Got some extra keys that gives you access to the Closed Alpha. Devs message:

SKARA is an unfinished alpha, so it's still in development. It's not polished and you will probably have problems with it.
Two specific issues we have been actively working on is the game’s optimization and the lack of dedicated servers to find others to play with.

Servers

We don’t have them yet, because they are expensive. But finding other players is easy, you just have to make sure that they are in the same relative area as you.

Check out our forum on IndieDB (http://www.indiedb.com/company/8-bit-studio/forum), which has groups listed by country. Make friends, develop factions. Rule Skara. This is a young forum, so don't be shy!
