Hello, everyone! As you may have seen, a while back, [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2179480/view/505063032913657896?l=english]we opened up applications[/url] to join us for a Closed Alpha. We had [i]a lot[/i] of applications and let in even more people than we planned because of it. One thing that has really been exciting for us is the amount of great screenshots and moments our testers have been sharing, so we thought we’d share some with you here!

You could almost forget the killer robots, and the less friendly other players...

We’ve explored this area in our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2179480/view/507319272300609650?l=english]latest Dev Diary[/url] Marick, who took this one and titled it “[i]Highway to Hell[/i].” [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44384659/33d851c3af7cdde9d3aed3b4f3eec5a76510a1d8.png[/img] Malrun took this while exploring. Honestly, we’re not sure what this is up there. “[i]UFO’s confirmed[/i]” was one comment. We can neither confirm nor deny this. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44384659/a96acee1845224f02c9ada0abf8fc99eb914227b.jpg[/img] Tatcher posted this, and I think it’s fair to say they were right to report the bug. One of the main things in our closed alpha is finding bugs, and yeah, we’d say falling through the ground is a bug. (- [i]We fixed this[/i]). [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44384659/d58cfdc3e360bd75c3142989108b3010b425ff9e.png[/img] Finally, another one from Nanjan. Fishing, with the BBQ grill set up over the fire ready to get a fish supper ready. [hr][/hr] The amount of bugs we’ve fixed, ideas people have come up with and fun we’ve had just during this first month of our closed alpha has been huge! We’re incredibly thankful to our team of closed testers! We will have [b]another Open Alpha[/b] in the not too distant future, and we are [b]looking to re-open the closed alpha applications soon[/b]. So, be sure to keep an eye out here, or head to [url=https://discord.gg/dgv7HJ2hnV]our Discord[/url] to join the conversation! Until next time, - Techtive Games.
