We have great news! Saturday Jan 6th EST will begin our closed Alpha test. The closed Alpha will consist of a single map. This Alpha test is being done to test connectivity issues, usability improvements, map layout, gameplay balancing, and anything else you guys bring to light. Nothing in this build is final. ALL of it is up for discussion. If you hate the grass; tell us. If you hate the sprint speed; tell us. If you think the game is shit; tell us how it can be better.
This closed Alpha requires that interested fans submit an application in the #alpha-application channel of our discord server, found here: https://discord.gg/AmZhaQP . Please follow the instructions listed there as it is very important for us to know your system specs, internet connection speeds, and location. We will be selecting a limited number of applicants who will be given access via Steam. The applications close on Jan 6th 00:00 EST This is only for serious fans whom we expect many hours of playtime and a lot of feedback given in the #alpha-feedback channel during the closed alpha. The alpha will run from Jan 6th EST until Jan 14th EST. The following week will be a time for our team to implement feedback/bug fixes that came up during the closed alpha.
The open beta is planned (not a promise, just a very educated guess) to run from Jan 22nd EST to Early/Mid Feb. We will take the following few weeks to implement feedback from that beta test and are planning a March release. Anything after the alpha test is NOT set in stone, but in the name of transparency we want our community to know our internal timelines. We sincerly hope you apply and we look forward to digging an axe deep into the back of your skull during the alpha.
