The way is shut. It was made by those who are devs, and the devs keep it. Excuse our punny spin on the famous lord of the rings quote, but it's fairly accurate! Alpha Release 3 is now finished and our servers have been taken offline, so let's dive into what our awesome community thought of this release... We had the pleasure of inviting 10,000 players into this release, and one of the areas we really didn't expect players to lean into, was building their dream homes (we have yet to put roofs into the game). It blew us away and actually led us into a new game mode we plan to showcase in Alpha Release 5.

Some feedback snippets from players...

"I can't wait to play again, I always have fun playing the game and talking to friends about the game.'' - Felippe
"I thoroughly enjoyed playing the Moonfrost game. I would like to suggest a new item: a multi-crop watering hose. A tool like a 'super hose sprinkler' that can water several crops at once would be a fantastic addition, especially for game players managing large farms, apart from the current watering can. Also, just like how I can synthesize new items from ingredients like blueberries or sunflowers, it would be great if there were tasks allowing players to combine crops stored in the warehouse to create new items apart from just selling them.'' -Jieun
"Congratulations on creating the game, it's beautiful. I hope they create movement possibilities, like bicycles, scooters or something similar, so that the speed also adjusts with the item, it would be fun!'' - Graziela

We look forward to our next Alpha Release coming in less than 3 WEEKS! There's still time to get a spot in the next closed alpha release called Farm Royale and we'd love it if you add Moonfrost to your Wishlist on Epic Games.
