I didn't see that latter part, the q&a answers on their discord say they are unsure of how many playtests they will run until they allow some form of access not tied to a playtest :D
I hope it's more often than that though because the game looks promising.


Haven't been on their discord. Only heard about this when watching some bigger streamers. Saying there will be a playtest in february and then every 2nd month. But like i said it's only a rumor.

It’s been about 2 months or so between each, this next one is sooner tho which is nice. Right in the middle of my work schedule though 😆

Their discord says during Steam’s NextFest Feb6-13th so somewhere around then

Voted no. We had more demand for Rust and it was never implemented.

That’s not really a valid reason to vote no on for something lol.
But to each their own :)

Feb 6th to the 13th for next playtest!

From their discord:

"@everyone, Are you ready for Steam’s Next Fest?
The Steam Next Fest is a multi-day celebration of upcoming games where you can explore and play hundreds of game demos, including Dark and Darker!

Dark and Darker plans to participate by releasing a limited time demo that will be playable during the duration of the festival.

We plan to open the demo a little early to ensure we get any issues resolved before the official start of the Next Fest.

The Dark and Darker Next Fest start times:
US West (Oregon) - February 6, 2023 4:00 AM
US East (Virginia) - February 6, 2023 7:00 AM
SA Brazil (Sao Paulo) - February 6, 2023 9:00 AM
EU Central (Frankfurt) - February 6, 2023 1:00PM
SEA (Singapore) - February 6, 2023 8:00 PM
East Asia (Seoul) - February 6, 2023 9:00 PM
Oceania (Sydney) - February 6, 2023 11:00 PM

At the start of the playtest a ‘demo’ button will appear on our Steam store page. You will need to download and launch the demo version of Dark and Darker in order to participate in the Next Fest playtest. We will announce the exact ending times for the playtest later. Thanks again for all your support!"

I disagree with it being hard but I agree if they implement the correct features, trading could be worthwhile.

A sum up of their interview about the upcoming playtest this week.

---Final Update for 2/1/23 QnA---
Playtest Length: Feb 6th - Feb 13th
New Dungeon: Mines Single Floor Dungeon with Troll Boss and is "Solo Queue Only" and "max drop rarity is Epic"
Wizard Changes: "Current Wizard is based on our first attempt at a magic system... will likely need changes"
Skill Tree: "No Skill Tree this Playtest"
Launch Time: 7 AM EST Launch, must "redownload game as demo," or (unconfirmed) attempt a file repair
Early Access: "Early Access Late-April to May, MUST release with Floor 1"
Floor 1: No Floor 1 development has begun, discussion on outside/sunlight "has been discussed internally"
Blocking: "Not actively looking at" blocking changes, but are "smoothing out that system by checking collision boxes"
Two Handed Weapons: "may have gone overboard on two handed weapons," "not returning to October's no movement penalty," but it is changing
Maul Swings: "we haven't touched that" in regards to the horizontal swinging of two handed Mauls
Speeds: "we will now look into" stacking speed penalties
Gold Storage: "we haven't touched anything about gold storage," "good chance in the future we're going to implement it"
Trading Post: "we're close to the Trading Post being what we wanted," but "we're making changes to make it more... functional"
Shared Stash: the idea is "on hold"
VOIP: "IT WILL BE IN THE GAME THIS PLAYTEST"
VoIP Muting: "You just press it and it mutes it" (in regards to in-game voice muting for streamers/bad actors/etc.)
Bards: "hopefully next time"
Sorcerer: "I kinda gave away that it's coming as well" (not this test)
Skills/Classes/Etc: "Not much (added)," "Maybe one or two"
In-Game Party Finder: "in-game chat room with inspect feature based on regions"
Karma: "system based on team killing that will mark you if you do it too much"
Team Kill Protection: "like team killing... is actually part of Dark and Darker," "if the community degenerates... draw a harder line"
Bulk Buying/Selling: "we do have a solution, it does sell stack items now"
Rubysilver: "We just slashed [rubysilver requirements] in half"
Quests: "[in the future?] yes." "...will see preliminary system in the next playtest."
