Hands On
First outside hands on a playable slice. They survived. Mostly.
Put a rough playable slice in front of people who aren't me this week. Terrifying and clarifying. They built factories I never would have, walled themselves into corners I never anticipated, and one of them beat a wave by venting a byproduct line into the swarm — which, honestly, we're now calling a feature.
The loop holds up in strangers' hands. That's the milestone that actually matters. Co-op's next on the bench.
STATUS: first external playtest survived. Notes: 200 and counting.
