great progress! an experimental, small foxhood playtesting discord opens!!! come join, link is in the post!

i'd been continually working on the foxhood demo, and so far things have been going great! progress has been consistent and i'm feeling very inspired and motivated! that, and i have some exciting news: i opened up an experimental discord for some patrons to be able to try out foxhood as it's being developed, before and after the summer demo releases! specifically, you won't be able to do anything right away when you join, but i'll be selecting at max (for now) 10-20 people largely at random over time with the Playtester role, unlocking all the relevant channels in the discord itself! there's even a build you can play right now if you are selected as a playtester! i'm aiming for at least 1 build a month, with there likely being more as needed if progress is fast or any other reason!

there are a few requirements, however!

• you need a Windows computer to run the game! specs aren't much of a concern currently, it's just a 2D game in Unity!

• you must not share the builds, footage of the builds, or screenshots of the builds anywhere outside of the playtesting discord! the joy of surprise is an aspect i value a lot in the way i make art, so please respect that!

while i'd prefer playtesters that participate in sharing their thoughts and suggestions, nothing is expected of you! if you just have fun playing the builds on your own as they come out and that's the extent of you using the server, that's fine with me! also, i'll still be sharing weekly updates here on foxhood, what's been added, and how it's going on this patreon! the playtesting builds are just a cool bonus for whoever gets selected! plus, if you ever need to cancel your patronage, you'll still be a playtester!

also do keep in mind, this is somewhat of an experiment, so it may not last in the event it doesn't work out for one reason or another, but i think it'd be a cool thing to at least try out! i'll be spreading out distribution of the Playtester role across multiple days so it's not a "first come, first serve" thing!

all that out of the way, come on down and join the playtesting discord if you're interested! here's the link: https://discord.gg/GBbRrdBV8m
