changedFirst Playtest Concludes!It was awesome to see so many people with very high play times during the playtest! It was open for only 60 hours, yet we saw many people hitting above 30 hours played!! Wow. This first playtest went very well! Aside from some server hiccups, which will be ironed out before the next playtest, the overall experience was positive for most participants. The bug reports and feedback we’ve received so far have provided solid guidance on what to improve.
addedFirst Playtest Concludes!We appreciate your patience while we kept this initial playtest small (only 350 people played!) so we could test the servers and gameplay before juggling the added chaos of inviting more participants.
addedFirst Playtest Concludes!We’re already working on many improvements, including the inventory and crafting systems, food and water mechanics (including adding water wells this week!), new content & a whole lot more!
changedWhat's Next!We will be hosting another closed playtest very soon, and plan to invite many more people as we ramp up server and feature testing. We’ll announce the date and details soon! For the next one, ALL members who have already signed up for playtest access via Discord will be invited, in addition to many Steam invites!

If you participated in the playtest and haven’t provided feedback yet, please fill out the form that was emailed to you or submit feedback on Discord. It’s such a huge help!
What's Next!
We will be hosting another closed playtest very soon, and plan to invite many more people as we ramp up server and feature testing. We’ll announce the date and details soon! For the next one, ALL members who have already signed up for playtest access via Discord will be invited, in addition to many Steam invites!
Ahead of the next playtest, we will host community polls to decide which ideas to implement and what to include.
I'm so excited to share all the new things coming to ORMOD. Stay tuned!
