If I’m reading this correctly the beta will shut down after February? I was under the impression that $60+ backers gained permanent beta/early access status beginning next month.
No, the beta will continue through the end of February, where we then take down the build so that we can apply updates, but we will have more beta testing in the future. If you backed and received beta access, you're invited to continue testing, including testing out our third faction.
So NDA is going to be removed during the Steam Next Fest session?
Yes. Steam Next Fest is open to the public, so no NDA. Stream, discuss, make videos, critique, sing our praises, wish a plague upon our homes, and do whatever you like.
(Just keep it respectful in-game, or you will be banned.)
Thanks so much for supporting our team. We're glad to have you with us for the ride.
Read moreProton doesn't necessarily have 0 support from devs. The game "Have a nice Death" had in a bug in a certain version of proton and they made a community post about it with a workaround before eventually pushing a fix. So we can hope for active support from devs with proton just like with native.
And native client doesn't always get continued support/fixed from breakage. I believe a famous example is borderlands never got all the dlc as native. Here is a conversation about crosscode being broken for some on the Linux native client but not on proton (I had this too). Not to mention that countless examples of proton having better performance than native clients.
It seems like frostgiant is aware of steamdeck/linux since they sometimes have a steamdeck in their interviews/...
I'm a huge fan of the Steam Deck. I only got 50% mad when I learned about the updated version with the improved screen.
Probably 3 weeks. From their Kickstarter page:
If you pledge to a reward tier that includes 2024 Beta: Wave 1 access, you will be automagically invited to all future beta tests as well. Please note that our beta periods are not continuous. Historically, they have each been three weeks long, but that is subject to change based on development needs."
Thanks for doing my job! :D
Pumped af, do we need the preorder to play feb 5th or will this be the public beta?
Feb 5-12 is open to the public. Kickstarter backers who pledged at a tier that receives Wave 1 beta access will get in a few days early. They will also get to keep playing for the remainder of the February beta test after Steam Next Fest ends, as well as all future tests.
(Beta testers will be able to playtest the third faction later this year.)
Where to sign up for the tournament? I assume it will be a huge bracket like back in the wol days….
Details will be coming soon from EGC, the tournament organizer.
Will there be a list of balance changes and unit updates since the last time the game was presented?
I'll be sharing some of the key beta build changes before Steam Next Fest begins. Maybe two weeks or so earlier, more or less?
I'm waiting for my salary to support on Kickstarter, can't wait
Thanks for your support! It means a lot to our team.
Just FYI, for anyone willing to test this: we have seen people post here who were flat out banned due to language.
Chat at your own risk. I would expect some tight monitoring.
I'm going to echo this. We have permanently banned playtesters for toxicity. Please be cool and treat each other with respect.
I like how everyone gets to play
I like it too

This is rad. Are you Balinese? (I only ask because of your username.)
Jesus f**k dude you Frost Giant people are insufferable. r/StarCraft is not your personal marketing tool. How about you make a playable game before shilling your product?
Are you doing OK? This thread literally mentioned our game by name. And as you can see, they are actively playing (and enjoying) our beta.
Have a wonderful 2024!
