Playtest Roundup & What's Next

Internal Memorandum: Appropriate Use of Proxies

To all Certified Proxy Handlers,

Plutus Corporation reminds all handlers that proxies are productivity instruments, not companions.

Recent incident reports include:

• Handlers apologizing to Proxies

• Handlers thanking Proxies for their work

• One Handler allowing a proxy to choose its own route

These behaviours demonstrate dangerous empathy leakage. Proxies require input commands, nothing more. Maintain professional distance at all times.

Playtest Roundup

Hey everyone!

Thanks to everyone who took part in the latest playtest. Overall, things went really well and helped confirm we’re heading in the right direction!

We received some great feedback in Steam forums and in our Discord, particularly around item descriptions and a fun logic bug around directions and typos!

The playtest was a small slice of the game and we’ve been working on a fair bit more since then:

• More to explore - We're expanding the areas aboard the Pelican to introduce new spaces and situations for proxies to navigate!

• General QoL improvements - Based on feedback, we're improving clarity around certain actions and tightening up directional movement

• Introducing certain…fungal elements🍄 - We've built a solid foundation to start adding some of the stranger elements you'll encounter in the full game. You'll soon see something become more present, and much harder to ignore...

Thanks again for all the feedback so far, it’s been incredibly useful! And join our Discord for more regular updates!
