Open Playtests for Isletopia now available! + New Arcade Mode to try out
Hello everyone,
we just started an Open pre-Alpha playtests for our relaxing turn-based strategy of greenifying barren islands, Isletopia, which will last until May 5th!
Everyone can now try out the early version, and provide sincere feedback on the current game state and feel. We have a few months left to devote to the development, and we’d want to polish it as much as we can for the official global release. * If you’ve played the closed version from the previous weeks, then you can now see some changes in the open version - for example: Arcade Mode. Let us know which mode you like more ;)
Everyone who provides feedback (complete a short survey) on the game after playing it, can get his/her username/ or name included in the game credits!!
**For all further discussion about Isletopia check out Forum here on Steam or join us on the Discord (subchannel: #isletopia-playtests-updates). You’re most welcome to join!
***the game is currently only available to play on Windows
