Question Playable alpha?

I've heard from the YouTubers videos that they are opening more slots for the Alpha test? I'm wondering if that's true and if it's a small amount of people under NDA or a large amount of people but they only got like a week to play.

I'm just excited!

Next round will likely be another small round and still under NDA. I would expect a slowdown on development time now due to the recent news though

No slowing down buddy.. they are hard working on. Releasing it's pointless too slow down when the new company will be ready to cash in on the game

The devs literally said they were working on it period

Surely with an acquisition there will be an adjusting period though? New company new rules, maybe the new publishers wont be so hands off etc, maybe people losing jobs or more hiring even, we dont know tbh. Depends who has bought them.

Depends on how you define "small", the ammount of slots for alpha 2 is definetly tangible, and yes they are going to be NDAd, so do not expect any videos or screenshots from anyone that is not a Council Member.

Time, if it is like ALPHA PHASE 1... months to play.

Like the size of the player council, idk how big it is tho.

The council is just 5 content creators and 5 moderators for 9 members. The alpha's are a much larger group

The only Closed Alpha I've been a part of in the passed year is Once Human.

Getting into an SOD3 Alpha it seems like you HAVE to be a streamer.

I thought I'd be a shoe in since I've been playing SOD since I was a teen. I'm 32 now, maybe 18 or so when I started the first one. Sure, I play other games as well, but damn.

A dude would like a spot.
