- Change to Playtests next week! In preparation for our game going live 24/7, we have a bunch of work to do. And it’s time for an extended test to help us get ready. So next week we are doing 14-hour playtests on Tuesday, July 1, and Thursday, July 3. Both tests start at 8:00am Pacific and end at 10pm Pacific. Our playtests are posted in the Events module of the official Stars Reach Discord for your convenience. https://discord.gg/starsreach
- We interviewed Playable Worlds animator John Brown yesterday on livestream. The recording is available here:

- Our next livestream is Thursday, July 3, at 11:00am Pacific. We have another giveaway planned for a Reacher Tier package on stream: twitch.tv/PlayStarsReach
- Backer Invites + Discord Backer Badge. Almost all of the backers have submitted their survey, but if you haven’t then search your email box. If you submitted your Backer Surveys before June 24th:
- New testers got an invite from FirstLook with a playtest schedule and instructions. (Check your spam folder if you don’t see it!)
- Existing testers will not get a new invite, your Discord role should now show a Backer badge. Not yet? Log into FirstLook.gg and synch.
