Play Test

The game is now in a place that I feel comfortable with. Now, seeing as time is running out, it’s time to make the game playable. Certain details of my game, such as ore health and item prices have been left as drafted in my initial creation. These details will need to be changed for the sake of game balancing and will also make the game more fun. For this playtest I will be testing the game myself but also handing it to other people to test so that I get a better insight. Every Player will have their own playstyle and will be able to pick up bugs / changes to the game that need to be fixed / made, changes that I won’t realise need to be made.
