Dear players,

We are very excited to announce that Dawnmaker will be available in Japanese on its release day, July 31st! It will come alongside the English and French translations. Japanese is already available in the demo: play it now. ;)

We’ve also just shipped one last update before the release, with a big gameplay change, shiny new frames for the cards, bug fixes and some minor balancing on the content. And we’re using this opportunity to start a playtest of the full game, open to anyone and everyone starting… now, on Steam! The playtest will be open for about 24 hours, so if you want to give it a go before the release, and help us make sure there are no bugs in the game, now is your time.

To playtest the game, go to the Steam page of Dawnmaker, and click “Request access” in the playtest box. That’s it, you’ll then get to play the game as much as you like for the next 24 hours. Let us know what you think about the game here, in our Discord server or by pressing F8 anywhere in the game!

Now, on to the full changelog, and we’ll see you again in 2 days for the full release of Dawnmaker. :)
