Closer look on gameplay shown during E3 events!
Over the last week we presented a closer look on Loot River - we've shown how combat works, controls scheme on a controller, how we approach procedural generation, and we even teased some new areas!
If you are curious to see how the game plays in action and missed those events, don't worry - we have the links ready:

Loot River Testing!
First and foremost thank you for the warm reception of our game :) We're getting great wishlist numbers and it's a really nice motivation to work even harder to deliver the best version of Loot River possible!
As we're progressing in the production we'd like to start testing the build with people who never experienced it before - you! We'll be making small Beta rounds in near future - mostly core gameplay loop with the first three areas, to catch any technical problems and improve core experience.
We'll be opening Beta signup on our Discord, hopefully before the end of April.
Thank you!
