FAQ
HOW DO I GET ACCESS TO THE PRE-ALPHA?
There are two ways to get access to the pre-alpha.
The cheapest, and our preferred way is for you to join and interact with our community on our Discord server which can be joined here: Neuroslicers.game
As you interact you will earn XP and climb the ranks.
Your rank determines you place in the pre-alpha invite queue.
We will be inviting people over the 8-week period in batches based on your rank. The more you interact the faster you'll get Pre-Alpha access.
The other method to get Pre-Alpha access is via Brightlocker where you can pre-purchase the game or instant access to the Pre-Alpha when it launches on the 13th.
Check the rewards here for details: Brightlocker.com

The Pre-Alpha is running from the Friday 13th April 2018, 6PM UTC until Monday 4th June 208, 12pm UTC and will be available only over Weekends.
WHEN WILL THE SERVERS BE AVAILABLE?
Servers will be online each weekend from 6PM UTC on the Friday’s until 12PM UTC on the Monday’s.
DO YOU PLAN TO DO ANY UPDATES DURING THE PRE-ALPHA?
Yes and No – for the first 3 / 4 weeks we’ll be doing bug fixes while taking onboard your other feedback. On the 4th May we’ll aim to get a content update in which will include the items we didn’t manage to get in in time for the 13th April. Depending on your feedback / suggestions over the first 3 / 4 weeks we’ll also aim to get some of your ideas in as well, however this is very much dependent on the complexity of a given task.
HOW DO I PROVIDE FEEDBACK / BUG REPORTS AND IDEAS TO THE DREAM HARVEST TEAM?
