Stars Reach Broadens its Pre-Alpha to Kickstarter Supporters, Initiates Testing of Refinery Skill Branch

Multiple news items have been released this week from Stars Reach by Playable Worlds, including some details about their anticipated Kickstarter.

First and foremost, Playable Worlds revealed this week that those who follow the Kickstarter – irrespective of backing it – will be automatically included in the ongoing testing phases.

“We are grateful to have gained more than 2,300 followers on Kickstarter – everyone who clicked to follow us there is being invited to participate in one of January’s playtests! We always recognize and reward the people in our community who contribute to our success.”

By clicking on the “notify me on launch” link on Kickstarter, gamers can gain access to this opportunity and also contribute to increasing the follower count, an aspect the developers are evidently interested in.

In other news, they have announced what is going to be tested in the upcoming week; the next pre-alpha test is scheduled for this Saturday for all existing test teams and includes The Refinery update.

The testing for Stars Reach Pre-Alpha continues with the addition of a new branch in the Mineralogy skill tree, as per the preview. “With the unlocking of this branch, players can use the Refinery crafting station and access more than 400 new recipes. On a positive note, a screen freezing issue has reportedly been fixed by the developers.”
