Songs of Glimmerwick Beta

Thank you for your interest in the Songs of Glimmerwick beta! There are two betas: one for the demo and one for the full game.

Danny Weinbaum @dannyweinbaum.bsky.social · 21d

I understand! It's typical for closed betas. We can't our prerelease build to anonymous people. Nor can we made anonymous people sign an NDA.

Haha no but glimmerwick does happen to be like that!

Danny Weinbaum @dannyweinbaum.bsky.social · Dec 1

haha true!

Danny Weinbaum @dannyweinbaum.bsky.social · Dec 1

Gated is a great word! 🙏 Thank you! When I think of elder scrolls style open-world I call it "point of interest open-world". As opposed to something like a final fantasy game, which thanks to your help I can call "gated open-world"!

Danny Weinbaum @dannyweinbaum.bsky.social · Dec 1

Does anyone know a word to describe an open-world game which is only open up to the areas you've unlocked? Like a lot of JRPGs? Like you can go anywhere you've been. But getting to new areas is gated behind story progress?

Danny Weinbaum @dannyweinbaum.bsky.social · Nov 21

Lol I googled "How does Eastshade end?" and google's AI summary gave me this goofy answer. What is the point of AI help when it's (usually not even fully) correct 80% of the time but 20% of the time so spectacularly wrong it's comical?

Danny Weinbaum @dannyweinbaum.bsky.social · Nov 18

Thanks for the mention!!!
