Starting today, the Superpower Sandbox Steam page has a Request Access button. It is how you sign up for the Playtest: free and closed.
How access works. Players are let in in waves, so signing up does not guarantee a spot right away. The game becomes playable only once Valve approves the build, which is currently under review. I have no dates to give you and I would rather not make any up.
What you get. The Playtest version is 0.4.1 of the full game, still in development: it is not the demo. You can fly over the city, use Qi, kung fu, energy beams and telekinesis, and bring down some low buildings. There is no forced story.
The limits, plainly.
- Windows 64-bit. I have not verified any minimum requirements, so I cannot tell you for sure whether it will run on your PC.
- Keyboard and mouse are recommended: controller support is incomplete.
- Some buildings are indestructible.
- NPCs can sometimes get stuck.
- Animations, audio and swimming are placeholders.
- The first launch may freeze for a few seconds.
After you play. A survey of about 3 minutes would help me a lot. If the game crashes you can email phabdev+spcrash@gmail.com, but that is optional: the game does not send anything by itself.
That is all for now. I will post here once the build is approved.
