Tideward Updates.
For people who want Tideward but don't have time to test an alpha. Leave your email and I'll reach out only at the moments that matter, then get out of your inbox.
What you'll get
- When the beta opens up, if you'd rather wait for a more finished build than today's.
- When a major beta milestone ships.
- The launch announcement, a month or two before release, with the date.
- Launch day, when Tideward reaches the App Store (February 11, 2027).
That's the whole list. Never more than one email a month, and usually far less.
Questions
How often will you email me?
Rarely. This list only goes out at the milestones that matter: when the beta opens to more testers, when a major beta build ships, the launch announcement a month or two out, and the day Tideward reaches the App Store. Never more than one email a month, and usually far less.
Is this the same as The Assembly Line newsletter?
No. The Assembly Line is a twice-weekly newsletter about idle and factory games across the genre. Tideward Updates is just the big Tideward moments, nothing else. If you want the full dev story and genre coverage, subscribe to The Assembly Line instead, or to both.
What do you do with my email?
It is stored on Manu Games' own servers, used only to send these updates, and never shared or sold. No third-party newsletter platform, no tracking, no ads. Unsubscribe in one click anytime.
Can I just play it now?
Yes. Tideward is in free TestFlight alpha on every Apple device. If you have a few minutes, the alpha is the best way in. See the install guide.
