Idle Life 1.0 Beta #1 Starts In Less Than 32 Hours! 🚀

We are incredibly happy to finally announce the first public Beta Build of Idle Life 1.0!

This update contains months of redesigns, rewrites and improvements based directly on community feedback. Many systems have been rebuilt from the ground up to better support the future of Idle Life and all planned 1.0 content.

The first beta starts in less than 32 hours! 🎉

What's Included In Beta #1

This first beta already includes a large amount of core gameplay systems:

  • Inventory System

  • Profile System

  • Equipment System

  • Gathering Mechanics

  • Crafting Mechanics

  • Smelting & Cooking Mechanics

  • Research System

  • Worker System

  • Queue System

  • Working Slot System

  • Admin Console

  • Enchanting Backend Functions

  • (Possibly) an early version of the Global Market

Enchantments are already fully functional internally. However, there is currently no normal gameplay method available to enchant items yourself. During this beta, enchanted equipment can only be obtained through the Admin Console for testing purposes.

This Is Only The Beginning

It is important to understand that this is only the first of many upcoming Idle Life 1.0 beta versions.

Every future beta will introduce additional content, mechanics, balancing changes and quality-of-life improvements.

The main purpose of Beta #1 is gathering feedback on our completely redesigned systems.

What We Need Feedback On

  • The new Worker System

  • Queue Management

  • Working Slots

  • Research Progression

  • Overall User Interface

  • General Gameplay Flow

We want to know what feels good, what feels confusing, and what can be improved before moving further towards the final 1.0 release.

Admin Console Information

The Admin Console is enabled during beta testing to make testing easier and allow players to experiment with systems that are still under development.

To open the Admin Console press:

The key directly left of your 1 key or the key directly above your TAB key

Useful commands:

  • help — Displays a list of all available commands

Additional commands and functionality can be explored directly through the console.

Thank You ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who provided feedback, suggestions and ideas throughout development. This beta would not look the way it does without the community helping shape Idle Life into what it is becoming.

We can't wait to see what you think about the first step towards Idle Life 1.0. 🚀
