The Alters News

[p]Hello Jans!

Recently, our Discord and Reddit have been literally taken over by Jan Dolskis. Our community continues to grow with new Jans, and you can't even imagine how moved we are by this. In addition, we receive so many positive words and reviews from you, which makes us really proud and motivated to continue this adventure together. And believe us, there's much more to come! Thank you!

As this is our second Community Update, we want to dedicate it to you - Jan Dolskis. There will be couple of art from you, vinyl pre-order, and our next goals.
[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Vinyl pre-order is available![/h3][p]That's right! Right now you can pre-order amazing The Alters OST composed by Piotr Musiał, on a Vinyl.

Available in clear and beautiful Rapidium-inspired, multi-coloured splatter:
[/p][carousel][/carousel][p]Tracklist:

SIDE A[/p][p]A01. The Alters Theme[/p][p]A02. How Did I End Up Here?[/p][p]A03. Home Far Away[/p][p]A04. Rapidium Theme[/p][p]A05. Project Dolly[/p][p]A06. Molten Echoes[/p][p]A07. Running in Circles[/p][p][/p][p]SIDE B[/p][p]B01. The Last Stretch[/p][p]B02. Magnetic Storm[/p][p]B03. Alternate Lifepaths[/p][p]B04. The Prism[/p][p]B05. Getting Ready[/p][p]B06. Going Home[/p][p]B07. What if? (The Alters Song)

As Piotr once said: “While many sci-fi soundtracks these days favor the sound of analog synths, the idea behind the music of The Alters was a bit different. We wanted the music to feel more untraditional and mix digital, glitchy elements, unstable reverb with organic sounds, all of which together could support this unique story.”

Now you will be able to take part of the story to your home!
[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Jans are everywhere![/h3][p]Yes, it's true! We see your posts and artwork that you publish on our Reddit and Discord. Believe us, each one of them touches our hearts.
Below you will find just a glimpse of amazing piece of your art:[/p][p][/p][p]Made by u/fionabasta[/p][carousel][/carousel][p]
3D Print made by u/Amazing-Oomoo [/p][p]Made by u/MarkusTheFarkus [/p][hr][/hr][h3]Plans for now[/h3][p]We are currently working on addressing your feedback in the upcoming update - 1.3.0, which will resolve most of the recent issues you have encountered.

[p]Hello Jans!
[/p][p]Today, we’re excited to share another video in our long-running "11 Facts" series, a tradition we’ve followed with the launch of each of our games.
[/p][p]This episode is especially unique and personal, as we invited Alex Jordan to present 11 facts for you, using 10 different voices of Jan!
[/p][p]And since there are so many versions of Jan, let’s see if you can guess who’s saying what.
[/p][p]Check it out below and on YouTube. Good luck!
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]

11 facts + bonus one:

1. More than one Jan [/p][p]In The Alters, you take the role of Jan Dolski, a man forced to create alternative versions of himself in order to survive. 
[/p][p]2. An expedition gone wrong [/p][p]Jan Dolski is the sole survivor of a space expedition gone wrong. Stranded on an alien planet revolving around a radioactive sun.
[/p][p]3. A giant ticking clock [/p][p]The planet you landed on is riddled with dangers, the biggest one being its giant radioactive sun. [/p][p][/p][p]4. A mobile base [/p][p]To traverse the hostile planet’s surface, you need to make use of a mobile base. This giant, round-shaped structure can be expanded by useful additional modules. 
[/p][p]5. A mysterious substance [/p][p]The planet Jan Dolski is stranded on, houses a mysterious substance called Rapidium. Its unique capabilities helps you create The Alters - alternative versions of Jan.
[/p][p]6. The human dimension[/p][p]Your Alters are human beings with their own personalities and emotions. While bringing them to life is dictated by skills they possess, each one of them has his own emotional baggage.
[/p][p]7. Expanding the base [/p][p]With the support of other Alters, you can plan to expand your base with additional modules. You will be able to build units that help the mission run more efficiently.
[/p][p]8. Tools and technologies [/p][p]In the base, you’ll be able to research new technologies and build tools that will make your life on the planet safer and easier. 
[/p][p]9. Extracting resources [/p][p]Building base modules, satisfying Alters’ needs, and researching new technologies requires resources. To extract these through mining outposts, you will have to venture outside the base and explore the farthest corners of the planet.
[/p][p]10. A hostile planet [/p][p]Exploring your surroundings and searching for resources entails contact with many potential threats. Various anomalies may stop you in your tracks by exposing you to radiation as well as fooling your senses.
[/p][p]11. Stakes are only getting higher [/p][p]Can you ensure the success of your unlikely crew? Just know that Jan Dolski’s troubles won’t end there. With unsolved problems he left behind on Earth and a powerful corporation watching his every step, Jan will soon discover that the fight for survival can not only be challenging but also deeply personal…[/p][p]
12. (Bonus Fact) Jaan Jan Jan
Hmm Jaaaaan. Jan Jan Jan Jaaaan. Mhhhmmm Jan Jaaan Jaaan. Jaan Jan? Jan Jaaan!
