Join the Playtest - Controller Support, Genetic Update, Photo Mode & More!

Hi Ranchers! I have been working behind the scenes on an update for The Ranch of Rivershine, and the beta is now ready for playtesters to join in!

Here’s an overview of the changes coming in this update:

• Controller support

• Genetic update

• New coat colors

• Photo mode

• QOL improvements and bugfixes

One of the QOL improvement includes the ability to interact with certain object from horseback, such as shop counters, combetition boards and travel stones!

Join the beta!

I’m now looking for playtesters to help me find bugs and ensure the game is running as smoothly as possible. Whether you’re interested in discovering the new breeding system, snapping pictures in photo mode or horsing around with a controller, I’d love to have you playtest the game!

You can join the Cozy Bee Discord server here to report bugs and follow updates, or simply join the beta through Steam! I’ll be monitoring this thread for bug reports and general feedback.

If you've previously used Steam Input to play Rivershine with a controller, make sure to reset your Steam Input to the official layout for The Ranch of Rivershine.

Here’s a step by step guide to join the beta:

• Right-click “The Ranch of Rivershine” in your Steam library.

• Select “Properties” from the menu.

• Select the “Game Versions & Betas” tab.

• Type “ rivershinebeta ” under the “Private Versions” field and press “Check Code”

• Click on the blue button that appears to opt into the beta.

• To leave the beta, you can select “None” from the “Beta Participation” drop-down menu.

I appreciate your feedback a lot and will do my best to continue improving the game!

Thank you all!
