgraded buildings, new backgrounds, a new trail ride environment (WIP!), and leopard horse patterns. The Beta Playtest has no day limit.
changedFAQWho gets to be a Beta Playtester?
addedFAQWe know lots of you are very excited and want to be part of the game. We need to keep the test manageable though, so we will only add a handful of people at a time. If you don’t get access right away, please stay patient, and please be aware that not everyone who wants to be a tester will get access.
addedFAQWe have a closed section on our Discord server for this. Once you get access to the playtest build, there will be a new invite link in the game’s main menu that gives you the relevant role. If you cannot join via your browser for some reason, you can also copy the invite link from there, go to “Find or start a Conversation” in your Discord DM overview and paste the Invite link in there, then tap “open invite”. This will also grant you the relevant role.

FAQ

What does the Beta Playtest entail?

The Beta Playtest version represents the “full” version of the game as it currently exists, though of course it is not finished yet. Compared to the Demo, the Beta Playtest already has more upgraded buildings, new backgrounds, a new trail ride environment (WIP!), and leopard horse patterns. The Beta Playtest has no day limit.

Who gets to be a Beta Playtester?

We know lots of you are very excited and want to be part of the game. We need to keep the test manageable though, so we will only add a handful of people at a time. If you don’t get access right away, please stay patient, and please be aware that not everyone who wants to be a tester will get access.

Steam chooses testers for us at random out of all the registered people. We might do giveaways for Playtest Access keys on our social media, follow us on Bluesky or Instagram if you want to keep an eye out for that.

Can I stream/post about the Playtest if I get chosen?

Please don't. We'll have a lot of unfinished material in the playtest and we'd like to show our game from its best side in public. Having control over what we show where and being able to provide exclusive materials to selected press outlets is an important tool for the game's marketing, and we kindly ask you to refrain from harming that potential by leaking playtest footage.

Where can I report bugs or talk to fellow Playtesters?

We have a closed section on our Discord server for this. Once you get access to the playtest build, there will be a new invite link in the game’s main menu that gives you the relevant role. If you cannot join via your browser for some reason, you can also copy the invite link from there, go to “Find or start a Conversation” in your Discord DM overview and paste the Invite link in there, then tap “open invite”. This will also grant you the relevant role.

You can also send feedback through a Google Form: Press F7 in-game to send Feedback form or F8 to send a Bug Report.

A heartfelt thank you!

Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm, your patience and your support!!

We know all of you want to play the game as soon as possible, and this eagerness is incredibly motivating and lovely to see. We’re working full steam ahead to finish the game by the end of this year, and this playtest is just one important next step on that journey.
