đ Early Access Player Rewards â Claim Your Exclusive Bonuses!
For those who havenât heard yet, weâve been running a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the final push toward launching Alterium Shift this year. This includes the physical editions so many players have been asking for!
From the very beginning, we knew we wanted to reward those who supported us in Early Accessâlong before we ever launched this Kickstarter. It took us some time to figure out the best way to handle this, particularly with verifying game ownership, but now we have a solution!
If you purchased Alterium Shift in Early Access before or during the Kickstarter campaign, you can now verify your ownership using the form below. Once confirmed, you'll be added to our fulfillment list to receive your rewards around game launch time.
Rewards are only available to players who owned the game before Kickstarter Steam key fulfillment (post-campaign).
Ownership date will be verified through Steam.
Early Access Player Rewards đ
To show our appreciation, hereâs what Early Access players will receive:
â Exclusive Digital Rewards (Details coming soon!) â New Desktop Backgrounds (Classic & New Key Art) â Character Postcard Collection (Atlas, Pyra, and Sage) â Early OST Music Collection (Our original tracks before bringing on Jonathan Shaw!) â Special Printable Poster Featuring Key Art (digital)
Additionally, if you own the game and back the Kickstarter, youâll gain access to Kickstarter VIP reward perks, which include free digital add-ons and exclusive bonuses at each tier.
Weâll also be offering an alternative to receiving an additional game key during fulfillment. More details will be shared after the campaign!

Weâve always wanted to find the best way to thank those who supported us from the start. We also recognize that we could have done a better job communicating our plans earlier, and weâre committed to improving how and when we share updates going forward.
For those who have stuck with us so far, we truly appreciate your support. We hope these added rewards show our gratitude!

Minor Update 1.4.2
Update
This release features a change to Pyraâs first mission. Weâve heard the feedback that the intro feels slow and has too many âfetch quests.â While we intended this as a way to underscore the annoyance it would cause Pyra, it ended up annoying our players.
To address this, the Mayor will only give Pyra one of the following quests:
Deliver letters to plains guards
See Clay for his delegated tasks
Visit Sage to do their tasks
We hope this will make Pyraâs storyline feel less laborious in the beginning so players can get to the action sooner. Enjoy!

When cloud saves are enabled, the bestiary data does not properly update over time due to an issue with how the persistent store is loaded and stored in the cloud vs. on the computer
The bestiary data will update appropriately when cloud saves are disabled.
We are working on a fix to correct this and ensure the persistent storage updates appropriately to the current cloud save settings.
