This build reflects a massive, heroic push from our 5-person indie team. Your support and consideration mean the world!
What’s New
Here’s a glimpse at what we’ve improved since the last build (full patch notes coming soon):
Balance pass on building, crafting, research costs, enemy loot, creature placement, and respawn rates for resources and enemies
Enhanced signs and feedback for encumbrance, hunger, and thirst
Bug fix for a game-breaking bug involving inventory
Fixed a few crashes
Addressed popping of faraway terrain
Known Issues
There are still a few bugs we're in the process of squashing, including "dematerializing" base buildings and crafting stations breaking if the player exits to the main menu and loads into game. We're on it!
Why This Matters
This demo is our chance to bring The Signal to a wider audience — both through Steam Next Fest and the incredible community already supporting us over on Kickstarter. If you’ve wishlisted the game, now’s the time to jump in and explore.
This is our Alpha build; the demo lets us give more players access to the game, and gives the development team even more feedback.
The world of Sirenis is waiting — and every bit of feedback helps us make it better.
