Dev Blog #5: Alpha Test Showcase - Building

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Greetings, explorers!  

We’re currently in the first stage of our closed Alpha test with a small group of players, and we’d like to share a quick update with you!   

The first wave of Alpha access was granted to community members who have been active and supported us over the years. As we progress through the different stages of the Alpha and additional spots become available, we’ll gradually invite more people to join. 

  • If you’d like to be informed about future playtests, please make sure to Follow Under a Rock and keep an eye on our Steam page for all recent news and announcements.  

  • Now that things are heating up, if you’d like to stay up to date with the absolute latest news, chat directly with the developers, and see what other Alpha-testers have been up to, then the Under a Rock Discord, home to over 8,000 Dodos, is the place to be.  

Right now, the testers are putting their focus into exploring the building system of the game, experimenting with different elements, and sharing valuable feedback with us. This helps us refine and improve the game experience before we gradually expand testing to more players in the upcoming stages.  

Today, we’d like to share some of the amazing creations and memorable moments our testers have captured so far, so let’s take a look!  

Special thanks to the following testers for sharing their creations with us: Amp ReVamped, Bahnanno, CuddleMonster86, GarouKuu, JS GAME, Nexus Cupcake, Pixelcave, Sdanwolf, SheriMJ's Casual Gaming.  

If you’d prefer a more detailed view of the building system and how it works, check out these amazing creators:
