We are glad to announce a new Alpha of PSUnreal is available! It is the second Unreal Alpha release after the one of May, and there are a lot of new features and fixes.
This release is open to all Patreons (https://www.patreon.com/planeshift)and to all veteran players of the previous game (200+ hours of gameplay). Thanks to all the ones who are supporting us and cheering for us! Your support is very welcome and is actually what makes us continue in this incredible journey through the years.
In this new Alpha we improved movement, now characters can overcome obstacles by climbing low walls and fences. A new village has been added to the outdoors, added new trees, plants, buildings. Many code fixes for stability, improved interaction with objects and NPC, added ability to sit on ground and on chairs.
The main purpose of this second Alpha is to have a limited number of people testing it to discover critical bugs. This Alpha release has these main objectives:
- Catch the critical bugs which are crashing the server to ensure stability for the next phases of testing
- Test performances with multiple players connected
- Test performances on different hardware
All three platforms are available: Windows, Linux and Mac.
All the bugs are tracked on our Flyspray (http://hydlaaplaza.com/PlaneShift/flyspray/), where you can register and add your findings. You can report crashes and other in game bugs. You will also probably find many missing features comparing this version to the original version of the game. On these ones please do not report yet in Flyspray, we are aware of what is missing and will be added in future releases.
If you are a Patreon you will find the download link on the website directly, if you are a veteran player contact us on Discord (https://discord.gg/49n2ySW)to get access.

Same login as for the game. Have fun with it!
I still have two or three very busy weeks, and then will give it a go.
Awesome work!!! Thanks to all!

Running around that new village is a lot of fun. It looks great, and it shows off some of what will be present in the rest of the game world like opening doors and swimming.

I suggest always recommending the HTTPS URL:
https://planeshift.teamix.org/myplane/ (https://planeshift.teamix.org/myplane/)
This way passwords are transferred with TLS encryption to the server.
I'd love to make HTTPS mandatory, but last time I tried that, the main game website https://planeshift.it (https://planeshift.it) broke – probably due to still relying on HTTP to retrieve some content from planeshift.teamix.org. I hope that after Unreal port is completed, there is time to improve the infrastructure around PS.
