Same build as the Closed Beta.

• WIP Character creator

• Online Coop

• Split Screen coop

• La Rescapée Region and Simeon's Bastion Town

• Bellowgale Call to Adventure Quest :

• The Call to Adventure Quest is not the beginning of a storyline. It’s your starting quest in one region.

• While home of the Menders and the starting location of the story quest linked to them in the full version of the game you will be able to do any call to adventure with any storyline.

• 10+ dungeons

• 15+ enemies

• Early game gear

• Survival elements (thirst, hunger, sleep, temperature)

FIND PLAYERS TO PLAY WITH YOU:

If you don’t have friends to play with, our Discord is the best place to find Great Energy Players via our brand new G.E.P program. Find the GEP program here.

We’re counting on players to be fun, smart, and respectful adults.

However, playing online means someone could steal your backpack, make you spawn into an ambush, or bring you into an area that’s too hard for you.

We recommend discussing your session with your future co-op partner.

Nine Dots will not be responsible for any bad behavior between players.

WHAT ABOUT SPLIT-SCREEN? Split screen should be playable although we're expecting it to have some stability issues.

HOW DO I REPORT A BUG?

The best way to report a bug is through our Discord Channel.

Steam is fine too. Please follow this template.

Title: Explain your issue in a single sentence.

Ex: The Iron Sword inflicts no damage

Description : Add some information just so we have an idea how it happened

EX: I was fighting a bird-like creature and noticed I was not doing any damage.

Repro steps: Add the last few things you did that you remember and think are relevant)

• I found the sword in a store.

• Engaged in combat with the bird in Bellowgale near Haboob.

• I noticed I wasn’t doing any damage to the bird.

If you have Screenshots or a video to share it is super valuable to us.

By the way, Birb’s name is Pearl, Pearlbird.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Performance issues. You may experience FPS drops and/or crashes. If you start crashing too often (Ex: on load), try deleting your save and starting a new one.

• Stuck Spot/Collision issues

• When playing Online the Client may not see the same thing as the host and vice versa.

• Assets and visuals in the Character Creator are still Work in Progress.

• Returning to Main Menu and reloading a save/creating a new one may break a few things. It may be wiser to reboot if you want to change character.

• Balancing. Some weapons or enemies may feel OP and/or too weak.

• Enemies may not have the intended behavior and act in a "weird way"

• Most menus have placeholder visuals.

• Sound Effects may be missing or not properly adjusted yet.

• Some Areas have been blocked off so it is possible to find a house/cave/door that feels like it can be entered but is not.

• The cost of items is work in progress. Some Items may be worth too much or too less.

• Skills and attacks may not always work as intended or at all.

LANGUAGES

The Beta will be in English only.

PROGRESSION

As this is the Beta version of the game, progression will not be saved through the full game.
