			== What is WalkScape? ==
			: WalkScape is an RPG game inspired by RuneScape and other MMORPGs. However, it has one glaring difference: you don't play it actively. Instead, you gain progress by walking in real life. The game has a massive open-world map with over a hundred locations for the player to explore. The world is filled with lore, NPCs, quests, and activities for the player to engage in, and more! Our goal with the game is to encourage an active lifestyle and promote both mental and physical health.

	==App Related==		==App Related==

	====== ~~What~~ is the ~~release date for~~ WalkScape? ======		====== How can I get the game? ======
			: WalkScape is in closed beta, which means you need to be invited to play. We invite players who have filled out an application as we need new testers. The queue times vary, but most players get an invite after a few months. You are guaranteed an instant invite to the game if you have supported the project on [https://www.patreon.com/WalkScape Patreon] or [https://buymeacoffee.com/walkscape Buy Me a Coffee].

			====== When will the game leave closed beta status? ======
	: The Closed Beta Test is currently ongoing. WalkScape plans to leave closed beta once we have the following missing features:		: The Closed Beta Test is currently ongoing. WalkScape plans to leave closed beta once we have the following missing features:

	* Combat		* Combat
	No earlier than Q4 ~~2025.~~		No earlier than Q4 2026.

	~~====== How do I sign-up for the Closed Beta? ======~~
	: If you are interested in participating in the closed beta test, make an account on the [https://portal.walkscape.app/ WalkScape Portal], then apply through your account for a chance of being selected as a participant in an upcoming wave. You can guarantee a spot in the next wave by supporting WalkScape via [https://www.patreon.com/WalkScape Patreon] or [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/walkscape Buy Me A Coffee] in any amount for just one payment.

	~~====== Do I keep access to the game after the wave ends? ======~~
	: Yes. The invite waves are when more people are accepted into the closed beta, and they can keep playing after the wave ends. If a wave is currently not ongoing, new players wanting to join will have to wait for the next one.

	====== How will the game register that a player walks? ======		====== How will the game register that a player walks? ======
	: The game uses your device's step sensor data. Each modern phone these days track your steps automatically, and the game currently uses that data to determine how many steps you've gained. Currently iOS can use Apple ~~Heathly~~ to utilize their smart watches as an alternative option. ~~Later on, it is planned to also include~~ Android with ~~Google Fit~~. This way, smart watches are also something you could use to gain steps in-game and are a top priority to get working further.		: The game uses your device's step sensor data.

			====== What is the future monetization strategy of the game? ======
			: '''Offline mode''' - One time purchase. You’ll be able to pay once to download the offline mode of the game. You’ll receive future content updates, not have a requirement to be online to open the game, and have a slider that multiplies your steps to reach the game experience that you wish. No multiplayer features.

			: '''Online mode''' - affordable monthly subscription. You’ll need to be online to play the game, but you’ll receive future content updates and all multiplayer features that the game has to offer.

			: '''Free to play area''' - both forms of the game will have a free to play area that can be enjoyed for free.

			====== I've got a new phone, how can I transfer my progress? ======
			: By default, your characters and progress are saved to the cloud, but it's a good idea to check that your progress is saved before moving over. Playing the game on two devices is also against the rules, so to make sure that you're not flagged by anti-cheat, you should delete the game on your old device, before opening it on the new one. Here are the steps to do that:

			# Open the game on your old device. If you head over to the leaderboards and your stats match the ones on your skill screen, you know that progress has been saved to the cloud.
			# Close the game and uninstall it.
			# Install the game on the new device using the same instructions as before. Login with your Portal credentials.

			: ''Note: iOS and some Android distributions provide automatic app transfers, but WalkScape isn't yet compatible with these and will require a reinstall in most cases.''

			====== How often do I need to open the game to not lose steps? ======
			: A good rule of thumb is to open the game '''every 7 days'''. Depending on your platform, step source (wearable vs phone) and other factors beyond our control, steps can be loaded from 10-30 days in the past, but these can vary. Opening the game once every week should prevent you from losing any steps, though.
