Hello everyone,



The wait is over, our RIFTSTORM Alpha Playtest is now live, and you can try the game for free from 16 - 30 October, 2024 (PT).

After two playtests and two years in production, RIFTSTORM is now officially in Alpha, and we owe a massive thanks to all of you who have been testing the game with us.

[h3]Peer into the Darkness[/h3]
This Alpha version of the game aims to address one of your biggest concerns from our previous playtests: thematic immersion. A lot of you loved our game, but didn't quite get what your role is in our world or what the Mythic Protocol is. This time around, we've reworked our tutorial system to throw players into the deep dark underbelly of the secretive organization.

[h3]New environments, new weapons, new systems[/h3]
We've also implemented our overhauled Dungeon System 2.0, that allows for greater map design flexibility and more interactive actions in our maps, alongside our updated Loot and Crafting systems in the game. Based on your feedback, we've expanded the armory inventory and provided universal access to it across all characters. We hope that these changes help to improve the loot grind and allow you to refine your builds with your idea weapons for each character.





[h3]Get competitive[/h3]
By popular demand, leaderboards are also back in this playtest though we are focusing the challenges a bit more this time around. If you're the competitive type, we will be hosting timed-runs for the leaderboard and endurance runs for the Challenge Tower.



Each floor you conquer in the Challenge Tower brings you closer to the top, unlocking exclusive in-game items and more.



Daily standings will be shared on our website and across our social channels. Be sure to check out where you stand one our leaderboard page.

We hope you will have a great time with this build, and if you want to stay up to date with the latest news, media, and other announements please follow us on across our social channels.

==============================================================================

We can’t wait for you to play RIFTSTORM and experience all the new features we’ve prepared for you. Make sure to download the demo today to experience RIFTSTORM.

Enjoy the playtest and good luck to tackling the missions🫡


Warmly,
Fayi and The RIFTSTORM team

Hi everyone!

Fayi here, and I’m super excited that our Alpha Playtest starts tomorrow🥳 Are you ready to play RIFTSTORM for FREE for 2 weeks? Because I sure am!

Currently, the RIFTSTORM team is putting the finishing touches on preparations for tomorrow’s Alpha Playtest. We’re excited to make sure everything goes perfectly so you can fully enjoy playing RIFTSTORM. Also, I want to let you know that our Alpha Demo page is now LIVE. Don't forget to check out the details there.

In preparation for our playtest, I want to let you know that RIFTSTORM is just the tip of the iceberg in our sprawling Occultical universe. Set within this vast world, RIFTSTORM connects to Confiction Labs' growing ecosystem of games, media, and more. To access exclusive media, rewards, and other products within our ecosystem, we invite you to join our Portal.



[h2]What is a Portal? [/h2]

The Portal is where community members, fans, and players can delve into the world of Occultical and Collaborative Entertainment. Designed as a nexus for media, content, and exclusive rewards, the Portal invites all users to become a part of the Mythic Protocol.

During this Alpha Playtest, you’ll have the chance to get exclusive skins and more rewards just by playing RIFTSTORM and completing the playtest mission arc. Available only to early participants (only last from 16 October to 30 October PT).



You’ll collect Protocol Points by finishing assignments in-game which can be claimed through the assignment's dashboard. These points act as a valuable currency within the Confiction Labs ecosystem, providing players with the ability to unlock and redeem future rewards.

[h2]What are the protocol points? [/h2]

Protocol points refer to the points given to the users in our Portal for completing quests. These protocol points can later be redeemed for future rewards (i.e. exclusive alternative Weaver skins, access to new media, in-game rewards, and more). Protocol Points are accumulated through the completion of in-game and ecosystem-related assignments.

Collect your protocol points and don’t miss your chance to be among the first to play. Be sure to download the demo from 16 October to 30 October PT.

==============================================================================

Alright, that’s it from me now. Get some rest, and see you tomorrow in the playtest! I’ll catch you in-game 😆


Warmly,
Fayi
