Hi guys!
This is an exciting day for us. Finally the day has arrived for us to share what we’ve been working so hard on with the world!
Pre-Alpha trial
Introducing the pre-alpha on Steam trial. We’ve tested extensively ourselves, with a smaller group of testers and now we’re ready for testing with a great volume of players. Therefore we’ve decided to release the game as download
here. This to be able to gather feedback from our longtime supporters and fans. Originally we’d planned to do a closed alpha on Steam, but due to technical issues, it couldn’t be done over the weekend. We did not want to break our word on giving you access to the game, so this is the way we found around it.
This means, that anyone who follows the link will be able to test this version of the game. It does not in anyway change our promise to the people who bought the game before our announcement on August 26th. If you did, you will still get the game for free upon release directly in your Steam library. This download is a once off and will not be updated with bug fixes or anything else.
Restrictions on pre-alpha test
We would very much appreciate if you don’t make any let’s play videos of the game in it’s current form or share any game play footage on social media or elsewhere on the internet at this point. We’d also appreciate it if you refrain from uploading the game anywhere else on the internet as well.
Feedback on pre-alpha test
As we’ve mentioned, we’re doing his to enable you giving us feedback and helping us make the game even better before we release it on Steam.
Ingame (in settings menu) you should find a contact form that goes directly into our feedback system. Please use this with any and all feedback you have. Of course we will try to be as available as possible on our usual social media channels as well. But if you want to make sure we don’t miss your feedback, please use the form. If you want quick responses on anything, Twitter will at this point be your best bet for this.
So what does pre-alpha mean?
In addition to what’s described above, and what we’ve previously said about our upcoming alpha release in general, this means:
bugs are likely to happen, please let us know about them all
story progression might be illogical, for reasons that will become obvious when testing, we’ve not been able to play through every scenario that might happen through the seasons in the game, please note inconsistencies and logical gaps for us
spelling and grammar might be lacking, even though we’ve worked hard on keeping on top of this, mistakes may have slipped through, we’re human after all, please let us know about any you find.
Translations
We’re humbled and grateful that so many of you have been in touch about making translations for the game. It means the world to us. We’ll continue to update the files with the latest text files to enable continues translations.
Language packs will not work with this solution since that’s based on the Steam workshop. When the game is released on Steam you should easily be able to upload your language packs from inside the game.
If you have any more questions about this, or any technical issues regarding uploading, please contact us through Twitter or support@progamermanager.com and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Looking forward to hearing what you guys think!
