The first Nightwater playtest ends today!

I would like to thank all players who tested Nightwater and shared their feedback on the current version.

The next version of Nightwater will include the following:

  • Bug fixes and QOL improvements

  • Better controller support

  • All boxes will have inputs and outputs

  • Mechanics will be better explained and described

  • Pacing will be improved

  • Permanent upgrades will be cheaper

  • Less grinding and faster rewards

  • The overworld will have more interactables

  • More options for graphics and gameplay

  • Meshes will be changed for better representation of resources

  • Other minor improvements

If I decide to go for another playtest, it will take place in a few weeks.

Next up is the launch of the demo, which will go live in 1-2 months and remain online until the launch of Nightwater. The Demo will include Japanese, Chinese, Russian and Korean localization. If you want to know more about Nightwater, have questions, or want to test the game in the closed playtest, join the Discord server!
