- To obtain initial feedback from players, whether it’s feedback, bugs, or technical information exchanges, [/*]
- To continue developing Rooted transparently, as we've been doing since the beginning, to build this amazing post-apocalyptic survival experience together. [/*]
Co-op Mode Available
Craft your own adventure or connect with friends to discover the Monastery area together. Joining existing games is also a great way to make new friends! Features are limited for now (VOIP, chat, friendly fire enabled by default to test your friendships...), and they will be quickly improved and supplemented by others.Duration of Alpha 1.0
This first alpha phase may last several weeks, or even months. We will correct bugs reported by players, optimize the game, add new features, and improve existing ones based on player feedback. Don't hesitate to log back in regularly to discover new content!Gameplay Time for This First Session
It's hard to quantify this, as our internal tests have produced very different results depending on the players. What I can tell you is that the alpha isn’t just about walking around. Open your eyes, explore, and analyze! Discovering the remnants of past civilization is not necessarily an easy task.Where to Follow the Alpha News, Access Patch Notes...?
To stay updated on the alpha, find us:Content Under NDA
Since day one, we’ve been transparent about our progress, sharing numerous things on social media and our Discord server. So why an NDA asking all testers not to share anything about the Alpha? Rooted is receiving strong enthusiasm from players, and we simply don't want the alpha to be presented as the final game. In terms of gameplay, environment, user interface, and many other points, there is still much to do. Sharing on social media would not serve much purpose at this stage. For content creators, we will share numerous screenshots and videos in our Media folder that will allow you to talk about Rooted and the Alpha launch, the Monastery, but we rely on your discretion not to talk about what we do not show :) Thanks from the entire team! Let's move forward together using the tools provided to build a great Rooted experience, and you'll have the entire future to share content about the game during early access. The NDA will be available at the game's launch. You will be required to review and accept the NDA, as well as link your Rootedthegame.com account to the game (by providing the email address used on the website), in order to gain access to the Alpha.Report Bugs
We have added an in-game bug reporting system so you can easily inform us about the issues you encounter while playing. We instantly receive the tickets, and we make every effort to publish fixes quickly. You can directly check the status of bug reports in the game. Even though we have created dedicated channels for the alpha on Discord, no bug reports will be considered there. For organizational reasons, please use exclusively the in-game reporting system for any issues.Want to Interact with All Other Alpha Participants?
