The time has come — Alpha Battles start August 1st and a final development update. Community update, 27 July 2018
Hi everyone! We know that you’re all looking forward to Alpha as much as we are — Augmentors will be taking over your mobile devices from August 1 to August 7! Are you ready?
Down the ‘Token Holder Alpha’ memory lane
It’s hard to forget how amped we all were during Token Holder Alpha that took place in March, but if you need a reminder, you can have a look here to check out what went down!
This Alpha is going to be even more epic. As you know, we’ve been working on some amazing updates that you can see in our roadmap and in our latest community updates on the Non-AR, Tutorial Overlays & 5 new creatures and the Store and levels of Rarity, which will make your Alpha battles monumental! We cannot wait to share what we’ve been working on!
All the Alpha Details
Alpha will be live from Wednesday, August 1 (1pm UTC) to Tuesday, August 7 (1pm UTC) — which means you have a full week of epic battles! Now for the nitty-gritty details:
- If you’re an iPhone user — We’ll email you a link from TestFlight — you’ll need to open this on the iPhone device you want to play with, the game will then automatically download to your device.
- If you’re an Android user — we’ll email you a link to download the APK file so you can download Augmentors on your phone. These links will also be shared on Discord and Telegram, so make sure you keep an eye on all those channels!
- Dedicated Alpha category and channels on Discord — we have a dedicated Alpha category in our Discord server, that has 3 dedicated channels, meaning that you can chat with other Alpha players and share war stories in the #alpha-chat channel. It’s also a great way to check if anyone is online and looking for a battle. The #bug-report channel is where you can report any bugs you might come across, and developers will be able to assist you or answer your questions. Last but not least, (and maybe most importantly ;) )we’ve added an #epic-battle-screenshot-or-video channel where you will post all your epic footage!
- User Guide — During Token Holder Alpha we provided a User Guide, this time, we’re doing things a bit differently. We’ve worked hard to further develop the game and have a basic tutorial in this release. We’d love your feedback to know what is intuitive for gamers, what works and what doesn’t. Please be constructive and honest in your feedback, and let us know how friendly our UI is to first-time players.
- Don’t forget, we’re running epic competitions during Alpha, with some amazing prizes up for grabs. You can read all the details here.
What to expect in Alpha
- 5 starter creatures will be available to play to all players.
- Because all balances, progress and creatures will be cleared at the end of this Alpha, we don’t want you to spend actual money in-game, so for the Alpha Emeralds will not be linked to DTBs, but can be looked at like a sort of a ‘virtual currency’ so that you can experience every aspect of the game.
- At your first login, we will provide you with some Gold, and some ‘Emeralds’ to start you off. Then, every second day, we’ll incrementally top up your ‘Emeralds’ — how cool is that!?
- The new 5 creatures just released will be available to play, if you use your ‘Emeralds’ wisely you could purchase portals that contain creatures to be able to play one or more of them.
- The Augmentors Team will be online and available during these times for the duration of Alpha, specifically over the weekend:
4am-6am UTC
2pm-4pm UTC - Of course, during the week, someone from the team will be online and available on Discord and Telegram most of the time from 7am UTC to 3pm UTC, so if you’re looking for a battle you can hop on either of those channels and we’ll gladly battle you! During this time, please also feel free to ask the team questions and give any feedback.
Final Development Update before Alpha
Some of you hawk-eyed community members may have already noticed, but we’ve totally revamped our UI! This means that all the screens are more intuitive, much neater and provide a much better user experience. Check out some sneak-peeks below:
Player Message of The Day
Everyday, players will receive a Message of The Day on their first entry, this means that we can share news, specials and other important information, through the game. This Message will only show once a day, on first login — no spamming here!
Augmented Reality Compatible devices
Even though we have built a non-AR mode, we thought it best to remind you of all AR compatible devices. It’s also important to note that the game has been designed for high performance devices, whether it’s AR supported or not.
We cannot wait for your feedback and reaction to Augmentors, and we hope that you enjoy Alpha as much as the team has enjoyed developing it. A heads up that we’ll be sending out a feedback form at the end of Alpha, but we’ll also have a #Feedback channel in Discord that you can add your comments and feedback on in real-time. Please try and complete the feedback survey in as much detail as possible — we really do appreciate and listen to your valuable reviews!
Alpha is less than 5 days away, if you haven’t already, make sure you sign up for Alpha today!
