Development Update: Steam Playtest Is in the Works
Hello, wanderers. It has been a while since Kuiper Wanderer was first revealed in May. I have not posted many updates since then, but development has never stopped. I have been building, adjusting, revisiting the experience, and adding more content throughout these past months. Kuiper Wanderer is a space sandbox set against the vastness of space. Your journey begins with a small ship—or perhaps next to nothing—as you find your way between settlements and trade routes. Repair your ship, trade for a living, explore ruins, recruit companions, refit your equipment, and gradually earn the means to venture farther into the frontier. Lately, most of my attention has gone into the opening stretch of that journey. Rather than guiding everyone down a corridor of quests in a fixed order, I want Arrokoth to feel like a small region where you are genuinely free to choose what comes next. You might focus on trade, search for wrecks and opportunities, or spend your time building up your ship and crew. I want those choices to leave a mark on the people, places, and wider region around you. Now I am preparing for the project's next step: Steam Playtest. You can already request Playtest access from the Steam store page. The Playtest will begin once the project is ready, but I am not announcing a date yet. I would rather make sure the first public test build has a complete, stable, and worthwhile core experience than promise a date that may need to change. When the Playtest build is ready, access will be granted in waves according to the state and scale of the test. Requesting access does not mean that you will be admitted immediately. As testing continues, I will gradually invite more players aboard. This will still be a work-in-progress build. You may encounter bugs, uneven balance, unclear guidance, and unfinished content. That is also exactly why I am opening a Playtest: I want to see what players actually choose, where they lose their way, which systems are genuinely enjoyable, a...Read full article on Community Announcements (Λουκα)AnnouncementsOfficial
