Hello!
We are soon beginning the Open Playtest on Steam (July 8th at 10 am CEST) and everyone's invited!

But first, we'd like to thank all the people who have already played the closed demo, sent us comments, and recorded or streamed the footage (or are planning to do so). You and your viewers have provided us with a ton of useful ideas and feedback.

Since we still had a little time before tomorrow, we managed to smooth out a couple of issues. Here are some notes:


1. Gamepads and wheel controllers

There were some issues reported, especially with newer controllers (like PS5 DualSense or Logitech G923). The bugs have been fixed.


2. Optimization

We have introduced some fixes regarding display resolution, which should help with framerate issues encountered on some specs. Optimization is something we will of course keep working on until the September release (and beyond).


3. Settings

We've disabled the settings on purpose, as we are still working on some features. We hope you will understand, even though it’s cool to set all options to your favorite.


4. Sound volume control

We got feedback that the game seemed a little loud, which you can’t change in-game due to blocked settings. For now, please use the Windows sound mixer.


5. Languages

As of today, we feature 16 languages. We are aware not all translations are perfect yet but decided to enable them all in the open playtest just the same. We'll update with corrections soon, but after the playtest.



We're looking forward to more feedback.

Don't forget about the Open Playtest on Steam (July 8th at 10am CEST - July 10th at 10am) - play, get high scores and win prizes!
