What does Alpha mean?

Alpha means the build is in a rough state that is playable. We lock the build in a higher paid tier for obvious revenue reasons, but also to control the sample size of players who get their hands on the build. If you want to play the Alpha, it is with the understanding that it may be buggy, and you should report those bugs by either using the bug icon in the main menu or reporting the bug in our Discord server. This is so we can fix the bugs and errors players find before it goes out to more people at the other tiers.

How long will it be in Alpha?

Usually, the Alpha lasts between two and four weeks. It honestly depends on how many bugs/errors/issues players find in the Alpha build. We will often release multiple Alpha versions if there are big enough issues. Once we believe we've addressed all the major issues, I will post a similar update, announcing the release dates for the other tiers.

Wrap Up

That is all for now! We still have some testing to do, but we feel very confident in the build, and we can't wait for Alpha players to test it and completely break it! Thank you all so much for your support, and Stay Rad!
