Salvage Wars Version 0.2.1

Salvage Wars now has a home on itch.io for private playtest distribution and mirrored devlogs going forward.

Itch Page

The new restricted itch.io page for the game is live here:

https://driftcascade.itch.io/salvage-wars

It is password protected for the private playtest, and if you’re in the playtest I’ll send the password via DM.

It will be the main place I use to distribute future playtest builds and mirror development updates.

Unity Analytics

This build adds Unity Analytics integration, along with a consent prompt on first launch and a Settings toggle you can change later.

Analytics is important for capturing automated playtest data that helps with balance updates and bug fixes, so if you’re participating in testing, please allow it.
