I didn't really explain what will be included in the alpha launch, so here it is:
-Civilian engine; we're going to launch with some of the first linked civilian maps, to allow us to perfect the travel system, and the ingame currency. We will launch with our first clothing store as well.
Here's a quick look at that clothing store; named Nebula. This is about half way into development, and is missing most of the detailing, but it's being completed very fast so this is going to be the only in development picture.

We've also been putting a little bit of work into some combat maps, so we will be ready to start implementing the combat module during alpha testing.
Alpha launch will only contain one faction; The Systems Alliance. This faction will remain joinable, but the ingame recruitment system will not be included in the alpha launch like originally planned.
Alpha doesn't even come close to what the full Andromeda online experience will be. The cost of entry will remain at 35 r$ until beta launch.
Expect the alpha launch to be in mid to late October. |
