Early Alpha, or Ylands Early Alpha, basically means that our game is still in early stages of development. For that reason, you should be aware of the fact that the game is far from being complete and does not have all the features and cool things we want it to have. It also means that the game can sometimes break, crash or do weird things.
After more than 18 months of development, we wanted to involve you, the players, in the development as well - and this is the reason why we released Ylands as an Early Alpha.
