Free Alpha Demo & Exclusive Wishlist Items Continue! + Festival Summary

Greetings Respondrs!

The Spring Festival is now a wrap! Thanks so much for checking out the game!

Free Alpha Demo & Wishlist Exclusive Items Continue

Just because the event ended, it doesn’t mean we have to stop giving out free stuff. We’ll leave the alpha demo up at least the rest of the week since a lot of people are staying home to help flatten the curve [Warning: Multiplayer may still not work for some]. If you wishlist the game, we’ll continue to mark you down for the exclusive hat and jacket when the game releases.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1062830/Embr/

Here’s how to get the the exclusive stuff:

1. Wishlist Embr on Steam

2. Join the Embr Respondrs Group on Steam

3. Stay in the Embr Respondrs Group to get your FAX Outfit key when Embr releases later this year!

In the meantime, if you want to follow our progress, please feel free to join our
Discord.

Alpha Demo Summary

Thanks to everyone who checked out the alpha demo! And here are some stats:

Downloads: 9,509 Median Play Time: 17min Daily Active Users: 1485 Top 10 Places where people downloaded the alpha demo: China, USA, Romania, Russia, Canada, Germany, UK, Brazil, Poland, Taiwan

On the bug front, the in-game bug reporting feature was used 139 times, for a report rate of 1.5%. While some people just used it to say hi or tell us to subscribe to people’s streams or Youtube, some other people did encounter bugs of varying severity. There were 11 unique bugs, and the most severe are a few that are multiplayer related. Here are all the bugs people found:

• Level doesn’t load, but stupid ads do. When playing multiplayer as a joining player, one can get stuck in loading screens. For some players, the level would load, but the loading screen would stay on, blocking view unless they hit ESC.

• Falling through the ground (As a joining player in multiplayer when level starts).

• No LAN Party. Trouble connecting in LAN when playing multiplayer.

• Stuck together. Players stuck together when loading into a multiplayer mission.

• Stuck at mission end.

• Stuck in a staircase.

• Hose and water disappeared.

• Launching into orbit (from top of cars), and landing outside of the level, dead.

• Electrocuting the screen. Graphical glitches caused by electricity in game.

• Silent Movie. No SFX for joining players in multiplayer missions.

• Monet Mode. Possible camera texture leak causing some asset models to turn psychedelic.

Thanks so much everyone for putting up with and reporting the bugs. And thanks a ton for giving us awesome feedback! We’ll get these bugs fixed up asap. We’ll have updated builds and regular test sessions leading up to Early Access. If you didn’t get a chance to play last week because of the bug(s), please feel free to join our Discord. We’ll get you into the game.

Thanks again everyone! Stay safe.
