2025/02/08 Multiple Updates and a New Public Beta Test Branch
Due to limited internal resources, we are unable to fully test every new release before deployment. To address this, we have decided to open a Beta branch that contains updates that have not undergone full testing. We hope the community can help us test this version. If there are no major issues, the updates will be merged into the stable (relatively stable) version. Additionally, this Beta branch may include more experimental and ambitious features. If the player community finds some of these experiments interesting, they may be officially implemented in future releases.
How to Enable the Beta Version:
1. Go to your Library and find the game.
2. Right-click on the game -> Properties.
3. Navigate to the Betas tab and select "alice_beta - public beta test".
4. Once downloaded, the game will run in Beta mode.
Beta Version Features:
- Periodic data wipes.
- 30,000 Alice Coins available.
- Unlock all items.
- Regular updates and bug fixes, which will be released to the stable version after testing.
- Experimental content and features.
The game is still in early development, with dozens to nearly a hundred changes made daily. There may be oversights that could lead to more issues, and we sincerely appreciate the community’s support in helping us improve the game. Thank you all for your assistance!
