EDIT: Alpha is LIVE! We’re still sending out keys, so np if you didn’t get one yet – join us on Discord @ https://discord.gg/gvNbRSB
INFO REGARDING ALPHA! FAQ’s Answered below:
“YES, ZOMG! FINALLY!”
-
Alpha will most likely come March 31st (yep – in just a couple days) – likely released at night EST. Because we’re incredibly on-time, there’s no room for error: so we will just say “Friday Night” for now
we’ll let you know if this changes. -
Make sure you add noreply@imperium42.com / noreply@throneoflies.com to your email contacts to ensure your keys don’t get thrown to spam: Your key(s) will be sent via email.
-
We’ll be sending out keys in 2 cohorts: Backers first (to ensure our key distribution system works – even that is in alpha, haha), then Veterans. Not too long, after (few hours, perhaps).
-
Your initial keys are for Alpha/Beta, so although our Steam Store page shows Summer 2017, alpha/beta users will see it accessible immediately. So once you get your keys, you can play (that’s why we’re waiting for last second).
-
YES, you can stream! All we ask is that if you run into “not-so-funny” bugs, let people know it’s a super early technical Alpha.
-

-
There is a START MATCH NOW button in case you want to start with less than 16 players, however, population should not be much of a problem except within the first few hours of launch (people need to install the game, etc). It’s recommended you join our Discord server to arrange for matches if there’s a population issue. However, we are sending out ~3,000 keys. This is was a big reason we did the “Veteran Status” promo was for +population
-
If a Veteran does not receive an email, it’s likely they were disqualified by the Veteran Status eligibility (TL;DR: You unsubscribed from us or caught cheating the system).
-
We have already made efforts to translate the Steam store page and Wikia into multiple languages, however Alpha (in-game) will start with English only. We will add more soon enough! If you play during Alpha, please only speak English until we add non-English matchmaking options.
-
No drawing penises in the deathnotes ;D it’s in the ToS you’ll be agreeing to before entering the game. Will penises and dickbutts happen anyway? Unfortunately, yes – sheath your eyes. We’ll later add a “NSFW/Blur” button to blur the deathnote for YOU, and if x clicks, blur for everyone. We don’t have time to deal with NSFW reports right now, however just please use your own judgement and keep our community awesome. If we get excessive reports from 1 person, we will enforce the ToS.
-
We will likely setup some “judges” later to assist in reports, but not during Alpha. In fact, most reports will barely be monitored during Alpha – let’s hope for the best and we’ll start monitoring more during beta.
-
You can party with friends during Alpha! This is one thing that we tried extra-hard to allow for as early as alpha. First, add a friend to your friends list in the lobby by either your nickname, username, or email (really easy to find people). You get unlimited friends. Later, you can add a note about them to help you remember who you added. When you invite someone, it’ll pop up as an invite on STEAM. Later, we’ll find a way to add a dramatic popup button. When you add a friend, the other person does not get notified (for now) – you just “add them” and that’s that.
-
When you accept a Steam invite to a game, the host will jump right into a room and start queueing, but will reserve a slot for your friend – so make sure to only join when ready. We’ll add a staging room later.
-
If you registered with FB, you must first use your username + password to login >> then you can 1-click with Steam login. Sorry about that – FB is not working in this current version of Unity (Unity bug, not ours).
-
When you first login in any form, your Steam account will be auto-linked. This means that after your first login (in any form – even email+pass), you can login with Steam.
-
Report bugs in #feedback-suggestions category with [BUG] title.
-
Initial Alpha testing is for technical testing – you
maywill experience bugs during this phase. The purpose of Alpha testing is to stress test our servers, kill gamebreaking bugs, and finish implementing core features. Beta+ will be more-polished and feature-filled. -
You will receive your backer stuff and customization features patched in “soon” – but not initially. Everyone will be given something random, for now (for armor+weapon).
-
These keys you can give away, but are not permitted for resale. This means you, G2A.
-
For backers – your “backer bundle” will arrive in a separate email and will be a promo code for use in-game or our website. To ensure Alpha was released on time, we decided to deliver this separately – we asked in priority feedback section of the private backers Discord server if that’s what they prefer, and the backers have spoken! It won’t be long – you can’t do anything with gp or customization during initial launch, anyway – that’ll be patched in.
Enjoy ;D
(This topic will likely be updated)
even if i screwed up i will probs buy it anyway
we’re still in pre-alpha testing because of some game breaking bugs that were found.
