TestNet Phase 3 - Launches SOON

Adalians: are you ready to see what lies beneath the surface of your new home? Mining asteroids starts soon!

Jan 12, 2023

Test-to-Earn Phase 3 is almost here and we’re excited for you to dive in. For the first time ever you will be able to play some of the initial features of Influence such as: core sample land to uncover mineral deposits, build extractors, and transfer materials between warehouses.

With that in mind, please remember that this is an early release of limited playable features, and we expect to encounter some minor bugs and potentially some slowness, so please be patient and ensure you follow the help guides and tutorials if needed.

Additionally, this is a powerful tool for the team to be able to garner valuable feedback from all game testers. This is why we have incentivized game testing and will provide rewards to users for completing actions in the form of “quests” within Influence. While playing you will be able to chat with the team in Discord and give us direct feedback, report bugs, get help, and make suggestions. After all, this is a game for you and we want to make sure it works properly and is an experience that you will love. So get ready to have some fun!

When will Test-to-Earn Phase 3 happen?

Launch date is set for January 25th.

How long will it last?

The event ends when the global cap on rewards is met, however, all features released will remain open. This means even if you don’t complete all of the “quests”, you can still play around with the features contained within the Influence test client.

How to participate?

You can access the test client HERE. (Client is open now, but A LOT of new features will not be available until the 25th).

Prior to January 25th we will send out another announcement that contains a complete “getting started” guide. This guide will contain everything you need to start playing, from account creation to completing quests. Additionally, there will be video guides for all of the new features available on our Youtube channel before the launch.

Content Creator Competition

Influence is a challenging space strategy MMO, and in order to ensure we can support the growing player base we need you. During TestNet Phase 3 we will be hosting a content creator competition to encourage the community to create tutorials, reviews, game play trailers, and guides so that we can help spread Influence and make it easier for others to participate.

Those who participate will have a chance to win some awesome prizes. Additionally, all participants who submit and share content during the competition will gain access to our exclusive creator channel in the Influence Discord. This channel will be the hub for community creators to be able to share with each other, ask questions to the team, gain access to our head of community and partnerships to help them curate any future content, and learn about upcoming events.

You can find out details about what’s required and how to participate in next week’s update.
