As we approach our Early Access launch, we wanted to share what would most helpful after the game is live:[/p]
  • [p]Share posts about the game with your networks[/p]
  • [p]Spread the word through good old-fashioned word of mouth[/p]
[h2]Most importantly: Leave a review on September 16th![/h2][p][/p][p]Steam reviews are a huge part of the platform's discovery algorithm. If you've been a long-time supporter of Voyagers, sharing a review on launch day is the single biggest factor in other players discovering the game. Bonus points if you mention how many hours you've spent in our test builds![/p][p][/p][h2]Thank You, Alpha Testers[/h2][p]You've been the backbone of Voyagers' development. Your countless hours of testing, detailed bug reports, thoughtful feedback, and willingness to try broken builds have shaped every aspect of this game. The combat improvements, hunger system refinements, building mechanics, performance optimizations - none of it would exist without your dedicated playtesting.[/p][p]Honestly, we couldn't have made it this far without you. The value of having real players explore Nera, break things we didn't expect, and tell us what felt great versus what felt frustrating has been incredible.[/p][p][/p][h3]Get Credited in the Game[/h3][p]If you haven't filled it out yet, please complete this form to be credited in the game as an alpha playtester. We’d love to shout you out and recognize you for all your incredible feedback! Just keep names appropriate - we'll have to exclude anything inappropriate or offensive.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]Exclusive Cosmetic Rewards[/h3][p]As a small token of our appreciation, we're giving alpha testers some special items that celebrate your contribution:[/p]
  • [p]Bug-squashing statue (because you found so many!)[/p]
  • [p]Exclusive wall tapestry[/p]
  • [p]Statue that lets you use the legendary booty scooty (moving around when you are sitting)[/p]
[p]We hope these cosmetics communicate how thankful we are to you, and the role you played in making Voyagers what it is today.[/p][p][/p][p]Important: You need to own the official Voyagers of Nera game app and launch it before we can grant these rewards. We'll add them within 24 hours of your first launch.[/p][p][/p][h3]For Non-Alpha Players[/h3][p]We're not trying to gate keep these rewards - we want to thank all our supporters! If you weren't part of alpha testing, you can still earn these items:[/p][p]Review the game at launch (positive or negative feedback welcome) and share a screenshot + your Steam ID in this form to earn the rewards. We'll grant the rewards within 24 hours.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]PAX 2025 at MIX Indie Game Exchange[/h2][p]We're going to be on-site at the MIX Indie Game Exchange in Seattle, on Friday from 7PM to 11PM at 115 Bell St, Seattle, WA 98121.
