Hey friends! Excited to say that the playtest for Mudborne is launching now on Steam! You can request access over on the the store page here, just scroll down a bit to the "Join the Mudborne Playtest" section and click the big button! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2355150/Mudborne/ The playtest will unlock starting this weekend <3
This will be a playtest of the full game, limited to the first 3 regions - Spawning Pools, Central Junction, and Kindergarten. If you've played the demo this will still be quite different, as the demo has it's own map. If you can't wait to play Mudborne this is the time to get a froggy fix!

Why Playtest?

The goal of the playtest is mainly just to see how people find it, both APICO players and new players alike, and check you're all having fun. I have no expectations for anyone who wants to try it out, however there is a feedback form linked in-game that I'd appreciate you filling in when you're done! Any bug reports are also appreciated <3
The playtest is limited to 3 areas and only contains 1/3 of all frogs, mushrooms, and bugs of the full game. I'd say there's maybe 10 hours of content-ish but I genuinely have no clue! If you want to chat with other players, you can use the new shiny channel "mudborne-playtest" channel in the discord to discuss the playtest and help avoid other players getting spoilers.
It's worth noting that playtest saves will NOT be able to be used in the full game, as like the demo they also have their own map.

When Playtest?

I'll be granting access to anyone waiting in the queue starting this weekend! If you're a streamer or content creator it's okay to make streams/videos, just make sure it's clear to your viewers this is part of the playtest not the final release If you're still holding out for release to play everything then 1. I applaud your resolve and 2. you won't have to wait too much longer...

Snacktorio is a factory-cooking simulator where you must satisfy the appetites of unspeakable horrors... with food! Build and manage sprawling networks of machines & pipes to mass produce delicious meals that can satiate the endless hunger of the beasts that are invading your home. Order Up!

As one of the remaining chefs in your tribe, the responsibility of maintaining the balance with the monsters through the tasty medium of food has fallen on your grubby lil hands. Can you turn the tide on the ever growing threat of invasion, while proving your status as a Witchelin Star chef?

• Factory simulation in a 2D platforming setting
  
• Explore and mine for ores, resources, and spices
  
• Mass-produce food through automated cooking machines
  
• Take & fufill orders from all sorts of insatiable hangry beasts
  
• Build and manage networks of pipes to get ingredients where they need to be
  
• Experience all the stress of managing a restaurant without any of the pay!

This game is being created by indie dev duo TNgineers, (Ell and their brother Jamie), inspired by their love of factory simulation games.

They wanted to make something satisfyingly complex without using the same tired sci-fi theme for the genre, and dive into how different recipes could be made in interesting ways when using an RPG-esque setting.
