  Updates regarding the Among the Wild Alpha

  The Closed Alpha will now run on both Steam and the Epic Games Store, and also we have some updates regarding the game - including some fun leaks! Read on... Closed Alpha available on Epic Games Store We are now enabling the ability for the closed alpha to run on the Epic Games Store for those who would prefer to use the Epic Games Store launcher. Those who would prefer to use Steam can of course still use Steam. However! Closed Alpha key recipients may only receive 1 key: Steam or Epic Games Store. So what we have done is given you the ability to choose which key you would prefer by updating our sign-up form with the option to choose Steam or Epic Games Store. Up until this point, Steam was the only platform we offered. So we have defaulted everyone's preferences to Steam. This means if you have signed up for the closed alpha and if you wish to receive a Steam key then you do not need to do anything else. If you wish to receive an Epic Games Store key however, you will need to re-register using the same form at https://amongthewildgame.com. Simply: 1) Enter the same email address you signed up with 2) Select that you want to be part of the Alpha Key giveaway, then 3) Choose Epic Games Store as your preferred platform 4) Submit and verify your email again, and you're done! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45053636/084f746ef5ac851f4981667f990970700919dfee.jpg Feedback from the Closed Alpha and New Features We've gotten a ton of feedback from the closed alpha and we've been using that to inform the next steps for Among The Wild. We've devised some new plans and have been hard at work all year to make those changes that we feel will address the issues some of the Closed Alpha testers have been running into. It's been a while since we've sent out alpha keys... Super sorry for this. We would've loved to give more concrete updates and more frequent key drops if possible, but since so much has been in flux in the game it's been hard to commit to any information regarding the state of th...

  New Features + Closed Alpha Info!

  Hello Wranglers! We hope you’ve been keeping well! I know things have been a bit quiet on our front, but we have been hard at work on getting the Closed Alpha version of Among The Wild up and running. One of the reasons we haven’t had much to show during this process - and it wasn’t for the lack of trying - was simply because so much was in flux, that whenever we consider sharing something we would think to ourselves “Yeah but in 2 weeks this will be WAY more representative of what we’re aiming for”. So we decided to wait until things are a bit more solidified (but still lots of room for feedback!) before showing anything off. Anyways! Today in this post we’ll be going over some progress we’ve made - both on old features but also introducing some new features we didn’t even have a couple months ago. I’ve also made a video outlining this so if you’d prefer to enjoy this in video format with some nicer b-roll of the game itself, feel free to check out the youtube video. But one quick announcement before we get into it! We have a release window for the Closed Alpha!! We’re aiming for late November. This could still change, and if it does we’ll let you know, but this is the current plan. Note that not everyone who has signed up for a key will get one, and if you don’t get a key there will likely be future waves for keys - which we can provide more information on a little later. But for now, if you haven’t signed up for a chance for a key, you can do so on our website. Now, on to the progress we’ve made in the game! World Generation: Among The Wild has procedurally generated levels, and has had that for quite some time. But we have added a bunch of improvements to how we generate the world. This allows us to have better control over the generation. For example: biome generation also takes neighboring biomes into consideration so the biomes transition naturally. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45053636/4b736a0318b9beb1c6a6d87ebe20e70e0771360e.gif The new procedural generation also giv...

  The creatures you collect in first-person farming sim Among the Wild might not be as helpful as you hope: 'They're more of a pain in the ass'

  There's a fine line between adorable and horrifying, and Among The Wild has one boot on either side of it. Revealed at the PC Gaming Show today, the first game from Swedish developer Nuggets Entertainment is a first-person farming sim, exploration adventure, and creature-collector. And those creatures sure are cute… except, are they?.. Read more.
