Status update on the Alpha Test and new screenshots!

Ahoy, captains!

We know many of you are eagerly awaiting news on the Crosswind Alpha test — and we’re finally ready to share an update.

The Alpha build is complete in terms of features — now we’re focusing on quality assurance and final polish. While it’s still an Alpha (and bugs are part of the fun), we want to make sure your first adventure in Crosswind is as smooth as possible. That means squashing as many bugs as we can before release. And yes — we’ll leave a few for you to find, too.

This build is the result of many months of hard work, so there is still a lot to test internally. We need more time to make it right.

Stay tuned and thank you for you patience! We will do our best so it is worth the wait!

While you wait, take a look at some fresh screenshots from the Alpha:

No crew on deck just yet — but we’re working on it for future updates.

Even the fiercest pirates need a little peace (and corn) from time to time!

Exploring deep dark caves of the Archipelago can be rewarding — but it’s never without the risk.

Boarding is coming in the Alpha playtest! It’s rough and early — but it’s there.

We weren’t planning to include a tutorial in this Alpha — but hey, surprises happen!

The swamp is the third — and most dangerous — biome in the Alpha. Expect creatures that are... less than ordinary.

One of the characters from our upcoming trailer. We can’t wait to see the characters you’ll create.
