In case you missed it...

In case you missed it, I'm looking for feedback on a thing I'm working on. It's not much so far, just a short prelude and a chapter, about 10k words in all. But in case anyone would be up for beta reading it and offering feedback (I've got a little questionnaire prepared to help with the feedback), I'm willing to share. I don't have a name for it yet, but it's an adventure story in a hybrid sci-fi/fantasy setting, featuring both human and anthro characters on an alien world; kind of a mashup of themes and concepts from the Borderlands games and more traditional fantasy fare (particularly the modern era of Legend of Zelda games).
If a proper elevator pitch for the story itself helps, I whipped this up: "There's a distant alien world of magic and mystery, settled by an uneasy alliance of anthros and humans and carved up by corporations. In an expanse of territory dotted with ancient alien ruins, a couple of locals stumble onto a lost human explorer and through her become aware of a madman's plot for conquest and godhood. Explosions, gunplay, and other shenanigans ensue."
If it matters, I don't have any sort of ETA on completing more of it -- there's some stuff I've neglected that I want to get caught up on while I give people a bit of time to hopefully express interest and go over it. But hey, maybe if I get a positive enough response, that'll have an effect on my priorities. Who knows.
Anyhow, thanks for taking the time to read this. If you're interested in hearing more about the story, the setting, or just want to give the first chapter a once-over, feel free to reach out. Thanks.
