It's The Last Day Of Alpha Testing!
It's been a long journey, Adventurers, but the moment is finally here: Tonight at 11:59 SST, Santae's Alpha Testing phase will officially end.
Santae has grown and changed so much since we started this Adventure together in May, and you have been vital to every part of it. You've befriended loyal pets, curated beautiful galleries, started successful shops, discovered some of the magical secrets of Santae's world -- and so much more!
Your hours of adventures and your insightful, creative feedback have helped the staff team shape Santae's future and ensure that our next steps are even more magical than the last. Santae will soon close for a couple of days while we prepare new and improved features for the Beta Test. But for right now -- it's time to Celebrate!
The Celebratory Celestraptor Is Here!
Yesterday you got your first glimpse of the Celestraptor, a brand-new celebratory Minimal. Today, this adorable miniature dinosaur is back especially to celebrate the successful end of the official Santae Kickstarter!
An entire herd of celebrating Celestraptors is on the move today. Silvershade has spotted them all over Valaria and Aleriea! Visit their Ranch to start Herding and tame your very own Celestraptor before they move on. Can you collect every variety of these sweet dinosaur companions?
Prizes Galore! Our Thank You To The Community
The festivities celebrating a successful end to our amazing Alpha Test will be going on all day long today! Keep an eye on your SanMail as you, Gather, Fish, Herd, quest, and explore today -- an assortment of exciting random prizes will be heading your way!
These gifts are our thanks to you for being an irreplaceable part of the start of Santae's story. Our community is what made the Alpha Test such a huge success, and we're looking forward to welcoming you back in the Beta Test and beyond! You all have made this journey something truly special.
