An early look / A real say
Get inside
the weather.
This is a work in progress, with rough edges and room to grow. We’re looking for honest impressions of how it plays, what feels good, and where it gets in your way.
Try the storm systems
Explore the weather, destruction, and supporting storm cells. We want to hear when something clicks—and when the game needs to explain itself better.
Build in Thunder Bay
The beta includes a restricted creative demo with the Thunder Bay starter city and a 56-item collection. Try the tools and tell us how building feels.

Before the first strike
Beta field notes.
What to expect from this build and how to get help.
Does signing up guarantee access?
No. A signup registers your interest. We review requests and send codes separately to selected testers.
Which platforms can play this beta?
This installer is for Windows x64. A phone can access this page, but you’ll need a Windows PC to install and play.
Can I use my code again?
Each code is redeemed once. After redemption, this browser has a one-hour download window so you can retry if a transfer fails. If you need another code, contact the studio.
How long does this build run?
The current beta license runs through January 1, 2027, New York time, and ends at midnight on January 2. The game performs an internet time check at each launch. Review the beta agreement in the installer before playing.
What data does the beta use?
We store your signup details to manage beta invitations. This build also includes installation and first-launch receipt tracking. Website access codes record redemption and download authorization; they do not identify every installation of the shared MSI. Read the beta privacy details.
Where do I send feedback or report a problem?
Email support@idistudios.io. Include the build version, what happened, and any steps that reproduce it. Please keep invite codes out of public screenshots.
