Manor Lords alpha applications open
Hey everyone!
Thank you so much for supporting the development all this time. Especially with me focusing on work instead on blogging this is extremely appreciated.
Later today I'll publish a blogpost on Steam with a very long description of all the changes I made to the game throughout the last two years of development.
It will be visible here when it drops: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1363080
As a symbolic thank you, I wanted to post an excerpt from the post to give Patreons an earlier heads-up on how to apply for a closed testing position for those interested.
If you have a lot of free time and are passionate about the project, it would be great to have you in the closed alpha group.
However, if you just want to simply play the game earlier - please wait instead, as you'll only be frustrated because of the unfinished state. Same if you don't want to participate in internal discussions or votes. Ability to record footage is also a plus.
If you'd like to join the Closed Alpha:
1. Join the Manor Lords Discord server https://discord.gg/RRD55RZdB7
2. Find a bot called AlphaBot.
3. Send a private message to the bot with the command !alpha
4. The bot will ask you a couple of questions.
5. Wait for an e-mail confirmation. I plan to pick new testers irregularly so don't worry if you don't receive a message immediately - as always patience is appreciated.
Please make sure to connect your Discord account in the Patreon settings. If you joined Patreon before but stopped supporting, please mention it in the questionnaire.
Note: If you can't send the message, please verify this server privacy setting is on: Allow direct messages from server members
I invite you to read the full post on Steam later, it will convey a lot of extra info, gifs, videos, music and screenshots.
Thank you very much for your support and patience. It really was a much more primitive game back in 2020. It's a long journey, longer than anyone expected, but the outcome I'm quite sure also will be better than expected. At least for me it definitely is.
Take care everyone!

2023 then .. alright. i would have kindly waited and supported more than that. good to know slavic won't rush it. take your time to meet your (new) standards!
Make sure to release your game in time so that you will be aligable to the Game Awards in the given year :)
When is the next demo? I was out of the country for the last one :(
Hey, sorry you missed it, unfortunately I don't know that yet.
Very promising game. This made me join Patreon :)
Really appreciated the Demo. Thanks very much. Looking forward to the EA if and when that becomes available. All the best with the development.
Joined today as a Patron, and I am happy to Sponsor this Project
Can't wait for the next demo :D or maybe if lucky alpha access.
signed up for testing, excited for this game!
Hey Greg, świetna robota. I am playing Steam Demo and its great, keep up the good work, also idea with DEMO its a good old stuff move I really miss it.
Ha, so many applicants, question tho, will applying later than the first few hundred/thousand effect your chance of getting permission to test? Thanks.
Greetings Greg! I became a Patron and signed up to be an alpha tester today although there are 16,366 others now waiting for the opportunity as well - Hehe!
Damn cant wait to see where this game goes,
Iam so hyped! Can I have access please? :)
Awesome to hear, cannot wait to see where to road will take us!
Nice!!!!!!
Less goo
Another one late to the party. I was just notified of this game from a recent viewer of mine. Might I say, I am excited. Can't wait to see where the game ends up. Looking awesome so far!
Late to the party too, but signed up for Alpha testing yesterday.
I know I'm very late to the party, not just with this post but with only finally ending up joining patreon today. I have been (quietly) following development since the first moment I heard of it, but admit I stayed in the bubble of distant admiration. But given the amazing development, especially doing (almost) all of it alone, I figured I could try and help at least a bit with development, even if it's only a small contribution. Either way, thank you for creating the game I have been waiting for for a very long time and for staying true to the authentic approach. Can't wait until I can finally get a chance to play it! =)
Thanks for all the support folks, I'm very lucky to have you. Cheers!

Congratulations Slavic, hope you have a productive alpha test!
Congratulations on this huge milestone mate!
OMG it's happening! Been following and supporting this game for 2+ years now couldn't be more excited and happy for Slavic and the team
Always been hesitant about becoming a Patreon merely because I'm keen on keeping my cash for more important things however this truly convinced me to start supporting you more than just merely reviewing your work from a distance. Very promising work love it!
There's nothing more important than basket man.... 😉😁
Excellent, well done. This is very exciting
Hope I get picked for the alpha group as we have been waiting a long time for this and I would be more than happy to help in any way I can in the future development of the game.
Bravo ! Go Manor Lords go !
Great job slavic! I applied got enough free time and would love to help you!
