Hi there.

The alpha does demand a high PC specification. what is your current system spec? specifically the exact CPU generation and model, the RAM on your PC, SSD capacity and resolution you play at. oh and what keyboard you use. alternatively can wait for a free-fly session and test out for free without spending money and see if the alpha works well on your PC and if you enjoy the gameplay. not everyone does and that is ok - i rather they test out during the free fly than waste $$$. Either way, if you plan to try for free or get the alpha, can DM me for a code to grant in-game credits and maybe free gear.

As for youtube, there's plenty of tubers out there - but i personally do not advise watching them because most of the content and methods will either be obsolete in a few months (due to the nature of the alpha and changes) or they are taking advantage of a change or bug that is old or you may not experience in the near future. So i do not want player expectations to incorrectly be set too early. you can always join our discord to watch our live gameplay session.

the only constant i can guarantee with this alpha is change.

sure
discord.gg/casualstrokes

oh do note if they just gifted you and you have not spent any money on the store. you may not be considered a backer and thus may not receive free items.

yeah but don't buy anything yet. try out first and see if you like it. then if you do want to get something from the web store, discuss with us on discord.
