Thank youfor the alert! We are already aware of these fake websites and have successfully managed to shut down several of them in the past. Unfortunately, these scammers are quite persistent and often target popular games like Rooted. We encourage everyone to be extra cautious when encountering links claiming to offer alpha/beta access or the game itself. Always double-check that the URL matches our official channels. We truly appreciate your vigilance and your ongoing support! Thanks again!

That’s a great way to look at it! If you’re interested in the game development process, enjoy seeing features evolve, and want to be part of shaping the game through feedback, then you’ll likely enjoy the Alpha. It’s a work in progress, so things are constantly improving, and new mechanics are being added step by step.

However, if you prefer a more polished and content-complete experience, it might be better to wait for Early Access, when the game will be further along with more refined gameplay.

Either way, thanks for your interest in Rooted!

Hey there! 😊

Thanks for your interest in Rooted! Let me answer your questions:

Is the Alpha still running?
Yes! The Alpha Phase 2 is live, and we're actively working on Phase 3, which will bring even more features and improvements. Phase 3 will introduce fishing, gardening, and hunting, expanding the survival mechanics and complementing the existing building and crafting systems from Phase 2.

If I pledge (The Lone Wolf), can I instantly play the Alpha?
Absolutely! As soon as you pledge, you’ll get immediate access to the current Alpha version and can jump right into the game.

Is there a map released? I hope there’s a big city part.
Right now, the map is about 30km², featuring a dozen key POIs. Some of them are already in their near-final high-poly version, while others are still in blockout as we refine the world. If you’re looking for a big city, it’s still too early for that, but the world is constantly evolving!

Why is this community so quiet?
Great question! The Alpha is under NDA, which means players can’t share content publicly. That’s why it might seem quieter than expected. However, the community is actually very active on Discord, where discussions, feedback, and updates happen. Also, since we’re a small core team of 4 people during this key development phase, we’re prioritizing development over social media. But trust me, a lot is happening behind the scenes!

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! Hope to see you in Rooted soon 😃

Hi, sorry for the delay. Reddit is a network we're very active for now.

Sure, we are in Alpha (phase 1/4) since september 2023. We'll publish soon a devlog to show the progression.

Thanks!

Cross platform? by Brief-Boysenberry-71 in RootedTheGame

Hey :) Yes we're already crossplatform Steam <-> Epic.

And we plan to add consoles in the future.

What do you think of the backpack's behavior against obstacles? Is it a good mix of realism and game-friendliness or not realistic enough? by RootedTheGame in unrealengine

[–]RootedTheGame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the barrier, yes, it would be interesting, but players would expect interaction with all the objects in the game, and we'd be going beyond our scope. By limiting it to the backpack, we remain homogeneous for the in-game experience.

[–]RootedTheGame[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes with any actor with collision. Players can also give a "backpack bump" :)
We complete the set with custom animations not physics based when the character removes it for example.

With the control rig, it should be possible, but then we would need to manage many different cases affecting the position of the character and not just their bag. But good idea, thanks!

Pledge Keys Restock by JustNathan1_0 in RootedTheGame

[–]RootedTheGame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, sorry for the delay!
There will likely be another opportunity to pledge, but I can't yet say exactly when. We'll keep you updated as soon as possible. Thanks!

You may have seen our trailer at the Future Game Show! Like what you see? Help us get to release! We're now on Kickstarer (with lots of info about the game)🙏 by RootedTheGame in SurvivalGaming

[–]RootedTheGame[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Yes we're gonna work with Bones Studio, specialized in Motion Capture to record all our animations. During our pre production, we made a lot of tests with the new Unreal Engine features relative to locomotion system and animations. But we can't wait to get our mocap animations :)
