Final Chance to Join the Alpha

The private Cyber Knights: Flashpoint alpha is rapidly approaching, where we will welcome over 1,000 players into an early version of the game. These first players will plan heists, recruit and train merc squads, test their mettle against enemy security & AI, put the game and all of its systems through their paces. Their feedback will help us update the game like crazy and make it better every week.

Almost as soon as the Kickstarter ended, we started hearing from many players — "I don't know how I missed it, is there any way I can still join the alpha?"

So we're excited to offer one final chance to become a backer and join the Cyber Knights: Flashpoint alpha. We're opening up late pledges through Backerkit. It's a $60 pledge, and comes with all the same rewards and privileges as the pledge level did when the Kickstarter was live.

While this pledge level does include a full copy of the game on release, we'd encourage you not to use it as a pre-order. As much as we appreciate the support, we're really offering the alpha as a way to be involved in shaping the game.

But if you're already a member of the private alpha and know an equally passionate gamer who'd love the chance to help shape an upcoming squad tactics / cyberpunk heist RPG, feel free to share this final chance to join. ;)

What's the alpha experience like? Is this worth it?
This will be the sixth game we've offered a private alpha for. Backers get sent an early build of the game on all platforms they'd like to try it on (PC/Mac/Linux/Android/iOS), with more features & content unlocked through several phases of the alpha as we ask for your feedback on different components, iterate, and balance. You can play throughout and be one of our core collaborators, or give some feedback early and come back months later to see everything that's new.

It's a really fun community experience, and shapes the game for years to come. Many game mechanics for Star Traders: Frontiers got revamped, cut, and added based on players' feedback during its alpha. If you're the type of player that loves discussing the meta of a game, or wants to be one of the experts in the community by the time we hit Early Access and the player base is growing exponentially, this is for you.

Can I pledge more for some of the higher rewards (e.g. getting my face in the game), or less, just to support?
Sorry, we're only opening up late pledges for the alpha level and a couple of small add-ons. Most rewards (especially those that offer benefits far above & beyond what other players get), need to remain a limited-time opportunity during a game's Kickstarter.

Make sure you're on our mailing list (extremely low-volume, 2-3 emails per year) and following our socials to ensure you don't miss out on future projects. We really appreciate your desire to support though! Our Patreon is also available and comes with many special benefits of its own.

Will these late pledges count toward stretch goals from the Kickstarter?
No; while we will be drawing in some small extra funding from this event, we don't expect there to be so many new alpha players that we need to be thinking about stretch goals. It'd be a huge win if we reached the milestone for the extra stretch goal we already threw in. 😄
