Starting with v0.7.18, PMDO has the option to unlock the full game for playtesting.


This version of the game has all dungeons fully featured. You will be able to clear all main-path dungeons and see the credits roll. However, NPCs and questlines are still very much incomplete. Additionally, postgame dungeons that unlock after completing the credits are incomplete. This option exists for people who are not interested in the story and want to help improve the final release of PMDO by providing their playtest data and impressions.


If you would like to help with playtesting the full game, please follow these guidelines:

Before Starting

It is recommended that you start the game on a BRAND NEW SAVE FILE.Your existing file is saved in the SAVE/ directory, which you can copy to a safe location before deleting it.

Additionally, it is recommended that you CLEAR ALL REPLAYS before starting, to make it easier to send your entire adventure when finished. You can back up your existing replays in REPLAY/ before deleting them.

When playtesting the Release candidate, make sure you have all Mods turned OFF to test the game with its intended balance.

Unlocking

When you begin the game, repeatedly interact with the sign until it asks you to unlock the half-finished story.

Say yes, and the full game is unlocked! Play the game as you would normally, and once you reach the final staff roll or get bored, zip up your REPLAYS/ and send them to Audino.

You can reach Audino through Discord.
