Exciting News: New Testing Phases Added to Our Patreon Benefits!
Dear Patrons,
We’re excited to share a new update that will deepen your involvement in the development of our mods! Until now, mods arriving at the Beta Testing Phase were already tested internally by our team through two earlier phases. However, we've decided to invite you—our dedicated patrons—to participate and help us refine our mods during all stages of development.
To achieve this, we’ve introduced Pre-Alpha and Alpha Testing phases as part of our Patreon benefits.
The New Testing Phases Explained:
We have introduced dedicated testing channels on our Discord server to support each phase of mod testing. To ensure you gain access to these channels, please verify that your Discord account is linked to your Patreon profile. If your account is not yet linked, you can update this in your Patreon settings to activate the appropriate permissions.
Pre-Alpha Testing – This is the earliest phase of mod development. In this highly restricted stage, experimental versions of the mod are tested for core features and potential bugs. Patrons with Diamond Tier and above access will help identify major issues, shape the foundation of the mod, and influence design choices.
Alpha Testing – After Pre-Alpha, mods move into the Alpha phase where core functionality is in place. Patrons in the Platinum Tier and above can now participate in testing and provide critical feedback to ensure the mod is developing as planned. This phase focuses on refining features and resolving larger bugs.
Beta Testing – The final phase before public release. Patrons in the Gold Tier and above will have access to near-final builds of mods to test for minor bugs, balance issues, and final adjustments. Your feedback here is crucial to delivering polished, high-quality mods to the community.
Why Are We Introducing These Phases?
We believe that including our patrons in the entire testing process will improve both the quality of our mods and your experience as a supporter. Your early feedback can help shape features, fix bugs, and ensure smooth mod releases. This also gives you an exclusive opportunity to be part of the creative and technical development process.
These new testing opportunities are available now as part of our Gold, Platinum, and Diamond tiers. Your contribution and participation play a vital role in shaping the future of our mods.
Thank you for your continued support! We’re excited to have you alongside us in this new journey of collaborative mod development.
How to Access the Testing Channels on Discord:
Ensure your Discord account is linked to Patreon: Go to your Patreon settings and verify that your Discord username is properly linked.
Check your roles on Discord: Once linked, you will be automatically assigned the correct role based on your tier, granting you access to the testing channels.
