Staying on the planet for longer than that is bad for your health.<\/p>\n<p><b>When does the Closed Alpha start?<\/b><br \/>\nIn the next few weeks. We currently feature complete for Alpha and busy wrapping up final testing.<\/p>\n<p><b>How many players during a match?<\/b><br \/>\n20 players and lots more alien monsters, plus some cute Fortuna III native wildlife.<\/p>\n<p><b>What platforms will it be released on?<\/b><br \/>\nInitially only on PC, but we plan to bring it to consoles at a later date.<\/p>\n<p><b>Will it be on Steam?<\/b><br \/>\nIt certainly will be. The Alpha Test build is already on Steam and the game page will be live soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How long have you been working on it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We started prototyping last year, but development started fully at the beginning of this year.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re aching to get our hands on the game, and it definitely\u00a0sounds like a very interesting concept. We&#8217;re unsure at the moment when the game will be heading to Steam exactly, but the developers have promised that it will be up soon.<\/p>\n<p>You can sign-up for the <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;v=-pdVxPGZ9T4&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fthecycle.game&amp;redir_token=0BBMlpjVlzgzsVMQXLnT6dYCJ8x8MTUzMjE2NjcwNEAxNTMyMDgwMzA0\">here<\/a>.
