Closed alpha starts on the 14th of March!
We are happy to announce that the closed alpha will start next week on Thursday, the 14th of March.
Thanks to the feedback we gathered from our mini pre-alpha playtests, our programmers and designers were able to iron out game-crashing bugs and make significant improvements during the last few weeks. Now we have a version ready for the start of our closed alpha!
As a reminder: To participate in the closed alpha, you need to be a backer who has the alpha in their reward list or you pre-ordered the alpha later on Backerkit. We will send out the Steam keys for the alpha via Backerkit.
If you're NOT one of the alpha testers yet but want to be, you can still pre-order your alpha access here with this widget (this also includes a Steam key for the final game later):
DISCLAIMER: Only buy the alpha if you want to be part of the development and if you are aware that this is an early work-in-progress version of the game.
ATTENTION – KEYS ARE LIMITED
The available keys for this closed alpha batch are limited. 3/4 of the keys are already reserved, 1/4 are still available for new people. So don't wait too long if you want to be in the group of alpha players. With your feedback, you can influence and shape the further development of the game.
But what is an alpha anyway?
Maybe some of you don't know the game dev term "alpha". As preparation, you can watch this video from our team member Ben that explains what an alpha of a game means:
Ben also continued to make weekly Base Builder Monday videos, you can find them all here.
We are thrilled that you can start playing soon. Stay tuned, next week we will tell you more about how exactly you can help the development with your feedback. Thank you once again for your support!

PS: Don't forget to wishlist GROUND OF ACES on Steam. Collecting wishlists is important for the future of the game, so it really helps!

PPS: Game recommendation: OF LIFE AND LAND
If you're into city builders, we have a recommendation for you: On April 2, our fellow Swiss devs from Kerzoven release their settlement-building strategy game OF LIFE AND LAND on Steam.
