    Content and Feedback

    Backer Build One is a pre-alpha build of the tactical portion of the gameplay. It contains the demo map which you may have seen from the previous events that we attended. It also includes procedurally generated maps.

    In Backer Build One you will play as the New Jericho faction, controlling 2 Assault soldiers, 1 Sniper and 1 Heavy. The Backer Build includes the free-aiming system introduced at EGX Rezzed and the inventory system which we have not yet showcased.

    A help document is included with the download detailing key-bindings and some gameplay tips.

    Should you encounter any bugs within the Backer Build (and you will), please submit a bug report. When you encounter a bug, just hit F12. The game will capture the current screenshot. You can click on the screenshot in the bug report. This will allow you to draw on and highlight any issues on the screen. You can also submit your name or email address along with a title and description of the bug. When you send the report, all of this information along with anonymous system data such as hardware configuration and the game's logs will be sent directly to the Snapshot Games QA team.

    For more detailed discussion about any bugs encountered, or to leave general feedback - please visit the Snapshot Games Forum

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Below are some of the questions most frequently asked about the Backer Build, with answers.

    Can I stream or make YouTube videos of the Backer Build?

    Yes you can. We just ask that you make it clear that you're playing an "in-development" build.

    Does the Backer Build contain any of the campaign or strategic layer?

    Not at this point. The Backer Build is currently only tactical combat missions. We will be updating the Backer Build approximate once every 2 months with additional content. However, we wish to hold back much of the story and campaign elements so not to spoil the narrative before general release.

    Can I still get access to the Backer Build after it has released?

    Yes. Even after the build has gone live, our pre-order packages will still contain access to it.

    How long will the Backer Build last?

    We haven't currently set an end date for the Backer Build. We will continue to add new content until close to release. If this changes we will make an announcement in good time.

    Why doesn't XYZ work like this? / Why haven't you implemented XYZ?

    The Backer Build is still a very small portion of the overall game. Many mechanics, abilities and features have yet to be added at this stage. Nothing in the Backer Build should be considered as the final version. If you wish to talk about detail of specific design choices, we've provided a handy feedback section on our forums.
