Week 8 Dev Log: Milestone Reached & The Road to Testing

Major Milestone: First Playable Alpha Uploaded

The core game mechanics are officially set, and the first playable alpha version of the game has been successfully uploaded to Steam! I am currently waiting for Valve’s approval. Once cleared, this build will serve as the foundation for the upcoming testing phases.

Preparing for Testing

Behind the scenes, preparation is underway to handle and distribute testing codes. As soon as Steam approves the build, keys will be deployed to the dedicated group of players who volunteered to help break, test, and polish the game.

Current Focus: Bug Hunting & Content Expansion

While waiting for the build approval, development hasn't slowed down. The current focus is split between aggressive bug squashing and continuing to build out deeper content to enrich the overall experience:

• Narrative & Design: Writing and implementing side missions and their accompanying narratives.

• AddedPolishWorking on new animations and, time permitting, cinematic video sequences.

The Timeline ⏳

I am pushing hard for a late June release, and every available hour is being poured into development to ensure the project remains strictly on track with that goal.

Developer Note: To everyone who has volunteered to test or followed along so far—thank you. If you want to support a solo developer and help feed the Steam algorithm, please take a second to add the game to your Wishlist! It makes a massive difference.
