Climbing Mountains

Dear Backers,
Developing a game sometimes feels like climbing a mountain. It's both rewarding and exhausting at the same time. While most days feel like a steady hike in the sun, every now and then, you hit a patch of rocky terrain that slows you down just a bit.
One of these unexpected turns are the tariffs that affect our strategy for the physical rewards. While this will not have any impact on the cargo and delivery for you, for us it means that we need to slightly adjust the route and that the survey will arrive later than expected.
Bad weather can’t prevent us from reaching the top!
Alpha Playtest Feedback
We hope you are enjoying the Alpha Playtest and as promised we will have updates and fixes to improve the experience and get as much feedback and ideas from you as possible :)
If you haven't found time to participate in our Alpha Playtest yet, it will last for several more weeks and we would love to welcome you to 13th century Mongolia!
If you want to give us feedback or discuss certain topics the right place is definitely our Discord:
Want to report a bug? Please use our official in-game bug reporter by pressing F1.

Direct Contact
In case you are still having issues with accessing the Alpha playtest, please contact us directly via Kickstarter. Just send us a message and we will help you!
Trello Board
Make sure to check out our Trello Board to see the official Development Roadmap: Where do we stand in development? What features are planned and when? An FAQ section and the ability to vote for various things round up the experience:
As stated above, due to the challenging situation of tariffs, the planned BackerKit Survey will be delayed once again until June/July. No need to worry, this will not affect your rewards in any way, we simply allow ourselves more time to set things up properly.

Dear Backers,
We have fantastic news for you!!! We just got the greenlight from Steam and this means…
The Alpha Playtest starts TOMORROW
Yes, the backer-exclusive Alpha Playtest will start tomorrow, Thursday the 15th of May 2025 around 11 a.m. CEST!
All of our Backers can join the Alpha Playtest and it will be available for a limited time.
We hope you will enjoy a sneak peek of what we are working on. This is a very rare opportunity to experience a game so early in development! The Playtest is by no means representative of the final game, but as we are creating the game we are looking forward to your honest thoughts and valuable feedback :)
Tomorrow!
Check your Inbox tomorrow
You will get an email from us tomorrow, Thursday the 15th of May 2025 around 11 a.m. CEST to the email address of your Kickstarter account.
Important: Above email is just for technical reasons. We cannot reply to it. So, if you have any questions or comments please stick to Kickstarter and Discord!
Also, please make sure to check your Spam folder, just in case you don’t receive anything.
The email you get will include a link to the Wallpapers, explain how the Exclusive Discord Role can be claimed and it will also give you the Steam Key for the Alpha Playtest once you have signed the according NDA (Non-disclosure agreement).
Please note that you are required to sign this NDA in order to receive the key and that the Alpha Playtest key is not connected to the Early Access in Summer 2025 in any way.
This will all be explained further in the email and we really tried to make the process as convenient for your as possible.
Why an NDA? Because the Alpha that you will get to play is a very early version of Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori, an exciting opportunity to get a first look at a game in development and thus it is not allowed to take any videos or pictures of the Alpha Playtest! Please check the NDA for the full explanation on this topic. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Alpha Playtest Content vs. Early Access
Please note the following:
The Alpha Playtest will feature English text only.
It is available to all backers via Steam only.
The Alpha Playtest features advanced CCC (Camera, Character, Controls), horse riding and on foot exploration, different biomes, weather changes, basic crafting, tutorial quests, a Mongolian settlement and a first iteration of our breeding mechanic.
Hunting and Archery for example are not yet included but they will be ready when we go into Early Accessin Summer 2025 (Steam and Epic Games Store) that will be, contrary to our backer-exclusive Alpha Playtest, available to the public!

Additionally, you can simply comment below in this update!
As mentioned above, you will receive your Exclusive Discord Role together with the Wallpapers and the Steam Key for the Alpha Playtest in tomorrow’s email.
In case you are not on Discord yet, it is free, it is where we dig deep into all Windstorm: The Legend of Khiimori and it can be easily installed like this:
As presented in our LIVE Stream yesterday, we will have a Trello Board for our Development Roadmap!
You will be able to see where we stand in development, what features are already implemented or yet to come, there will be an FAQ section and you will even be able to vote for various things.
The link to the Trello Roadmap will also be in the email that we will send out tomorrow!
And just in case you missed it, here is the link to yesterday's LIVE Stream:
