May i ask some question about the pre-alpha

[xiaomosd]

i am a fan of we happy few.After Game Over,i want to ask where can find the old version？I admit to want to play the old version.Because I think the old version has some special thing in the game.

[Borobby]

I'm afraid piracy is the only way, but as long as you own the original game you should be okay. Simple google search can give you few sites where to download pre-alpha builds from.
I can only say pre-alpha versions are greatly different, so another kind of We Happy Few if we can call like that. Beware of glitches though.

[xiaomosd]

ok,thanks.

No need to search around for ages i'll just save you the trouble. Most pre alpha builds are extinct from most of the web at this point anyways

https://archive.org/details/we-happy-few-build-collection-1

That is a collection of every major pre alpha update starting with the august 2015 gamescom version.

The 21735/22249 builds are the April 2016 Pax Pre-Alpha demo versions. (obviously the 22249 version is the hotfixed version) These builds where 3 months prior to EA but still a big difference.

The 17956 build (pre alpha build 12) is the March 2016 update. 1 month before the major Pax 2016 overhaul and is the last version with the very loose "oldschool" world generation style. It used to be on a branch you could revert back into when the pax 2016 demo came out. But it was removed once Early Access launched in July 2016

The 14473 build is the December 2015 Pre-Alpha (a.k.a Pre alpha build 10)

The 11935 build (Pre alpha build 8) is the September 2015 build 1 month after the gamescom version. It is also in a .rar format so you will need winrar to extract this one.

The 11164/11219 are the gamescom builds from August 2015 witch at this point are the oldest builds that exist on the web. (A.k.a Update 6.3)

The June 2015 and May 2015 builds are still missing and most likely will never be found. But you can still thank me for this.

I got like half of these separately in the past, download works, so thank you for sharing these!

[xiaomosd]

Thanks for your reply，That will solve many problems.

Can i ask what the old alpha versions had that current WHF doesn't have anymore?

[Borobby]

Pre-Alpha versions were significantly different than the actual game, such as darker environment, different HUD and slightly game mechanics (can't launch bodies), less weapons, more aggressive Bobbies and of course glitches. You can also fly if you jump off the bridge, but die if you save and load the game afterwards.
Graphically speaking it's lower quality, so lower spec pcs should be able to run well the game (at least with my previous laptop it seemed so minus some framedrop here and there), because of course it's about early versions of WHF.
As for missions, to be honest I didn't pay them attention very much besides "Escape Wellington Wells", but there are few exclusive places you can visit there, some of which are otherwise inaccessible in the actual game unless with cheats (like the apartment above Reg Cutty's store, for example, NOT the one during that side mission though, and the pawn show being greatly different).

But overall pre-alpha versions have barely content in comparison with the actual game, earlier versions were said to be more difficult in gameplay as dying was easier.
Might suggest watching some pre-alpha gameplay for a better judgement.
Hybrid Panda also made a video about pre-alpha versions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydtOS-BBJlQ

Sorry for bothering but i notice 11935 is listed here despite not being included in the Archive. Is there another link for it somewhere or is it also missing?

[sbobo3113]

The 11915 build is the same update as the 11935. it's just without the extra hotfix. Also make sure you click "show All" as the build is a .rar and not a zip file like the rest

Is there any install instructions, having trouble running any version

Which kind of trouble?

Try closing down Steam and run the executable from the game files under C://user/[folder the game got extracted]/We Happy Few Pre Alpha Build []\GlimpseGame\Binaries\Win64.
The game is drm-free, but Steam may detect it if you have Steam open and don't own the game in your library.

My question is, are there any other builds that can be obtained? Or are the listed options the only currently builds we can get for Pre-Alpha
