- What is the release date for WalkScape?
- The Closed Beta Test is currently ongoing. Open Beta could release late this year. While full release isn't thought to be until 2025+.
- 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 portal: https://portal.walkscape.app/ 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 Patreon or Buy Me A Coffee in any amount for just one payment.
- 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. Later on, it is planned to also include syncing with Apple Health and Google Fit so that smart watches are also something you could use to gain steps in-game and are a top priority to get implemented. SMART WATCHES ARE NOT CURRENTLY SUPPORTED IN ANY CAPACITY
- Will there be a bike mode?
- The Devs have talked about this internally, and they are totally for this idea eventually. Conversion rate would still be made so cycling or other activities are not superior to walking.
- What type of activities will Walkscape include?
- Walkscape will include skill activities like woodcutting, fishing, and farming, which require users to travel to different locations and complete tasks such as cutting trees or fishing, and each task will cost a set amount of steps.
- On what platforms will Walkscape be released?
- Walkscape will be available on Android and iOS platforms.
- Are you guys in search of translators?
- The Devs will be asking for translation help when they have enough text to translate and there will be announcements both on Discord and on Reddit. Most likely it will be crowdsourced, because as a small team it would be quite a lot of organizing to make it any other way.
