ALPHA RELEASE DATES
Hello everyone,
The time has finally come for us to share our plans with you regarding the Pre-Alpha and Alpha releases! Everyone who has pledged for the Alpha tier or higher on Kickstarter, and all who pledge for the Alpha tier or higher on our website by June 30th, will receive access to the Pre-Alpha build when it releases sometime in summer 2015. You will also receive all of the builds that follow this initial release, of course! The regular Alpha build will be releasing in fall 2015 for all those who back the game at the COELACANTH level or higher.
What can you expect from the Pre-Alpha? Our Pre-Alpha release is the first time that numerous systems are coming together in one build. It is, by all accounts, a very early look at how the game plays and is absolutely not representative of the final product. This release will have very limited functionality, the majority of which comes in the form of some basic research items, Nugget mechanics, and construction elements. Our goal for this build is to get as much feedback as possible from all of you and improve the overall experience. This feedback will also help shape future systems and those currently in development that will not be in the initial release. We really want you to understand that you will not get the full experience out of this build, and there is very high chance of encountering some bugs here and there.
Now, what can you expect from the Alpha? Similar to the Pre-Alpha, the Alpha build will also have limited functionality, but will come with some new additions and tweaks. While you’re busy testing the Pre-Alpha build, we will continue working non-stop on The Universim, ensuring that the gameplay just gets better and better. Remember, from here on out the game will take on an iterative development cycle until its launch. New builds will come and go. We need you with us every step of the way.
The Alpha and Pre-Alpha will be limited to the Stone Age so we can nail the basic formula and bring that knowledge into improving later eras. We are still figuring out a proper, secure distribution system, so we will notify you at a later date how you can go about downloading the builds. After each release (or phase), we will send you optional surveys that will help us to understand your overall experience with the mechanics available in the current build. It took us a very long time to build a platform that simulates planetary conditions and living environments, and we shall continue to improve on it. There is still a lot of work ahead, but with your help and support, we’re gonna make one hell of a god-game.
The payment system is now powered by Humble Widget, as we want to give you a lot more variety when making purchases. From now on, the following payment methods can be used: Amazon Payments, PayPal, credit card, and even Bitcoin.
Don’t forget about our presence at E3! If you want to experience an even earlier build of the game, you can head on over to our booth (#2650) in the South Hall.
We’re so very proud to have this supportive and amazing community. You all made this happen. We have been working incredibly hard on the game and we’re finally nearing the point where we can offer you an interactive look at our creation. We hope to hear more from you in the future, as your kind words and positive feedback keep us motivated. We are really excited to let you guys play a small piece of The Universim and hear all of your thoughts on the experience. We have so much more coming for you guys!
Thank you,
Your Crytivo Games Team
