Hello everyone!
The day is finally here, Alpha 4 is available for everyone to download!
For a full list of changes, see the changelog.
To see only the most major news, just check the last couple of news posts.
And if you just wanna see a couple of pictures of it first, scroll down.
If you are signed up for the playtest via email, you should already have gotten a download link. If you haven’t, check your spam folder.
If you are not signed up to the playtest yet, you can do so here.
Let us know if you have any issues downloading or running the playtest version!
A bigger town, I’m a little over halfway through the current research tree in this screenshot.
Of course, we’re always glad to see a video or post about HavenCraft, and we’d love to watch it.
Just mention that it’s an early development version and that people can try it out for free themselves, thanks!
The playtest is not time-limited, so you can keep playing for as long as you want. We will probably release a couple of bugfix updates for issues that are discovered during the playtest.
In around one week, we’ll send all the playtesters a survey so we can get a bunch of deeper feedback on this version.
In recent weeks, we have done a bunch of internal playtest sessions to find bugs and improve the balancing, both single- and multiplayer. As part of that, some villages and builds have been created, and I thought, why not share a couple of cool pics I got:
A roof design with an integrated skyling station (note that the packling station on the floor is still the old one in this screenshot).
The new packling stations at work.
The same town from earlier in the post, but from another angle, close to the tower.
The “hotel” - it houses a lot of villagers.
Night Vibes.
A balcony design I liked. Just need to find a better way to integrate the outdoor staircase.
That’s it for now; I’m looking forward to all of your feedback and first impressions!
Happy playing!
