Opening up to just the Alpha 1 backers for this first Alpha will give us plenty of opportunities to gain feedback while testers put the game through its paces. However, and just for now, we’re trying to balance giving as many people as possible an opportunity to provide feedback on the game’s development, while ensuring it’s a positive testing experience. We appreciate that many more of you will want to play it. The third Alpha test, now called “Late Alpha” (covering milestones 5 and 6) will be made available to Alpha 1 and Alpha 2 backers simultaneously.The second Alpha test, now called “Mid Alpha” (covering milestones 3 and 4) will be made available to backers with Alpha 1 access first, then to backers with Alpha 2 access some time later.This first Alpha test, now called “Early Alpha” (covering milestones 1 and 2) will be made available to backers with Alpha 1 access only.Access to all three Alpha tests will be broken down as follows: Tests two and three are scheduled for later in the year. Alpha Test AccessĪs discussed in our blog “ The Road Ahead”, development of KoE is being accompanied by three opportunities to Alpha test KoE, the first of which begins next week. So let’s get onto the important stuff: who can participate, when the launcher and client will be available, and how and where to give feedback. We’re no longer holding onto what we make, and instead will let you get your hands on it - warts and all - so that we can not only react to your feedback, but also use it as a community-driven foundation to build upon.
We know the first Alpha test won’t be perfect, but it marks an important milestone and a new approach we’re taking to development. After that, sign-ins will be disabled until the start of our second Alpha test. Today’s a pretty big deal for the team, as we’re pleased to confirm that we’ll be releasing the first Alpha test next Tuesday, July 6th, continuing through the completion of Milestone 0.2.0! Once Milestone 0.2.0 is completed, we will extend the testing duration by a further two weeks for those who have been unable to join.
