We're starting this week off with some big news: Alpha 1 is complete, and we're inviting you to come test with us! Continue reading for more details and how to get involved!
This Is Not a Game
This Alpha release is not a game. It's not even a demo. It's an early stepping-stone that will be a part of a series of alpha releases leading up to our eventual demo, which will include NPCs, missions, expanded crafting, base building, and more. So, yes, we're talking bout an alpha for a demo!

What To Expect
We want to make sure we aren't over-promising anything when it comes to Gears. We've been pretty clear about detailing what to expect in our first alpha, and you can find a summary with some helpful information on our Early Access Information Page.
We also have this overview/tutorial video from our Twitch channel. Please take the time to review these in detail if you are interested in testing Alpha 1.
How To Access Alpha 1
If you want to test Alpha 1, there are a few easy steps you need to follow:
- Review the video and info page mentioned above
- Optional: Back GoE! Backers get automatically assigned to a first priority group, and are assured an alpha testing spot.
- Make sure you are signed up on our mailing list and make sure your email is confirmed.
- Reach out to us and let us know you want to be in a priority group. We have over 700 subscribers, and will be seeding those randomly into small test groups. However, we'd love to prioritize those of you who are interested and following us actively. So, email us, or reach out to us on Twitter or Facebook and we'll make sure you get in an early group. If you are a YouTuber or streamer, please reach out and let us know!
- Download and launch the Alpha 1 client once you've received your Alpha key
After testing the Alpha, you'll have the opportunity to give us feedback via a survey, and can report bugs through our issue tracker. Players who fill out the survey will be prioritized for future alpha testing releases.
Thank You!
