We are overwhelmed with the response in our discord and so was our bot. Our first day of alpha key giveaways was botted hard and the demand for keys was absolutely incredible. So much so that it destroyed our key bot and we had to implement martial law and create some strict rules for the discord. We ended up manually handing out keys in DM messages and so far over 2,000 keys have been given away in our discord!
Please join it here: https://discord.gg/AmZhaQP if you haven't already. We post more frequent updates there and are working to get some parity between the discord and the store page/steam forums.
There have been 4 patches since day one fixing some critical bugs and we are on v1.0.4 and there is another larger patch (v1.0.5) coming in approximately 12 hours from this post. We are also having some issues where people are not getting the notification that there is an update in steam so I suggest everyone restart steam and the update should happen automatically. We are working on getting a system implemented that will notify you in game that you need to update so we can make sure you're able to see all of the servers, most of which are on the latest patch).
What we really wanted to test with this alpha was the core bare bones gameplay and more importantly our backend system. This is how we track player logins, play time, gameplay stats, and persistent user information that is needed for the progression and inventory system we have planned for the final game. We will have some stats to post for you guys at the end of the alpha!
Thank you to everyone who has reported bugs and given us suggestions. We read every single one and will fix as fast as we can. Your willingness to play the alpha in a rough state is very appreciated. We will continue to be open, transparent, and go about building this game the right way; with the community.
