Good afternoon, explorers! Starting today, access to the Tesera playtest is open to everyone! Just click on the Request Access button on the game page and you will be automatically given access to install the client. Please note that the game is just now entering the alpha testing stage, and there is still a lot of work to be done. Many aspects of the game are not yet finalized or will change over time. But any feedback is always welcome, both here and on our Discord server. The main focus of this testing phase is to test how local worlds work. At the moment you will only be able to create a local world or join an existing multiplayer world. In order to open your world to your friends or anyone else, load the desired world and click the 'Manage Hosting' button in the 'WORLD' box inside the game.
