Can I stream/record STN during alpha?
Yes, we only ask that you please include a disclaimer with your stream or recording that states that the current version of STN is a alpha build and is not to be considered a finished game.
Is there anti-cheat?
Our servers are authoritative which means server logic is independent from the clients and most decisions are made by the server which makes it harder for people to manipulate situations. This will however not be all, we’re always looking for ways to improve cheat protection. We’ve implemented anti-chat and are exploring additional systems. Our servers will and can be heavily moderated this also allows for greater control of just how a server will run and how secure it will be.

STN is currently for PC/Mac only with the possibility of porting to consoles in the future.
