Public Pre-Alpha Update
It has been a very exciting few months for the Nestables team! There has been a heap of activity behind the scenes, which many of you would have seen if you follow us on Twitter. The Public Pre-Alpha is not that far away now. Here is a quick update on everything!
The Closed Pre-Alpha
For the past two weeks we have been running a closed pre-alpha for the Nestables Advisory Board. It has been fantastic to finally see people playing the game and their feedback has been invaluable.
We are very appreciative to everyone on the Advisory Board who took time to test the game, troubleshoot issues and provide feedback. Being a smaller group, we were able to get much more in depth feedback on the game with plenty if ideas, feedback and bugs reported on the Trello. Over the course of the two weeks testing, we rolled out 3 updates to the game, which fixed bugs and implemented aspects of the Advisory Board’s feedback.
Based on the Advisory Board’s feedback, we are going to take 2 weeks to implement their feedback. This means that we will have a public pre-alpha starting on the 5th of October for those that have a Founder’s Token and Founder’s Cube.
This means that we will have a public pre-alpha starting on the 5th of October for those that have a Founder’s Token and Founder’s Cube.
In this time we will be working on:
- Variety of UI improvements
- Bug Fixes
- Implementation of an auto patching system & installer
- Finalisation of an introduction tutorial
Overall, the Advisory Board gave the pre-alpha game an average score of 8.1 out of 10.
The Public Pre-Alpha
Essentially, the public pre-alpha is not that far away! We have learned a lot from the closed pre-alpha and have already made a substantial number of improvements to the game so that our public pre-alpha is more polished and makes better use of everyone’s time!
What is the focus of the public pre-alpha?
- Showcase the progress so far for the game
- Assistance with finding bugs
- Feedback on the balancing for the early-stage gameplay
What gameplay aspects haven’t been focused on for the Pre-Alpha?
The following areas still need quite a bit of work on them or have not been started yet:
- Breeding
- Advanced level cooking recipes
- Visiting other user’s Nests
Closer to the start of the public pre-alpha, we will be publishing a much more in depth post, with a Q&A for the game and information on how to give us your feedback.
