Hello everyone! It's almost time to test our Endless Mode, this is our Alpha release (1/6/2022)! The game will continuously be in Alpha V1.0.x, receiving patches and hotfixes to fix issues you find, until a portion of our story mode will be complete and ready for testing in V1.x.x. These are the features available to you in our Alpha V1.0:

1. Multiplayer: You can play with up to 4 of your friends! If we find we have a high player volume, we may upgrade our server.
2. An intro tutorial: Level 1 is already in for Story Mode, this introduces you to a few mechanics you'll need to navigate yourself in the game. You will receive a tutorial when you load into the game, and Endless Mode will be locked until you complete the 2ns tutorial: Level 1.
3. Character Customization: You can customize your player avatar! This is done to the right of the Book, make sure you hit the save button before joining your friends!
4. Tower Management System: You can unlock and upgrade your towers from here, it is introduced in the Level 1 tutorial. The only difference is that Endless Mode now has a new currency: Platinum. This currency is used for upgrading towers and is shared by all players, while Gold is used for upgrading your own abilities and is not shared. You can exchange your Gold for Platinum next to the Tower Management Board in a 1:1 ratio. This mechanic will be patched into the tutorial soon.
5. Scoreboard: This is to your immediate left when you load into Endless Mode, this shows your score compared to your friends (lets get competitive!)
6. Ability Store: This is to your immediate right when you load into Endless Mode, this allows you to upgrade your unlocked abilities. For the Alpha, all arrow abilities are unlocked to test and balance them. On full release of Story Mode, these abilities will be locked behind a new currency: Gems. You will earn these for every level you complete in Story Mode.
7. Arrow Abilities: This will be introduce normally in the Story Mode, but for the purpose of the Alpha it will be here: in order to select an arrow ability you must first grab the arrow, then use the trigger button to enable the Ability Dial. While holding the trigger, select an ability, then release the trigger. The model won't change, but the ability will be activated. The arrow skins will be patched in.

This Alpha is testing our Endless Mode for bugs and general improvements, not changes. We appreciate any constructive feedback we get! Please keep in mind this is a student made game, and we will not be implementing any suggestions that require major changes at this point.
