It's been a long time coming and I'm so excited for you all to get your hands on the beta and let me know what you think. Your feedback is so essential to helping make The Cave Diver the best experience it can be!

As this playtest begins, access will be limited to a select number of users who request access. As a solo developer self publishing this game, this limited access is necessary at the moment for me to give this playtest my full attention. This will change as the playtest progresses though and I'll be granting more access as time goes on.

• Head over to The Cave Diver steam store page.

• Hit the Green "Request Access" button below "Join the The Cave Diver Playtest".

• Once given access, you will receive an email from steam and the "The Cave Diver Playtest" will be added to your steam library

• Give the playtest a try and Submit your feedback using this form![docs.google.com]

I want to give everyone excited for this playtest and the chance to provide feedback an opportunity to participate. I really value the feedback from everyone who has been interested in this game and the development of it through this whole process.

If you didn't receive playtest access and you're someone who fits this description...

Then you can head over to The Cave Diver Discord Server[discord.gg] and request a key on the #playtest-request channel!

I will do my best to grant access to everyone there :)

The Discord also has a #playtest-feedback channel where everyone is welcome to share more feedback beyond the feedback form[docs.google.com].

Sharing this gif from the very first prototype. How time flies...

Thank you again for your continued support throughout this whole development. This whole development process and the love and excitement I've received from you all surrounding this game has been beyond anything I imagined when I started. Thank you for keeping up with the game, wishlisting, following, playtesting, sharing, and everything else throughout this past year. The game wouldn't be where it is today without everyone's love and feedback and I can't wait for you to try this beta!

Hey Everyone!

First I want to thank you all for getting The Cave Diver to reach over 20,000 wishlists! This is an incredible milestone for me and I'm so grateful for everyone who has taken the time to either try out the demo, share the game, wishlist, or follow it over this past year.

While public updates here on Steam have been sparse, I'm happy to say this is because I've been working hard to finish the game over the last few months. With that said, the game is just about complete and I'm ready to have all of you try out the Beta Playtest starting next week on May 27th!

• Head over to The Cave Diver steam store page.

• Hit the Green "Request Access" button below "Join the The Cave Diver Playtest".

  

• Wait for May 27th and you will receive an email granting you access to the playtest through your steam library.

• Provide your feedback on the official discord server!

Since updates have been a bit slow... Here is a little preview of what you can expect if you make it far enough...

As for the full game, the final release is not far off. I can't announce exactly when yet but it will be soon!

If you would like to keep up with all updates and future news regarding the release, follow the game on steam, wishlist, and join the Discord!

There you can learn how I somehow spent 30+ hours straight on positioning background rock sprites.
