Rotwood is Now in Early Access!

[JoeW]

Here we go again!
Rotwood is now in Early Access! Once again, we want to extend a huge “THANK YOU” to all of our playtesters and fans who have helped us up to this point. We appreciate the support and we can’t wait for you to see the results of that effort.

While we do try our best to make Early Access an enjoyable experience for our players, this is a time of active development, feedback, and changes. If you prefer to wait until the game is more fully formed, we totally understand, and we’ll be sure to let everybody know before any future price changes.

What is Rotwood?
If you’re not yet familiar with Rotwood; you should check out the Early Access announcement here. There is a lot of great information about the game and Early Access details in there for you.

What’s next?
For those of you who aren’t familiar with how we handle Early Access, you can expect an update post that will describe our priorities and a description of the general development cadence. We then reevaluate internally at various times and provide a new plan as we approach the delivery of what was outlined.

While we already have an idea of what we want to do, we would like to give the game some time to simmer with the community so we can listen carefully before committing to our next steps. It’s important to us to deliver on our plan properly and for that, we need to get a better sense of what you think of the game versus what we are attempting to deliver.

For now, our focus is entirely on gathering early feedback and bug reports and continuing work on the first big update. More details to come soon!

Thanks again, and have fun!

Hello there!
If there is any change of playing new Klei game on macOS, please send me a message to inform about. That is a potential a way to wait new Hades II, but in so comfy design and with unique heart and soul for this game.
With all kind and respect!

Hey Klei, I'm so glad this game exists. Extremely fun game!! I can't wait to get achievements, this one (other than DST) is really something that seems to be missing!

Still no intro, I see

[The Starver]

I can't WAIT!! Kinda sad that testers don't appear to get anything special, though.

Love the game, was really waiting to get playing but can't get my charater from the demo. Would be tragic to loose all the 8 hours I played

[Ggd33]

I wanna play it on MacOs

Amazing game guys, we are enjoying a lot! Think that i would like to see in the future:

- Full character stats during a run.
- Number of bullets left on the canyon.
- Spanish Language.

- Damage you are making during the run. (just to compare the DPS of the run with your teammates and help to decide which skill build you take)

 

Its an amazing game keep going like this!!

Thanks!
