Test the New Tutorial Mode on the Testing Branch

We’ve just updated the testing "alpha" branch with a new feature we’d love your help to evaluate: a proper tutorial mode.

This has been one of the most common requests in reviews, surveys, and general feedback. Many new players felt overwhelmed by the game’s systems, so this is an important step toward improving onboarding as we move closer to the 1.0 release.

Even if you are already an experienced player and not the primary target for this feature, your feedback is still incredibly valuable. If you have time to try it out, we’d love to hear your thoughts and any issues you encounter. There may still be some bugs to squish out, so tell us if you encounter something weird during the tutorial.

This tutorial will be part of Major Update 5, which is planned for May. Alongside it, we’re also working on improvements to the quest system and adding new assets to the game.

What else is new:

• The buildable objects have a new sorting logic in the build menu bar.

How to Switch to the Testing Branch

• Right-click Ground of Aces in the Steam library list.

• Select “Properties…” in the dropdown menu.

• Go to “Game Versions & Betas”

• Switch to “alpha - Alpha test”

• You can switch back to the public default version at any time. --> Do this when the update is out officially.

Please share any feedback in the comments here on Steam or join our Discord to talk to us. We have an extra channel there about the testing version.
