During the closed alpha you will have to back the game on Qi. You can only buy the game on steam when early access comes.

Dumb question, but as long as I bought on indiegogo, I don't have to do anything else right?

You will still need to register on the Qi site, as that's where keys are being distributed from

Hi, and I'm gonna burst with excitement!, Can I just ask; All those in Discord with a blue title (name) are backers eligible for a key on the closed playtest ? I am blue, I checked my order on the order page and I see I bought into Single-Action Pack, It doesn't mention anything about a key, however it says: You’ll receive access to the closed alpha and Steam Early Access + other benefits. So this is going to allow me to playtest ?

Thanks for reading!

Yup! You get that access via stream keys

Not at all! The link to the Qi site in this post will take you to where you can order packs for the game.

Does everyone who is a backer get a code?

Yes! If you're a backer, you will get a code after the countdown.

If the game comes to console, then you'll still have to buy it. Keys for backing now are only for pc

Or he has to receive one on his email adress ? Should he see the order ? (I don’t really remember if I had to give is email adress on indigogo, but I’m pretty sure I did).

You'll get both keys and can give your friend theirs

This is a stupid as hell question but I gotta ask because I am entirely unfamiliar with the ordering process from indigogo/kickstarter/qi website whatever.

Is there any risk of keys running out once the game is open to ANY backers two weeks after being available to the Partners? Like is there a finite amount ? If not I have nothing to worry about other than servers being maxed out by a deluge of people wanting in but that can happen regardless. Just want to make sure there's no cap or something or if the devs were planning to cap things to avoid servers getting mega-slammed.

Secondary question that is offtopic from OP: Are the partners under NDA while playing closed-alpha? or can we expect to see some video clips uploaded by Partners?

No such risk like that, as steam supplies the keys when we tell them how many are needed based on the orders. Servers shouldn't be too big a problem either, as anyone can host one themselves.

Even partners will be under an NDA, but they will have opportunities to post content.

After release the plan is to do different parts of Canada or the northern US as dlc, afaik. We are definitely not short on feature ideas in terms of updates though, no worries. Obviously we hope you guys love/will love the game when you get to play it :p

Hey! Very excited for closed alpha! Quick question, are we going from a closed alpha into a beta state? Or is there going to be a long down time where we can’t play again. Basically I’m asking, will we be able to play and test through closed alpha all the way to release?

That's the plan. If nothing else, it shouldn't be a long period of downtime between the closed alpha end and early access beginning.

Work on the closed alpha for days on

Because this is the grid given by Erlite in sneak peak (the size of the Closed Alpha map)

Afterwards we imported the map behind the grid and started attempting to find something relative we could measure to scale the map into the grid (purely out of curiosity). For this to work we had to find a way to convert pixel units into meters then meters into kilometres.

At first we tried using the overpass, but since overpasses can vary in length this was thrown out.

You can't rely on a constant when it is a variable.

Someone suggested using the baseball field. The general conciseness was that it is a "little league" size field.

From Home Base to First base is 60', there are 18.28 m in 60'.

We divided 1000 m by 18.28 m which is 54.7 (this means that 54.7 Home base to ...

I can tell you right now that the baseball field is probably not to scale. Your best bet is going to be going off of the width of the roads.

I want to support the development very much but I can do it by giving a smaller amount as well. Not all of us have the ability to give away $35. Thanks for downvoting me for stating this guys. Also, if they decrease the price then me and some other people like me will be able to donate too. It’s better for two people to give 50-60 dollars than them not getting any dollar at all. Jesus Christ downvote me for saying this...

Honestly man I can understand where you're coming from but unfortunately we can't really do anything in terms of price-drops or a sale as it'd be pretty sh*tty to the people that have already backed the game.

Lol, don't worry about it
