I decided to make this test fully available to everyone
I copy letter which I wrote to guys, who sent me a letter here

Hello, everyone!

Link to download at the bottom of message, but read it first :)

Public pre-alpha is launched and server online

For now it work on my home media server and can sometime work not very well, please be patient

I'll be available via email and skype (find me by 'rsklnkv')

I want to inform again (sorry for CAPS) :)  :

THIS IS PUBLIC PRE-PRE-ALPHA :)

this is not even a alpha, and not a beta

* for now i have a plan to add 'Clans' and 'Mobs' in nearest future, i will make a Vote on my blog to decide what to do first

For now server is launched with very small world on it (only 4x4 hexes)

This is only for test purpose, server can handle 1million+ hexes :)

So instructions:

0. start configurator.exe to set options and then start game.exe

1. you can use any login/password combination to register (account will be created automatically), but remember it to continue play in future :)

2. set preffered graphics options in options window (press esc in game) - on my laptop (core2duo & 8800gts high quality shadows works well - make experiments :))

3. inventory&craft tab can be opened by Tab key (you can find Recipe list there too, just click on item name to get recipe preview in craft window)

4. to chat press Enter and type message (only English language supported in chat)

Small info about game:

You can't capture Hex if it already captured by other player

You must protect your Hex from other players till you offline (build Cannons)

You can kill&loot other players (so be carefull)

On neutral Hex every player can gather and build (but don't build Cannons - they become neutral creatures\monsters and kill everyone on this Hex)
