Alpha Release Day Features

As a long time tester of many games, I am very curious which features will 'ship' with the alpha launch. Being able to create testing plan before the alpha release or having a list of features Uber would like tested would be a nice.

i wouldnt expect much, alpha development will be iterative.

The Ability to Run the Client, connect to the server play a game to complete the victory condition.

No Guarantees it won't crash in all kinds of fun ways at any point thought.

I'm guessing;

• Connect to servers.
  Make structures and tanks.
  Make move/attack orders.
  Report bugs.

If I get that in the first alpha, I'll be satisfied. Everything on top of that is gravy.


That said, I do like the idea of someone structuring tests. However, if we start with a small list of features, then we can test them all without any structure. Then test each new feature as it's added.

So, if the alpha is large; yeah, a list to prepare against would be nice. If it's not; then we're not losing out any how.

As Uber said in the Streams: "What is done in the moment of the release". I guess that in the first release we will have at least a few bombers and fighters.

I think I've played enough KSP to get the jist of what to do in the situation of 'Oh, hey, a bunch of new things!'

..And no, most of that does not include lithobraking (or lithobreaking, as the case may be with this game. )

An unresponsive screen displaying a logo, reaching out,but just not enough.

The only official word i am aware of is this one (Planetary Annihilation steam page) :

But Hell, who cares ?
Just messing around with the Planetary Generator would be enough for me :-D

Ill be messing around with the modding system... Hopefully.

If we don't play the alpha enough will they revoke our passes :?:

u srs?

they would be in breach of terms of sale.

Absolutely not. A large number of people from the kickstarter may NEVER play it. There were other things that came with those levels of backing that may have driven their involvement. So people find no joy in playing with a game still in development. But we would not take away someone's ability to play that they paid for just because they haven't been playing.

That would be pretty rude of them if they did, I don't see what they would gain from doing so either.

Not that it bother me as i will be playing the titties off of it.

I'll be banning those who play too much and use up all of our interwebs!

Just kidding, I'll only ban people who beat me in matches.

Do I hear a challenge? >:3

It's not much of a challenge ... I fear I may be banning a lot of people. :/

Well.. lucky for me then I do not play with others. I hate it when I win again :mrgreen:

Thankfully I've never played against you in MNC/SMNC. :lol:

Just noticed this, so it's not playable unless you fight against other human players then?

Only for the start of the alpha. Remember, the AI hasn't been implemented yet, so until that is added in, a single player skirmish wouldn't be feasible.
