    Second Closed Beta Playtest Announcement

    Hi again everyone!

    It's been a little over a month since the first closed beta ended, and I want to say a heartfelt thank you to the beta testers. The feedback you all gave was truly invaluable. I've been able to polish the game in ways that would've taken me months to achieve on my own. Thank you so so much for everything!

    I've addressed all the bugs you reported and implemented most of the feedback I received. For those in the Within the Cosmos Discord server, you've probably seen my weekly changelogs/patch notes detailing the progress that I've been able to do. I'm really excited for you to test this more polished version, and see the improvements since the first beta.

    The previous beta was a tremendous success, and I genuinely loved the experience, largely because of the amazing people who took part in it. Also, while I do as much testing as possible on my own, a larger group is essential to catch issues I might miss. These two reasons are why I've decided to run another closed beta, and I aim to double the amount of testers this time. Priority will go to those who are active in the community forums or social media and who have expressed a genuine interest in Within the Cosmos.

    If you're a previous tester, I'd really love to have you participate in this beta as well.*

    You can apply here via this Google form.
    This survey will close on 19 January at 00:00 UTC.
    The beta itself will run from 17 January at 00:00 UTC until 20 January at 00:00 UTC.

    Over the next couple of days, I will reach out to those selected via email with an invitation to the beta Discord server, and instructions to download the beta.

    Google Form: Apply Here

    What to Expect:
    • Access to a portion of the game, including the starting area and the first city.
    • Most gameplay mechanics, and features are in place.
    • Your feedback will help refine the gameplay loop, improve performance, and identify bugs or areas needing polish.
    • If you have any suggestions for Quality of Life improvements or changes, please feel free to share them!
    How to Join:

    Fill out the Google form to apply.
    I'll review applications and select testers based on the information provided.

    Thank you so much to everyone who applied last time, I hope you'll apply again! There were many of you that I wanted to invite previously, but due to my limited experience in running betas, I had to keep its scale manageable, but I'm excited to expand this time.

    I can't wait to hear your thoughts and see how you enjoy the improvements!

    - debdev

    * For previous beta testers: If you don't want to go through the effort of re-applying through Google forms, simply message me on Discord, and I'll send over the beta key when the beta begins :)
