Signup for our first ever round of alpha testing is now open 🎉
After receiving so much incredible feedback on our demo, we thought it was time to open up the world of Wildmender to the community once again. In fact, many of the changes we’ve made were based on this community feedback, such as our upgraded tutorial system and our slick new UI 💚
This time, we’re keeping the numbers limited, so you’ll want to sign up as soon as possible to be in for a chance to test our latest build 🌱
Below, we’ve got more information about what this alpha build will contain, who can sign up, and how to sign up!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1599330/Wildmender/
Can I sign up for the alpha build if I didn’t play the demo?
Of course! We want to have a good mixture of new and experienced players testing this build, so all players are welcome to sign up.
Will I be able to use my demo save file in the alpha build?
You won’t be able to use your demo save file in the alpha build due to the difference between the two builds. We want our alpha testers to start from scratch, since we’ve made lots of exciting changes to the tutorial system and beginning of the game!
Don’t worry though, you won’t be locked out of your demo save file! You’ll still be able to play in your demo garden while cultivating your alpha garden. Just keep an eye out for the special instructions we’ll be sending to experienced players, so that you don’t accidentally bring your demo save file into the alpha build and potentially corrupt it!
Wait a second, where did the demo go?
We’ve taken our demo down from Steam in preparation for our alpha test, but you can still request a key for the demo in our Discord and get back to your desert adventure or start a new one!
What will I be testing as part of the latest alpha build?
We’ll be looking for feedback on two distinct parts of Wildmender, so we need both new and experienced players for this alpha test.
The first part will involve testing our new tutorial system and giving feedback on how well it works, so we’re looking for new players who haven’t seen the original tutorial from the demo. The second part will be exploring our brand new biome, the salt flats! We’d love to get feedback and suggestions on this biome from both new and experienced players 🏜️
The salt flats are more challenging to conquer than the desert, so we’d recommend that new players spend some extra time in the desert biome first before embarking on their next big adventure!
Can I get my friends to sign up too?
We’d love it if you shared this announcement with your friends and encouraged them to sign up!
The alpha build will support 4-player online co-op, so you can even play with your friends if you all get chosen as alpha testers 👥
