This is something we are very excited about and we hope you are too! Early March will begin our Discord Alpha. Your first question is probably; How do I join? All you have to do is join our discord here: https://discord.gg/AmZhaQP and wait for March. We'll be distributing keys via our trusty discord bot. Your second question is probably something along the lines of; What is different about this alpha than the previous one we had in early January?
Everything.
Feedback was collected, bugs were reported, and screams were had. We took user feedback and bug reports very seriously and pushed out a total of 6 updates in the single week of testing!
Although we roughly estimated this stage of testing to be beginning now (Mid Feb), per our last update, just too much feedback had to be implemented and frankly, bugs to be fixed. We haven't squashed all of them, but that is why we are asking you to join in on our discord alpha.
We do not have a definitive date other than early March and we are not certain how long it will run. It could be anywhere between 1 - 3 weeks. We really look forward to you joining the discord alpha, playing with us and our discord community, and most importantly helping us shape the game to be something that you love to play.
See you in discord! https://discord.gg/AmZhaQP
