Preparing for the Fourth Pre-Alpha

19 April 2022

Dear community, we have good news. We are beginning preparations for the fourth stage of pre-alpha testing.

 

This time we are focusing on three areas:

 

1. The combat system. From version to version, we not only increase the number of mechanics in combat, but also test various approaches based on feedback from both the testers and the community. We have finished implementing most of the core melee-combat mechanics in their first iteration, and we are now working on finding the right balance of pace and difficulty for PvE.

 

2. Tutorial content. As progress on implementing the rest of the combat moves forward, we will start adding more and more content for teaching the basics of the game. Previously we invited exclusively experienced and hardcore players to the test; now we have set a course toward making it more comfortable for a broader range of those who want to play (however, this is still a very early version of the game, keep that in mind).

 

3. Additional mechanics. Along with the tutorial content will come the very first iterations of additional mechanics that expand the combat system.

 

If you want to get into the testing, write to alpha@lastfrontier.ru, indicating:

 

1) Your name or nickname.
2) Your age.
3) Amount of free time per day / Number of free days per week.
4) Optionally, you may state whether you have any experience participating in the testing of any games. However, this point is no longer the main criterion for selecting applications.
 

There’s not much left before the fourth pre-alpha launches, but first we need to finish some refinements.

 

Don’t forget to check your mailbox from time to time. Follow the game’s news on our Telegram channel.

 

And to wrap up the news, allow us to present a new loading screen for the upcoming pre-alpha. And thank you for being with us, survivors!
