Vawraek Technologies, the developer behind the MMORPG Quinfall, has announced the opening of applications for its second closed beta. This development comes amidst a backdrop of controversy and mixed reactions from the community. The game, since its initial announcement, has been at the center of several debates ranging from the implementation of paid features in what was initially promised as open betas, to the use of AI tools and prefabricated assets from the Unreal Store in its development process.
The announcement of the second closed beta does not specify a start date, leaving potential participants in the dark about when they might expect to gain access. A reply to the game’s Twitter announcement did, however, confirm that this phase of testing would not be subject to a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), allowing participants to freely share their experiences and findings.
The use of AI tools and “ready-made Unreal Store assets” has also been a point of contention. While such practices are not uncommon in the industry, they have sparked discussions about originality and quality in the context of Quinfall’s development. The community remains divided, with some defending the approach as a practical means to achieve ambitious goals, while others express skepticism about the potential impact on the game’s uniqueness and depth.
