[h2]Bug Fixed[/h2]

• Fixed a bug that the status of rare spiritual plants was not accurately refreshed when entering the Immortal Realm.
  
• Fixed some of the paper cranes content text.
  

Morning everyone, fellow cultivators! We’re glad to be here once again to share the latest news on the development of Immortal Life. As discussed in the eighth volume of the Sunset Inn Messageboard, all changes happening during the rest of the year will be only available in the Alpha branch of the game. It means that everyone will be able to test an early version of new features, missions, and locations at the same time YiFang Studios uses everybody’s feedback to solve issues.

In addition to this reminder, we must warn you that English and Japanese support will be added at a later date. This decision has to do with the convenience of waiting for the patch to be ready before starting such delicate work as the translation of the game. Please bear all this in mind before going deep into this new update.

That said, it’s time to explore the new content available in the Alpha branch later this week, as well as some new optimization changes made to improve the game experience and your immersion in the world of Immortal Life.



❊Translation in development. The English and Japanese versions of certain missions and elements of the game will be added before the content is available in the main version of the game.

[h2]HOW TO JOIN THE ALPHA BRANCH OF IMMORTAL LIFE [/h2]

[h3]Step 1: For your safety, start backing up your save files! [/h3]

This is the most important step as the files of the Alpha branch that will be saved in your Cloud storage will replace those you saved locally, damaging them permanently in the process. To prevent this, disable the Cloud Saving feature and visit the following path to copy the folder with your local saves to another safe location in your computer. Don’t switch to the Alpha test before taking this step.

Save Path: [Steam Library Path]/common/一方灵田/SavesDir/[A folder with numbers in its name]

[h3]Step 2: Switch the branch from your Steam library [/h3]

1. Right-click Immortal Life in your Steam Library.
   
2. Choose Properties…
   
3. Choose BETAS tab in the Properties menu.
   
4. Enter the code, zhongtian2022 and click Check Code.
   
5. Click the select button and choose alpha – alpha test to activate the new branch.
   
6. You want to switch back? No problem, click the drop-down menu again and choose none – it will take you back to the Default branch.
   

And that’s all for today, dear cultivators. If you think there’s any feature, substory or recipe that should be included in the next version of the game, let us know and we will take it into consideration. Also, remember that we love seeing how much you enjoy testing the new content, so please share all your screenshots with us! We love to show people how creative you guys can be.

Have a great day,
YiFang & 2PGames

Dear brothers and sisters,

It's been a while since the latest Sunset Inn Message board post, so we thought this might be the best moment to update you on the status of the major update we've been applying on Immortal Life's battle system — as well as many other topics of your interests as soul cultivators and dwellers of the Misty Valley.
As usual, we'd like to start with an appreciation message to our community for their continued support of our team and 2P Games’. All the things we achieved over the Early Access stage have been possible thanks to your valuable feedback and your enthusiasm for Immortal Life, so thank you very much for choosing us once more. We can't wait to bring more content for you to have fun in its magic world!

[h2]Road to the Foundation stage: what’s happening now?[/h2]

We've spent the past few weeks optimizing the game's code and extending the current features with new content like the Foundation stage. It was first mentioned in the past Sunset Inn Message board and our Community Q&A. This cultivation phase is very important for us since we'd like to design new features around this specific stage and create a strong connection between them. That's why we took so long to make it perfect.

To ensure this content will have the highest quality, all the updates developed in the next two months will be released exclusively in our Alpha branch. As your opinion is very important for us to create a great game, we're sincerely looking forward to learning what you think about this.

If you're interested in joining the test branch, please read these instructions first before taking any action. We know it’s the longest development and testing period we’ve ever had in the history of the game, so we apologize for the inconvenience to the players who want to enjoy new adventures in a stable gaming environment. Please stay tuned for further details!
