Noble's Life playtests start next week!

Dear nobles,

we know that we made you wait for quite a while, but we are on the final stretch! Thus we can finally announce that the second playtests of Noble's Life: Kingdom Reborn will begin on Tuesday 28.11.2023, sometime after 1pm.

What will be available in the playtest?

As for the content of the shared fragment of the game, we will present additions and features we announced during the October Steam Next Fest (details here).

More specifically, the first two rounds (months in the game) shown during the February playtests got significantly improved (also thanks to your suggestions!) and, most importantly, developed further. Hence, you will be able to explore the city after the enemy invasion and have a lot of additional interactions.

The city has not yet fully recovered, but the player's actions can speed that up.

There will also be queue control, warehouse and letter writing mechanics, and a few other minor ones. In addition, we will share a fragment of the third, never-before-presented month/turn, the content of which we do not want to spoil, although it will introduce the beginnings of many promised mechanics.

You will also see and hear major changes in graphics and audio. We added, among others, more than twice as many animations as the version of the game from the February playtest had. In terms of sound, we increased the number of different sounds to make the environment feel more alive. Unfortunately, there will be no dubbing yet. Yes, it is planned, but we should expect this addition in the next presented version of the game. We are sticking to our plan to show the game multiple times before its premiere and benefit from your opinions.

Additionally, unfortunately, there are still some minor bugs in the game, animation stutters, missing sounds, strange behaviour of NPCs, etc. We have already fixed the most serious problems, we will continue to correct the minor ones until the start of the playtests and also during them. Although, it is possible that we may not fix all those issues by then. However, we did not want to postpone the playtests any further, and ultimately the game is still a late alpha version.

How to join the playtests?

To join the playtests, you must be logged in to your Steam account. Go to the Noble's Life Steam page, scroll down a bit and click Request Access.

The people who signed up for the first playtest in February 2023, do not have to ask for access again. We are going to grant it to those players.

Important information - people who did not participate in the first playtest will be additionally informed via mail about the beginning of the playtest. This will not be the case for the people who participated in the first playtest (that's how Steam works).

Therefore, we encourage you to follow our Steam page and add Noble's Life to your wishlist and follow it, because then information about news like this will be more accessible.

The playtest will last about two weeks, but the precise ending date will be given after they start.

If you have any questions - feel free to ask in the comments here or on our Discord server (https://discord.gg/6TS85b3PGY).

We hope you will like the new version of the early stages of Noble's Life!
