In parallel with the delivery of your Kickstarter orders, we are making the ALTERED app available to you starting today and new services will be made accessible:

• Scan your cards in bulk
• Friendlist
• Direct trading/giveaway of cards (person to person)
• Create your store account

As a reminder, you can always log in to your account directly from www.altered.gg or even from your phone using your browser. The app version exists only to provide access to services that cannot be offered in any other form, such as the bulk scanning service.

Please not that the APP is not yet fully functional and will most likely encounter bugs & errors in the first days/weeks of its release. It's an important moment for us that we start getting a real test based on real use cases, and there are no better testers than our own community.

IOS

• Download ALTERED for IOS

ANDROID

• The application is not yet available on Google Play Store and we will let you know as soon as it is. In the meantime, you can download it directly (APK). It’s exactly the same as if you would download it from the store, just not hosted on the store.

Download the APK: here

In this beta version, three access paths are available to you and you can scan up to 150 cards at once

Tip: the APP shows you the number of cards currently scanned in the top right hand corner. We strongly advise you to scan your boosters 1 by 1 and check this top right hand corner number to see if it matches the number of cards within your booster. This way, if you missed one card, you’ll quickly notice it.

To facilitate the app's recognition of your cards, we recommend the following:

• Good lighting (avoid dim light)
• Varying scanning distances (different phones behave differently)
• Sometimes waiting 1 to 2 seconds for the focus to adjust, if necessary

In case it seems like a card is harder than other to scan:

• Try zooming in and out with your phone
• Try scanning the card directly with your cam instead of the app
• Last resort, you can download any free scan app from your store and try again.

If none of the above works, check the bottom of this article for help.

Homepage => My Profile => Handle my friends => Add a friend (type his ID)

• The ID is found in “My Profile”

To trade in Altered you have to choose which cards you want to make available in your digital binder for others to see and make offers.

Homepage => My Collection (or Cards button at the bottom of the UI) => Select a card => Access details => Trade list (or Give) => Validate

• Repeat this for every card you want to add to your trading binder.

If you are interested in someone’s cards, you’ll check their digital binder and select what you are interested in and offer them to start a trade. They’ll then be able to check your binder and make their offer in return if they want. Once both offers are set, both people are asked to validate, or not, this deal.

Store accounts are only opened to brick and mortar stores that can justify they are real stores. Online stores (which would not have a brick and mortar store), associations, gaming bars etc. will not be granted store accounts. If you are not eligible to a store account but want to do “organised play” for Altered, it’s suggested that you partner with a store who has an account. Our policy might evolve in the future as we could consider opening part of the store accounts services to other types of organisations, but that’s not planned for 2024.

Current store accounts will not grant you to any extra services for now. Store accounts related services should start opening closer to the official release of the game.

If you feel like you are eligible and want to create a store account, follow these steps:

• Then you’ll be asked to fill in all details regarding your business and in particular the official info allowing us to confirm you are indeed a brick and mortar store.
• The validation process might take a little while in the first weeks and we will do our best to speed up the process before the OP season 1 starts. (September 13th)

No

In your player account profile you can change the associated email address, which will make it available for another account creation.

• The ability to give “admin rights” to more accounts than one is not yet available and is planned for september.
• However, it’s possible to log the same store account on many different devices. This temporary solution could help stores who would need to have multiple people working at the same time.

We know how convenient bulk actions are to stores and collectors who own and manipulate a huge number of cards. It’s something we very much want to add but that will take some more time to arrive. In brief:

• Bulk actions are still in development and are planned for S1 2025.

Although we have conducted numerous tests with various types of phones, we unfortunately could not test every model available and the app is still in a “Beta” state. If you encounter an issue, let us know here:

• Before July 26: [email protected]
• After July 26: https://support.altered.gg/

We will do our best to assist you as quickly as possible!
