Hi Critter Leaders,

Nice meeting y'all!

We are Rat2 Studio, a 2-person development team🐭. After more than a year of work, our game Galaxy Critter Co. has finally taken shape 🎉.

At this point, we plan to launch a small-scale technical test and hope to collect some feedback from players around the world!

⌚Playtest details:

• Application Start Date: You can now apply for the playtest on the store page.

• First Approval Date: Expected on August 15th (we hope everyone can play by Friday night!).

• Subsequent Applications: Applications submitted after August 15th will be approved within 1-3 days.

• Test End Date: Around August 31st.

If you encounter any bugs or have any suggestions, please share them with us via the in-game survey or through our official community channels. Your feedback would be incredibly important to a small team like us!

🎮About the Playtest Version:
This is still an early version, and the game’s balancing, art, and other aspects are still a work in progress.
In future demo, we plan to add:

• A complete game storyline

• some more new mechanics

• More buildings, weapons, items, and maps

-- Please just give us a bit more time!

Thank you for your support and participation!

Happy Bug Extermination!🛠️🐞

Brave Ones!

Today at 12:10 UTC, we will be performing unscheduled maintenance. The estimated downtime is 2 hours.

The game will be unavailable during this period. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding!

Hey everyone! We’ve just uploaded a minor update to the demo that fixes a few small issues. Here is the Changelog:

• Improved text chat: Improved text chat. Notifications now indicate when new messages arrive while viewing previous messages. Clicking a notification will scroll the chat to the latest message. Previously, new messages sometimes did not scroll correctly. This is now fixed.

• Friend invitations: Non-host players can now invite friends to the game.

• Graphics fixes: FXAA has been temporarily disabled due to an engine bug that caused crashes on low-end GPUs. DLSS has also been disabled on AMD GPUs to prevent crashes.

• Audio fixes: The mute function sometimes did not work after multiple session restarts. This is now fixed.

• Other fixes and adjustments: Several minor bugs have been fixed and quality-of-life improvements have been made.
