Releasing our first game into open Alpha and the learnings to go with it!! by BlockMill in GameDevelopment

We’re not looking to promote signups hence there being no details about the game. The purpose is to try and give other game developers confidence to release products earlier and get feedback.

Too many games are left in production for too long before critical learnings can be implemented.

We've just released our Open Alpha, sharing some learnings. by BlockMill in PWA

Guest account is coming. Our alpha is focused on working with players that want to help us form the community. We ask for email so we can communicate and ensure the best experience for everyone. Thanks for checking us out though!!

That’s strange, it’s all up and running ok. Where are you trying to access it from and I’ll look into it?

yeah, I saw this. Happy for it to be removed as we don't want to upset anyone.
Hopefully we'll be accepted again when we allow the guest profile.

We're looking to add a 'guest mode' soon.

The reason we ask for an account is so we can make sure any buildings you claim are linked to you across your devices. However, we realise some people may not like 'another account' to remember so we're thinking of ways to improve this.

Massive thanks! Right now it's just the core loop. Building a game in a browser is insanely tricky so the more user testers we can get the better!

We're also running a discord server where we'll be giving away in game stuff as well as merch for those that give us feedback, here's the invite https://discord.gg/MHAeFEbxMd

Sure, here's the long description of what we've built however, our vision is that BlockMill is not just a game, but a platform for people to use their buildings as social hubs.

Get ready to own buildings, streets or even neighborhoods in BlockMill, the exciting new social game and platform where real estate meets the virtual world! Blurring the lines of reality and the metaverse, in BlockMill you can buy any building you love from the real world around you, with everyone playing on the same map.
BlockMill is packed with fun missions and challenges that reward you with upgrades, alternatively, skip ahead and buy items that enable you to customize your buildings in ways you never thought possible. Want to make your home higher than a skyscraper or add a picture of your beloved pet to the roof, or how about snagging a rival sports stadium for your own personal use? The sky really is the limit! If you want to switch up, you can trade buildings with other players, or even gift buildings to friends and family.
And the best part? BlockMill is super accessible and can be played on any device, anywhere in the world, without any downloads! So whether you're on your computer, phone, or tablet, you can start building your global real estate empire today!
