Autumn's Leaves Alpha Test

I am happy to announce that the Autumn’s Leaves Alpha test will start on Friday, September 25, 2026 at 2:30 PM CST (8:30 PM UTC). This test includes a myriad of massive new features.

Entire new card game
Ship to ship PvX combat
Massively improved visuals (Lighting, texture work, etc)
Improved UI
Spell leveling
Living items (item leveling)
Tons of new content! The world is about twice as large now, with nearly twice as many items and enemies. There are many new quests and entirely new systems! The starting towns have also been completely reworked.

One major change is to player sprites. You will notice all new and original player art, drawn by several incredibly talented artists. On that note, I am still actively commissioning artwork for equipment, so as the Alpha test progresses you will see more and more unique art for each piece of armor. For now, there are only a few different unique art pieces for equipment.

$100 Leveling Contest for Streamers and YouTubers

Additionally, I am announcing a $100 reward to the first player to reach level 70 while live streaming or uploading gameplay footage to YouTube. You must stream or record at least 50% of your leveling journey to be eligible.

Open to legal residents of the 50 United States (and D.C.), Canada, Europe/United Kingdom, and countries within South America where skill-based gaming promotions are legally permitted. Entrants must be 18 years of age or older at the time of entry. Void where prohibited, taxed, or restricted by local law.
