Alpha Test Commences for Pet Raiders
Oh Baby Games has announced the commencement of the application process for the alpha test of their upcoming game, Pet Raiders. This crucial phase is aimed at collecting valuable feedback from players, which will be instrumental in shaping the future development of the game.
Application and Tester Criteria
The alpha test is open for application exclusively to the active members of the Oh Baby Games Discord community. Selected testers will play a key role in providing detailed feedback and identifying bugs, communicating through designated Discord channels. It is imperative for testers to adhere to confidentiality, with strict prohibitions against the public sharing of any test material.
Inside the Alpha Experience
The founder of Oh Baby Games, Pastuer Tan, highlights that the alpha test will primarily focus on the dynamics of pets in the game. “This is the first time you get to feel what it’s like to fight with a [pet] pack,” said Tan. The test aims to evaluate how these pets perform in combat, their transition behaviors, and the impact of their abilities on gameplay. This phase specifically omits broader game features such as crafting, loot, and a variety of character roles to focus meticulously on pet integration and interaction within the game.
Pets are envisioned as more than mere companions; they are significant extensions of the player’s character, each possessing unique moves, ultimate abilities, and passive effects that augment the capabilities of both the pet and player. A novel “4th move” system is also being tested, urging players to experiment with different pet combinations to unlock distinctive abilities, thereby enriching the strategic depth of gameplay.
Exclusions from the Alpha Build
This alpha build is in the early stages of development and does not include major systems such as weapon crafting, hero special abilities, item looting, or an overarching narrative. Testers will have access to only one playable character to maintain a focused feedback process on pet interactions.
Join the Test
Those interested in participating in the alpha testing can apply by filling out a form provided by Oh Baby Games. The application requires details such as the user’s name, Discord information, and an acknowledgment of the expectations set for the alpha phase.
