[b]BETA CONTENT & KNOWN ISSUES[/b] While Early Access is slated for release in 2024, our Beta will provide you with a nice slice of the game to experience. This said, there will be certain elements of the game that are still a ‘work-in-progress’, not fully functional, or restricted during your playthroughs. [b]Localization:[/b] Currently auto-generated and temporary, so there may be some translations that do not properly align with the intended meaning or context of words and sentences: [list] [*]French [*]Spanish [*]German [*]Simplified Chinese [*]Russian [/list] [b]UI:[/b] Some elements are currently placeholders or WIP. [b]Narrative:[/b] This Beta only features Act I of Thrive. Once this act concludes, a video will play, highlighting the paths that could await your reign in the full release. You can continue to play after this video, but the story and tiers will not progress. This also applies to available classes, buildings, and resources. [b]Tier Progression (Tome of Knowledge):[/b] Your tier progression, along with available classes, buildings, and even some resources will be limited to Act I during the Beta. [b]Happiness:[/b] The Happiness system has been tweaked to better assist with progression through Beta gameplay. [b]Map Terrain:[/b] Appearance is limited, will be more in-depth and detailed for EA. [b]Combat:[/b] Basic features are only available at this time. [b]Multiplayer:[/b] Players may experience some desync issues. We would appreciate it greatly if you could reach out to us via the in-game feedback tool, and on our Discord, with any questions, concerns, bugs, or issues you are experiencing. Thank you for signing up to help us test out the game. Long may you reign, and long may you Thrive! ————— Until we next meet… [i]Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown[/i] is available to Wishlist on [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1245250/Thrive_Heavy_Lies_The_Crown/]Steam[/url] now!
