Greetings everyone!
It is about time we got started on a development blog for Trailmakers. We want to share with you what we are working on so you know where the game is headed. First, a quick note on current Trailmakers versions.
Alpha Demo and Alpha Testing
The Trailmakers you might have seen clips from on YouTube is the Alpha Demo. It has an expedition course with a few different challenges, some basic building blocks and a sandbox mode with a few more blocks (some of them not fully functional). There is A LOT more to come in Trailmakers.
The Alpha Demo and the Alpha Test Versions are separate entities.
The Alpha Demo is a small teaser, and it will not receive any content updates.
The Alpha Test Versions are experimental versions meant for testing and bug finding, and they are distributed via random invitation.
Sign up for testing on our website for a chance to get the Alpha Test Version.
Next up - the Challenge System
The next feature update to the Alpha Test Versions will see the challenge system implemented. In the challenge system, you can compete in timed races and other mini-events. Much more about that in the next update! Oh, let us know if you have a better name for it than “Challenge System”! ːsteamfacepalmː
Until next time!
