soo we all can hope to become a key. Too Play the nice Game Crosswind...
@lofty basinHello, can I access your game via discord?
the game looks amazing. hyped for the full release.
Steam only.
and i am just a little moderator ^^
🙂
german spotted ^^
Ohnoh😳
haha. some things are just something germans would write. i.e "to become a key"
Ye i know. I live way to close to the german border xD. You can instantly find out when someone is german
I really want to play your game!! I want a key too!!
oh cool i didn't know you can click "play" at the thumbnail of the steam preview link and watch trailer directly on discord
Welcome to thw world of embedding
Mornin bambino! Still tired from yesterday xD?
Howdy! Nah, far from being tired, we've been waiting for this very moment for so long 💙
bambino is never tired
Speak for yourself lol! 😄
Great to hear, release days are long days…
24hours of spa is nothing 48hours of crosswind 🤣
Little? That's cute
No patreon either?
Nope
😂
currently all you can donate is your soul
If you order pizza for the whole dev team (including me coughcough) maybe you'll get a key? 🫣👀🫣👀🫣👀🫣👀
Thuisbezorgd
reported for scam
||jk||
another dev team said if you arived with a beer at their HQ you would get a key.
can i donate it for some earmuffs
No idea who said that but if it were true, I’d respect that

not for this game though.
Bier en pizza 🫡
Aw damn. Which one?
||jumpship||

Oh fr? I’m so excited for that game. Their playtest was awesome
Imagine. Takin a Heineken to hq. “I would like it from another company”
Also good morning all!
Mornin jeezee!
JeeZee my man!
Hope you had a good rest
Here’s hoping today is a lil easier
There is any way to get a key? Iam on my holidays and I really wanna try this gameee I just need to wait right? they are keeping sending keys?
yup it was before the open playtest, no one did tho (or they never said anyone did it) but they did say and when ppl asked confirmed it was true. arive with beer for the dev team and you would get a key.
keys are being send throughout the next month.
They try to let as many people in as possible. But with the sheer amount of people that have signed up, it is not possible to ensure access to everyone.
it will be. i expect some mild revolts around late midday. but then smooth sailing.
Crosswind forecasts
Windy, rainy and sun in between
Sounds like Scotland 😂
WAYHEY
nice! Enjoy
Congrats sir
gym first i guess, the one time ya dont wanna go haha
Wouldn’t be home if it werent raining on a daily basis
oh.. only 9gb so very small 😦
ok
i could properly say that many of the games filling 100gb if you remove all the textures would also only fill around 5 to 10 gb
Hi! Is there a way to get a playtest key?
request on steam and be lucky
How to get into playtest?
i habe gmail open and waiting for the Wonder xD
Honestly it’s better to keep an eye on your steam library. It’ll have the game before the email arrives
look at pinned or if unable #💬│windrose-chat message
is this playtest still open to registration?
yes
steam page still the best way to go?
correct
Best of luck for the next wave, finger crossed!
mines taking 10 business days to install 🫠
you running dial up?
crap internet so it may aswell be lol
Ahoy
Ahoi !!
is coop unavailable in the alpha or do u get acces to it at a certain point?
once you leave the tutorial area you should be able to access coop through the main menu
thank u for the quick reply!
Man I never get into the alphas anymore :(
Invites will be send over the next few weeks.
Not getting access yet, does not mean you don't get it in the future.
They are trying their best to enable as many people as possible to test their game.
I have one question regarding the contest winners. Is it the same for them as for those who registered through the steam page?
P a t i e n c e
I'm alpha testing a new flavour of lemon? Would you care to be the first to try?
We'll contact you directly on Steam - wait for the friend invite from me or @sudden tartan (and please don't block us, otherwise we won't be able to deliver the key to you 😦 )
this game looks super stable and full of content on streams I've watched, I'm hyped af rn
thank you ill be patient now :)
Good stuff.
Can you notify us when you invite new testers and content creators? Just to know when to look at our mails!
steam will notify you before you get an email if you get accepted
that would probably be a bit too much constantly.
But yeah, steam will notify you via email should you get invited
I mean, new waves and we're not always in front of our PC or at work
meh, another game that we will wait like 6 months for a key. cya
no i mean steam will have a pop up (on steam) saying you got invited.
its not really big batches of waves but more like a slow increase of invites throughout the day.
Right, so Ive requested it, savvy? The Alpha Test. I want in. Seems like the sort of chaos that calls for a Captain. Namely… me.
finger crossed you get picked
Cross my tip toes
i hope everyone who comes in here and chats nicely gets in! yall deserve it for being amazing. SO my fingers are crossed as well
Valheim with pirates is like a good dream.
I see
Please make a mission with a jar of dirt!
how many people have they actually given keys to in total?
if we know roughly that is
1500 at the beginning of the day. so i assume the rate is around 60 per hour.
ah ok
ive not had chance to play yet but im hoping everything still working when i do haha
let me in brooo
and big pint of vine too!
Where's the rum gone?
where's the gin gone?
A real pirate doesn't drink gin.
a privateer does.
Keys pls xD
Just don't touch my rum
dont worry as a privateer i am to hang you for piracy by next dawn
to the plank with ye
nono i have the VOC fleet with me.
I am the best pirate aye.
Nobody can stop me
Unless you have a good bottle of rum
Still no key ehh
i have gin
1500 invited but only 60 playing? 😭
Yall wild
not unusual.
another game had invited similar amount of players and had the same number of current players,
once they went open, over 50k players joined.
Should I try the content creator survey again lol
if it was open I'd say yes
Probably closed but worth a try lol
how's the combat is it flawless like BDO? xD
or is it like tera
It's more like Valheim I'd say
yikes
no that would be press 1 wait 5 seconds press 1 wait 5 seconds press 1 wait 5 seconds.
so fun much wow real engage.
You are just bad at valheim then
Sorry, thought you disrespected valheim!
it is a bit flat. (combat) but it doesn't need that much depth (it has enough for what the game is)
Im not gonna eat or drink until i get access to the game
thats not the best idea ive heard today
i've been drinking a gin an tonic each hour (took a break when i slept)
till i get one
gotta do what I gotta do
im almost out of gin
What about streaming for another 11 hours straight while rinning on 4 hours of sleep?
thats... better
lol
No sleeping too
Aloha Pirates, one advice for u drunk pirates
we are from BRASIL and we will conquers this seas..
this is my advice... better not cross our path.
Barh the VOC will sink you
I want to see if you can talk underwater... hahaha
lewl im not gonna sail. im gonna be on land sending out fleets.
i just need to get promoted
There is no honor for those who have sand on their feet... don't worry, I will sink one by one until they take you and this island of yours will be mine too.
There is a reason why i am on land. to give the people on the sea a fair chance.
i am not on land cause i want to, i am on land cause you need me to.
Anyone else waiting for alpha access
no, just you
lol
😦
damn
That’s rough
do we know approximate amounts of people that are being allowed access to alpha?
Would be interesting to know my chances. 😄
1500 🙂
ah. yeah. u right.
Hopefully they allow more.
Hey guys, it is dynamic. It's not a fixed number
there is no set amount of invites that are send out.
they will be slowly increased over time dependent on how the servers do.
so between 1 and 200 000.
For example, we send 1500 invites, 300 of them play, but they play at different time, then they churn out
then we add mor
etc, etc
Pretty much this
i see. just gotta wait my turn haha
Imagine running 200k stable at the end of the month. Would be insane tho
I've heard that some content creator has key to be drawn in their stream. Might be another way to get in!
well, I am eager to play. Just recently I found the gem of Black sails Tv series, produced 2013-2017, boosts my interest even further. 😄
They be giving away a key on stream?
that sounds like they doing something fishy
Something like that yeah, not fishy, 100% exact
only fishy thing here is bambinos profile picture
I've also see some keys to be sold or steam account
I will no longer be making and selling rum, instead have my new signiture drink
now that i do believe is real.
games says 70 on steam? is this more like a super closed playtest? who even got aceess lol
oh gawd no.
What's wrong with my nut milk?
Link to DL the Alpha build? Steam page does not show a DL option.
Phuzzy just said he got 10 to giveaway, I don't think it's fishy I think it will help build hype!
there has been zero info from devs that they where giving content creators extra keys to giveaway.. how did they get those to begin with.
Geez, your nutmilk is not yummi at all!
I think your just jealous of those who can drink my nut milk
yeah...
yeah i am.
Disregard 😉
I thought if we signed up months ago and did the survey they had we would be in the Alpha tests
Knew it
will ther ebe more invites? i wishlisted ages ago and so on;( no invite to playtest
ill drin kyou nutmilk once a week if you let in /S
there is no download link
Yes there will be
I believe they said they will be rolling out more invites as they see what the player count is from the initial run of codes
pretty sure i remember a "guarantee" if we filled out their survey crap
300 Play now? Hmm
yes they are roughly giving out 60 new invites each hour. constantly
yes and if you weren't chosen then you dont have it
I signed up on three accounts for the dune awakening closed beta and not a single one got accepted lol
sigh then I m having really bad luck again 😭
“For example”
@sour moat i was in there i had the ultimate edition aand thanks god , i gave it back ^^
300 of them play, but they play at different time
bout to finish DL'n this mf'r right now

There will be a lot more. Just slowly rolling out over time
Wont be ingame today either, time to go to LinkPark within a few hours🥹
yeah right all time peak is 72 not 300 xD
yo send me your info i can play for you (no dont)
do you even know how numbers work?
Gonna put some time in before work. Good to be the boss.
There are 1500 invites send this afternoon allready?
id fight in a tournament for alpha access
do you understand what "300 people playing at different times" means? It's 300 people logging in during different time periods, meaning there were not 300 people on at the same time but 300 total across the entire time the Alpha test has been live
3 games im waiting for: crosswind, hunger and arc raiders^^
some people refuse to think
1500 has already been invited, and they been giving out 60 new invites each hour..
not all invitees play at the same time and not all do redeem it.
Plus people from all over the world got invited, while EU plays, NA is sleepin
It doesn't matter if you can read, a maximum of 72 people have logged into the game in the last week
another game invited around 2k players for their test, it peaked at around 80 current players.
when they went open beta they had over 50k current players.
all i need is lot of decvoration and building options and I am a happy old woman ^^
its not maximum of 72, it's 72 player peak, do you even understand the chart you are sending?
I maximum of 72 have logged into the game “at once” 20min ago, thats what its telling us
yes, not that 72 total played the game overall
this number was 60 yesterday, it will keep increasing as devs are gradually sending out more keys
Once we’re going over 500 im curious what the servers going to do
the 32 that played 14hrs ago us most likely not part of the 72 that plays now so there is already 104 players.
This is exact where they are working towards…
if i wherea game dev i wouldn't even hold a beta, so you all had to wait till it was done.
To many entitled people to deal with.
then go do your thing, it's no ones fault you feel so entitled to play when this is the first non-NDA test and it's only been a little over a day, the test will last a month. They will keep rolling out more keyes and more people will be able to play, all you have to do is wait, it HAS NOT been that long
Has anybody else in NA made it to Tortuga yet? I want to attempt to see other players in Tortuga but I'm alone so far
no
bye
who said 100 man test?
Aww
Id like to drink some nutmilk tho
no one, this guy is just making up numbers because he is upset he cant play 1 game (nothing else to do apparently)
dude look at current players and think that is all that has been invited only. and no more will be invited.
is the whole game multiplayer? im still on my start island doing the start up quests and i assumed i was in singleplayer lmao
Good afternoon chat
Lively as ever i see
Are you NA?
EU…
T have you played yet ?
EUUEUUU
It is multiplayer yes, you can invite people to your island
Awwww
I agree
I’ve been having issues
That means we would miss eachother…
at different times. steam charts only shows current players not all players.
Yeah, iirc this test doesn't have cross region play yet
Yet👀
Yet as in not this test
how many people are on 1 server ?
Ah true, i did read it like u knew more than we do
Sorry didn't mean to give false hope
i wonder is this game gonna be more like ARK or like a mmorpg?
More like Valheim
or enshrouded
Hi there ✌️
I feel it's more Enshrouded and Black Flag (or Skull and Bones)
Maps and construction
quick remove snb before ppl leave.
I've never played enshrouded so I just try to compare to games I play
I was about to say...
just for naval combat 😛
I'm assuming if you got your key and no dl available on steam its not your time to be let in?
Skull and Bones is fine
It's enjoyable, nothing more
no it is not.
I played a lot of Skull and Bones, the name stands for what it is, only bones.
It's fine, never said great or ground breaking. It's fine
I just wanted an online pirate game. SnB is an online pirate game where you basically just play as your ship.
Barely any replayability, I left it after a few grind sessions.
if we talk about the game and looks, sure, it is fine.
use World of sea battle then (it has similar combat to snb too)
but I hope Crosswind can show us some greatness
Check out my feed, I'll prove to you it can
I have really high hopes here. ^_^ The devs seem -super- communicative, and they're taking it as slow as they need, which is a big positive in my eyes.
yup the replayability is low.
but the main quest was entertaining and i enjoyed the naval combat alot.
stream
Stream sorry, forgot the word for it for a min
I know I'll at least be watching a ton of gameplay, even if I can't get into the alpha.
is the name same as here?
where can i get a key?
request on steam, and be lucky
Yup
they been send roughly 60 invites each hour for the last day.
how is the endgame in valheim ?
what?
progression loop, milestones
eh point was lost due to lack of expression and tone in text.
Valheim is sandbox. so there is no real endgame.
just like minecraft have no endgame.
sure there is an end but
its not really an end.
It’s basically the better SnB
I dont think this is a correct answer. Minecraft specifically is a bit more open and its not that hard to aquire best gear but Valheim does have progression, multiple bosses you need to beat to unlock stuff, a very long process of gathering things. Yes you can keep on just building but overall you do need to progress to access some stuff
but I can't really answer this myself because I haven't reached it lol
Hello everyone, is there a way to get a key?
yeah but again once you reach it, then what.
the progression is not the end game it is what is left once you progressed.
turn up your luck
yes, first you need to sign up for access on the game's page on Steam, then you need to wait and get lucky, they are very slowly giving out more keys
it's random
Hello and good morning, is this the oficial discord for Corsswind?
yeah
Thaks 🙂
Ay Matey!
Just waiting patiently my key! ARRRR 🏴☠️
Same brother hope ya get urs soon 🙏🏼
Yarrr! Still waitin’ for HisaHisa to rise from the slumberin’ depths o’ Davy Jones’ Locker!
for this alpha, will we be testing PVP and Coop? Or its just like "single player" for testing purposes?
This test was to focus on the Survival portions of gameplay loops to be sure they all work as expected - Crafting, Building, Combat, Sailing, Exploration, etc.
From what I seen yesterday on streams it seems more co op based with optional PvP in the tortuga location I believe
yea this is true but still, at some point there will be a test for pvp specifically
this one is not it judging by the info
Worddd
I’d like to see how they go about that.. kinda just only limit world access to tortuga? Or maybe put an event on an event
Core Mechanics should be tested and fixed first, pvp will come along
Yeah definitely who said otherwise?
Hello! How long does the playtest last?
Jeezee what’s good ya gonna be streaming today?
A month I believe
I think they said 1 month yeah
Planned to be 4 weeks long aye
o/
Possibly. I still have a lot fo stuff to get done irl today. Im moving in about 2-3 days
expect bugs close to these 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfD4LINcq3g
Wishlist on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3041230/Crosswind/
Game development is hard, and very often things break in the process. The upside: you can have a good laugh about it. Well, if it happens before you release the game, at least. Have fun on this little behind‑the‑scenes voyage, while we squash as many bugs as we can for...
Nice congrats on the move!
Some of the bugs I seen in stream yesterday was @fast orchid screen slanted once he left a cave but some of those bugs would be hilarious not gonna lie
We love BUGS please dont fix kkkk
aqui é
hehe, but we are here to find them and let them fix it 😛
i will find you in the seas matte
They should keep one or two funny ones tho adds character 😂
Arrr! The Kraken o’ the depths’ll swallow ye whole ‘fore ye even lay eyes on me shipmate!
hi guys im new here, I would want to suggest Crosswind to play with my coworkers as team building, how many people can play at once?
I believe you can do 4 plays on a crew on crosswind
Players*
does the game autosave or do i have to manually press save somewhere (looking to exit the game but not sure if i have to save first or can just press exit to menu)
its always online
Side note- does anyone know if they did or think they devs should add a “add crew member” type action or something when running into players in the world that are also possibly running solo?
You mean instanced? Like layers?
at the moment each world can host up to 3 people.
thanks peeps!
Does Crosswind has an official Twitch channel?
Stilll no invite 🤦♂️
playcrosswinds
Just go my break, check my emails - mine is lost at sea - message in a bottle coming soon I hope
As it has been said here, many times. It is a slow process and still might day another couple of days
I’m a big believer of what will be will be
France: Quand est la sortie du jeu?
English: When is the game release?
It’ll come 🙏🏼
If some of don’t get access to alpha there will be loooooots of opportunity in future
Le jeu est en alpha, encore loin de la release officielle. La date est inconnue
Oh ik I just wish there was a way to give the people that are active in the discord access instead of sending 1.5 keys to a lot of people that won’t play because they don’t even use there pc lolololol
It happens with every game, people that don’t play the genre or new players on pc and steam see games with early access apply and some get accepted and never even launch the game it’s not just this game
Active or not, each person should have an equal opportunity to gain access, so they can see different perspectives on how to improve the game.
I’ve never seen so many reactions so quickly 😳
Fr lol
Tick the green check right?
Gimme!
Some even click the wrong one
ok ok ok iv traveled to this discord to see if i can get access to this awesome looking pirate game. is there still room in the alpha? or are my dreams going to be shot down
Let's get those keys! Woohooo! Thanks for doing another giveaway!
☠️
I’ll just have to hope Lady Luck is, in fact, with me for this giveaway, heh…
seriously though for a guy nicknamed Lucky I do not get good luck all that much
I stream a lot with 0 viewers does that make me a content creator?
Still room. Devs are letting people in slowly so as long as youve requested access on steam theres still a chance
ayyyee
any chance to still get access?
now how to get a key
Request & #│announcements
You stream and make videos? Then yes audience doesn’t define if you make content 🙏🏼
Only 3mins of that News post and already 250 people ticked! Golly! 😱
Technically, yes.
Well at the moment everyone has about maybe… 18% chance to get picked by my estimation
Hell yeah
I NEED TO PLAY THAT GAME
bot crashed lmao
Wait never mind wrong check mark
Question about testing, dont have a key but are there focus testing/reporting and ingame bug menu or all reported though bug forms/threads?
gl all
@torpid dirge I keep getting "This interaction failed"
Interaction failed nooooo
cant enter it fails also for me
When I tick the box.
That is wild lmao
Same

The box is not working
same
wait a bit and try again if it fails for you
interaction failed its joever
same
Pls cut him some slack 😄
I wanna plllaaaayyyyy
guess only for vip
Does that giveaway have some kind of criteria?
I think it’s because you’re already in as it’s blue?
bot is just overloading cuz too many are trying to click it at once
Wait a bit and try again
Let's go !
You may have already entered, thats what it told me
Cela signifie-t-il que vous pouvez déjà jouer au jeu, mais ce n'est pas encore tout à fait terminé ? Merci d'avance
im getting This interaction failed on giveaway bot
why interaction keep failing for me
same
It's because of the amount of people.
i see this as well, does that mean i am in the pool ? :p
Try again later.
probably to many clicking just wait a bit
wait just a little, you got 30 min guys
Nee, je moet een bericht krijgen er over.
try restarting Discord it worked for me 🙂
ahh good works now!
ah just wait until bot say you entered
Wrking now!
Already entered!!
yeah working now 🙂
KEYYYYYYYYYYYY PLOX!

Nice, have fun dutchie
the number keeps going up so while I assume it might show interaction failed, everyone whos clicked it is actually getting added as the counter keep going
27 mins to results
Having high end PC can test it on ultra max 4k win win 😄
Oh my
Goodluck everyone!
Seulement les quelques chanceux qui ont reçu une invitation pour tester l'alpha
Odds aren’t too bad one in 19.333333333
:)))))))))))))))))))
So far
oh noes 404, we need to call support?
5% to win
chances are very less.
Four oh four guys
Aha je comprends, merci pour l'aide!
I missed it again..?
BON chance !
It keeps saying interaction failed on the button
still open
oh videogame god bless me on this fine thursday morning
When I was at school 400 divided by 20 was 20
Merci, à toi aussi
Thank god, honestly just a chance is nice lol
Let’s gooo
yea im not keeping hopes up though if I get one I get one
-# more like 8% now
❤️
I'd imagine some people might open multiple discord account just to gain extra chance... 😛
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Will dance on video for access - just putting it out there - I’ll even put two eyepatches on
Yes, i have put 256 discord on it. Special plug in
you know what hes onto something
Ofc not
Nothing but a peg 🤣☠️
Only 1
I’d commit piracy in real life to get access… the naval variety, not the online one, I’m too bad at computers to figure that out anyway
how do i know if i got a key?
You’ll get an email from steam
I’m with ya there.
Granting you access to the latest
will ther be confetti
Yes a lot
Only if you kick your pc hard enough
And some rum
It can be arranged
bet
Gimme some Rum!
Going back to my previous offer of dancing I’ll raise the bar and I’ll wear my treasure island boxer shorts
no rum just a jar of dirt
Ah, believe me I would if I could. ALL of my booze is currently packed away for transport in a couple of days
honestly this is one of the few alpha early access games ive genuinely cared about I want this game to thrive and be the best it can be. Hoping the devs genuinely care about their game
this game could be huge
3.57% chance of winning 
i like those odds
If god is good I will win
Praise the lord
Aren't we Pirates?
Yarrrrghh
right?!
Lads lads
so your saying we should plunder the keys?
Enough jibber jabber, keep to the code
Yarrr
Aye
I see I have my crew right here then
Odds are now at a nice and neat 3.33% chance
Hack the server grant everyone access 😎
I am in school to be an ethical hacker lmao

What crew? On the bottom of the Sea? 🙂
If you win you get the code in discord DM?
Kidding clearlllyyyyy 👀
Thank you Crosswind Crew for the giveaway! 💕
Is an ethical hacker just like the digital equivalent of a locksmith picking someone’s lock to let them back in their house or something
Can be or finding bugs within companies softwares and stuff
does anyone here know that THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!!!
Imagine you win the giveaway and then it’s a prank and they say we’re disinclined to acquiesce to your request
I got a jar of dirt
All I’ve got is a dirty jar
Anyway odds are now at 3.2%
Because the dirt is gone
Hope to get in
Dirty jar better than no jar
Atleast you have something for dirt
At this rate we reach 1k
kinda lol mostly security and how to divert hacking but also you hack into the people you work for to find security leaks
it wasn't a real giveaway just a stunt to get more viewers. all winners are actors hired to say they got the key or someone who already had a key saying they got from teh giveaway.. it all a conspiracy wake up /s
Aw damn, You got us. WHOOPS
Cool stuff!
How much we paying..
My rate is 10000000 a scene I take that in cash app, PayPal and visa
I hope multicrew comes man
Good luck to all on invites~
yea its a tough course though just lots and lots and lots of numbers
I feel like everyone in this server would put jack sparrow as their spirit animal
Odds are down to 3.1% but it seems to be slowing down
hopefully
-# possibly
-# maybe
I remember pirates of the Caribbean online where you could get a crew of like 18 guys on 1 galleon was amazing
Id given up hope of getting in. Now I'm gonna be more gutted if I don't win the giveaway. I don't want false hope 😂
Insanity 🤣
I feel your pain… may the seas bless us both
Falcore (from SoT) is streaming Crosswind. I love this dude!
Here are the Keys! Now chase that dog!
I haven’t seen hype in a discord over a game like this in a solid min
well its a pirate game that looks like what everyone has always wanted from a pirate game
How i can Play the Test?
goodluck
Been watching people stream the game...looks AMAZING so far
Honestly that, and the way they are handling things. It’s like this server is a hype train

The announcement with the wrong tick box was a good bait
I realised 1 minute after the giveaway ended
Ah it was fun! Only few got the red pill.

BOARD THERE VESSELS LADS AND TAKE THEIR KEYS!!!!!!
okok sorry bro
All good
Iv got a 401k if anyone down to trade steam ids 😉
Oh wait, more giveaways today?
ill come back in a few months when they got their act together @eternal dome
XD
Here's to hoping to see another giveaway soon... 🍻
Remember guys future giveaways
Well, now that Bam has got the giveaway bot and we know it works great. I imagine there will be more as time goes on
gg
Yes! We love to see more people get hyped and then cry! I have to bring my popcorn.
Yes, it's just not possible to play the game.
I disagree. It very much is
Hmm how do I brag a bot to better my odds
drake i dont want to here it from you mister i got in lol
I agree
Best entertainment Iv had in months

A keyless pirate 💀
I’m gonna be away from my PC for a few days but would still love a key… something to look forward to when I get back
I have a couple of questions. After we have our build radius, do things respawn in that radius? Do things respawn after harvesting them. I placed my bonfire near some clay. After I mine the clay will it respawn?
Do our structures affect what is there before?
Give me your key
build radius? I was putting down the premade huts all over the place
RIP 😦 no key as always
Rock paper scissor ya for it
Gratz to the winners
Well, for 810 people, 20 keys is a chance 2% 😦
If everyone won it wouldn’t be a giveaway 😂
Which timezone is the mods in?
Just wanna know if i sleep untill next gaw
Hibernate tell January and you should be legit
👀
Dont wanna get fired....
Butttt, then i have all the time in the world to play the game
Pirate logic. I agree.
Who is gonna crack a bottle of rum when playing?
Work to afford game.. then game to avoid work. It’s simple logic.
If your crack a Morgan, you dont deserve the game
Is it unhealthy to stare at the bell on steam?
Iv stared at much worse.. 😬
How do we get access to the beta
Blink three times if your in danger
wait for another giveaway
cool the game its looks amazing want play 🙂
bruh i just realized I didn't win jackLMAO.... I'm sitting here waiting for a DM 
heyyyy i won
I hate you, congratz.. Still hate you
gratz
Gratz
we have some salty pirates
I reacted to the first message not knowing there was something after 😭
All the key winners having a sudden change of work plans
Ofc
I sail on the ocean everyday
yep
Not really. I cant skip linkin park
I don’t blame them I may be felling a lil sick if I win one.. lol
This is debatable..
Tickets were way to expensive to stay home
Crosswinds> band
Fair
I may miss my mates wedding if i win
Havent spoken to gf yesterday tho. Thats what the game did to me
Hi everyone, finally a pirate game that can make you want to spend hours and hours and become a good pirate. I hope this game becomes a gem. Thank you.
She should understand, if she doesn’t. Question her allegiance
Its a 1 in a million chance to stream such a game on releasedate. She totally unsterstood. Cooked dinner and gave me drinks while streaming and ignoring her
Honestly
That’s marriage material
I wish I could spend hours and hours to play, but I'm the one who taking care of my child. So I usually sacrifice my sleep time to time.
Dont tell her i do agree okay?
Could sacrifice the child too.. js
Our secret boo 😉
I like your dark humor, you remind of my Brother 🙂
One thing I don’t lack
Marriage means i need money to use on the marriage instead of buy useless stuff
Exept the key? 🙂
Na that’s where shared income comes into play
whens the nest giveaway
next
Almost every hour
I need a new game to pull me away from Dune Awakening
I got a jar of dirt
Im earning more money. I put more money in that pool..
How y know
Because mods answers that question almost every hour
Sounds to me like you deserve the catering regardless. Stay up!
Tomorrow ill be back on crosswind stream, hopefully it will be the same 😉
How to get roles?
Find dev office, access pc, send me a key… then you shall receive a roll
I was so hyped to play a game like this that I was playing AC Black Flag.
Damn just missed the giveaway...
There will be more
Imagine the other 200 people who clicked the wrong checkbox because the mods didnt bother to delete it
theres going be another soon i guess
Learning is a hard curve to survive 💀
Experience will teach them you react to all lol
I will drink only rhum, no shower and talk to my wife and kids in Pirate until I got a key !
Statistically speaking your gonna be one stinky tanked pirate speaking fella
I like the odds either way
Yaaaaar
If they was to drop pre order now and u get alpha key they would sale so many copies right now and there’s not even a release date yet
You'll end up like him.
yup
I would have been one of those pre-orderer
He just forgot to dm me, it’s fine 😂😂
Release day gonna be wylin at this rate
I would purchase the most expensive version of the game I do on all games
I hate getting steam messages that aren't for the key, keep getting excited
ok wheres this 11'oclock giveaway
rewatching "Blacksails" is a good way to wait
I believe this game could be game of the year there’s no really good pirate games out there
Hi
It's not gonna be out until 2026
Congrats to the Giveaway winners, and Welcome to all the New Crosswind Peeps! Glad to have you!
oh so no love for the ancient peeps with nothing...
They said the OG testers are getting emails
ok where's the 11'oclock giveaway
Always lots love for the ancient ones, but always welcome the new ones 🙂
I am patiently waiting for my key.
Just found out of this today and am really intrigued and keen to try it
🙏
Is this where we get codes for crab simulator 2025?
Taking a day off for an early alpha is never gonna be worth it
Go do something else for your day off. Waiting on them to roll the dice on your access is probably not the best use
only take a day off if you already have the key (or you are forced to take vacation day)
thats like taking a loan to play lottery
wait you can do that?
When will the keys be sent?
at the right people surely 😄
If it makes you feel any better im off the next month and a half and im just....staring at the wall with you lol
from yesterday and till the servers cannot handle anymore at an avg rate of 60 per hr
Missed the giveaway... It's over....
Pinned message people
Soon, as Bambino used to say 🙂
it's not that was a stream giveaway event, not the passive invite that steam handles
drake shouldnt you be playing the game
Ah
the giveaway keys
if you wan the giveaway ask the streamer.
The giveaway keys may take a while
They're still going through the list of contest winners and dishing keys out to them as well
i won the giveaway mate
If he didn't specify how the key would be handed out (which i suspect he did) then ask him now on his stream
Counting down the hours to get home!
How to access to the early alpha playtest :
- Request access from the steam page (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3041230/Crosswind/)
- Access to alpha is not guaranteed. You'll be randomly selected when they send new waves of invite.
- Apply has a content creator by filling this form : https://forms.gle/RHcbHXaWvrxNcojRA
- As a streamer, it might be your best bet
- Discord giveaways from a Crosswind Crew
- Check for any new giveaway in #│announcements
- Streamer giveaway from Twitch
- Look at any streamer and some might do a giveaway https://www.twitch.tv/directory/category/crosswind
how often do they read the content creator forms out of interest?
Like daily
oh thats alright then
i got my key through keymailer so im just hoping they look at the forms soon
Are the contest keys going from top to bottom on the list? I'm near the bottom 😢
rip
People said steam is sending out 60 invites per hour is that accurrate or is it just 1 big inv whe nthey announce it? so i know if i gotta check my steam regular
You'll get an email from steam if you get access
Just to set the expectation, the chances of getting in are not high at all
More like 1%
that i know i am just wondering if its 60 per hour or 1 big invite as there was a post saying 1500 got invited
its based form the first day 1500 invites where send that equates to 60 per hr
okey so just calculated down
they say that they are giving the invites out slowly but gradualy over the day (so NOT in one big swoop)
So far max player count is 93
so it could be 100 at first hour and then 20 next, and then 50 the third and 70 the fourth. (that also gives 60 per hr)
Im guessing 50 of those are content creators
no, content creators were sent seperate messages with keys from at least 1 i'm aware of
of the 1500 content creators are part of the number. according to how they worded the numbers.
so the 60 per hrs is also includes the content creators.
To keep the devs happy and not under stress, its really just best to set your expectations to (im not getting a key) and if they deliver one, its a delightful surprise
Ye i just give up on playing and waiting now for release
Agreed
Actually youve got 50% chance of getting a key. Have you thought about that?
“Alright, lads. I’ll give you Blackbeard’s honest opinion. You ask me, ‘Can this new captain promise you a life of prizes, plunder, and adventure?’ Aye. Amongst all the gentlemen of fortune sailing these West Indies, he ranks amongst the most clever. There was a time when I thought myself the deadliest scourge of these seas. But this man... he’s like a fearsome dog. Feeds off trouble and turmoil. I seen him clear the deck of a Spanish galleon like it were nothing. Fighting like a devil dressed as a man. And he’s the kind of man knows his way around every crack and crevice of these islands. So if it’s fortune and adventure you seek, then Captain [Insert your name here] is your man. Only... don’t meddle in his private affairs. For there’s more mystery in that man than even I dare ask.”
🥱
the old classic lol
Just like the lottery, you either win or you lose.. so 50/50 😋 👍
XD
Ow yes indeed 
put your country flag under my message !
Hey everyone what's your thoughts on the game so far
😏
Switzerland is missing 😛
Congrats to all the winners
Game is great. Hype is good
Less this best Korea stuff
🇨🇭 does it?
Twas a minor Joke. Edited. I apologise
haha ok thx 😉
Does anyone know if the Alpha runs on SteamDeck?
It may or may not, don't think anyone has really tried yet but I doubt it
Congrats to all people that were on work during giveaway
Hmmm, Steamdeck is just a mini computer no? In which case Possibly? I dont have one so I cannot say for certain
Better to ask, is there any possibility to play this game with controller?
I want to say seaweaver said yesterday on stream hed gotten it working on steamdeck before
I only see winner numbers instead names so i guess i have not won ? ^^
@torpid dirge Uhh best not to announce the winner's names cause they very well might get harrassment from the same people spamming chat about keys!
It's done by a bot
Ah thank you 🙂
Will we see more weapons besides the gun and sword.
Like voodoo dolls, voodoo staff, witch doctors?
Are there more variants of the guns, like musket for long range, blunderbuss, etc
I did not receive any messages from anyone.
I see this guy has played pirates online
I live and breathed that game
that's good, hopefully you dont
I still do lol
A bot publicly pinged all the winner in the news channel. I dont see how me post a screenshot of the message is any different.
