addedI am happy to announce that the Life of a Cockroach Playtest is now available for anyone who wants to try the game and experience what it's like to become a cockroach for the first time. As announced before, the goal of this playtest is to allow more people to try the basic systems of the game, such as player progression, tasks, scene changes, and the game's save and load systems. In addition, I want to gather feedback from players on the state of the gameplay and character movement, as these are fundamental to the overall experience of the game. Please note that in this test, the game is still in an early stage of development, so the available content, gameplay, and other elements are still being developed and will undergo changes over time.
addedThe intention now is polishing all these systems before adding new content for a demo version that hopefully will be stable and therefore enjoyable for all players interested in the project.
