Closed Alpha April 1-8!

[h3]Hail Tribe Leader![/h3]
After a long period of hammering the build on the anvil of Unity, a new version of ASKA has been successfully forged!

We have added a complete new technology tier, with all new buildings and industries, new equipment tools and weapons, but most importantly we’re ready to accept submissions for our next Closed Alpha.

[h3]Join the Closed Alpha[/h3]
Our third Closed Alpha will take place during April 1-8 and as of right now we invite you to step into our Discord server and sign up. We’ll select 50 new testers to join us as we attempt to break the build.

Alpha testers will have access to a complete build and will be able to play as much as they like during the Closed Alpha week. No time limits, no gated content, everything that’s been added so far is completely playable.

[h3]What’s next after the Closed Alpha?[/h3]
We’ll be following up the Closed Alpha with a Closed Beta and then a long-awaited Open Beta. We’ll share more info as we get closer to the dates.



[h3]So what can I do in the Closed Alpha?[/h3]
  • You will have to survive in a realistic environment, facing weather conditions, monsters and animals.
  • You will be able to build a camp from scratch and get your first villagers.
  • You will command your villagers and guide them as you keep expanding your tribe and village.
  • You will build, mine, craft, forge, farm, fish, hunt and fight alongside your tribe of AI villagers
  • You will see your settlement grow from a handful of shacks to a small medieval town.
  • The Closed Alpha is singleplayer only. Closed Betas and Open Betas will feature multiplayer.

Hail tribe leaders!

Today at 7PM CET we're playing the new build featuring new content! Here are some of the new buildings and features you can see tonight:

[h3]1. Boatbuilder[/h3]
Self-explanatory, the boatbuilder will allow you to construct your first watercraft and take to the seas! Or at least go fishing in proper fashion.


[h3]2. Tier 2 Buildings[/h3]
We've already implemented a lot of the new buildings from the new tech tier (pictured above: the Tier 2 Workshop), so we will be able to take our first steps out of the "Stick Age".

[h3]3. Farming[/h3]
The agricultural revolution is now upon us! Players will now find seeds whenever they gather plants and will be able to plant them in fields.

Fields will need tilling, watering and fertilizing. Each plant has its own season when it needs to be planted and harvested, but the exact details are for you to discover.
