[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p][/p][p]We’re excited to finally share a first glimpse of our game with you! After years of long nights, countless iterations, and endless cups of coffee, we’re releasing a chill playtest of Dark Laws on Steam. This isn’t the full game, but it’s a chance for you to explore, experiment, and get a feel for the world we’ve been building.[/p][p][/p][p]In this playtest, you’ll wander around Telos Island, a place filled with mysterious loot, weapons, and spells with one of 9 heroes. You can pick up loot, test out your abilities, and just enjoy the game at your own pace—no enemies, no pressure, just exploration.[/p][p][/p][p]Keep your eyes open while exploring… you might stumble across a Dragon Horn, a legendary artifact that lets you soar through the skies atop a mighty dragon.[/p][p][/p][p]Here’s a quick rundown of the controls:[/p][p]WASD – Move around[/p][p]Shift – Run[/p][p]Ctrl - Crouch [/p][p]Left Mouse Button – Melee light attack[/p][p]Right Mouse Button – Heavy attack[/p][p]F – Shield[/p][p]Q – Magic[/p][p]E - Pick Up Loot / Use Portal [/p][p]Tab – Open inventory (drag and drop items for selection and removing from inventory)[/p][p]H - Call Dragon with the dragon horn (point to a clean area on the ground)[/p][p]Alt+F4 - Exit Game[/p][p][/p][p]We also want to be upfront: this is an early playtest, so some things might not work perfectly. Expect a few bugs or quirks—that’s all part of the testing and learning process.[/p][p][/p][p]The idea was to create a sandbox feel, where you can play around with combat, loot, and magic, and really get a sense of how the full game might play. Think of it as a place to wander, experiment, and have fun without worrying about scores or rankings.[/p][p][/p][p]A little about our journey:[/p][p]Dark Laws has been a labor of love for the last 4 years. From the very beginning, our goal was to build a world that feels alive, full of exploration, and rewarding to engage with. Along the way, we’ve faced challenges, learned a ton, and grown as a team. This playtest is a milestone—not the finish line—but we hope it gives you a taste of what’s to come.[/p][p][/p][p]We can’t wait to hear your feedback on Discord, see what you discover on Telos Island, and start building this community together. Your support, ideas, and enthusiasm mean the world to us, and we’re thrilled to finally share this part of the adventure with you.[/p][p][/p][p]We hope you enjoy it![/p][p][/p][p]— The GVA Game Studio Team[/p]
