Join the beta!

I’m now looking for playtesters to help me find bugs and ensure the game is running as smoothly as possible. Whether you’re interested in discovering the new breeding system, snapping pictures in photo mode or horsing around with a controller, I’d love to have you playtest the game!

You can join the Cozy Bee Discord server here to report bugs and follow updates, or simply join the beta through Steam! I’ll be monitoring this thread for bug reports and general feedback.

If you've previously used Steam Input to play Rivershine with a controller, make sure to reset your Steam Input to the official layout for The Ranch of Rivershine.

Here’s a step by step guide to join the beta:

I appreciate your feedback a lot and will do my best to continue improving the game!

Thank you all!
