So i now uploaded all the stuff i had backed up to the Internet Archive so at least something is preserved now.
(And please everyone, back this stuff up too in case it dies!)
https://archive.org/details/MonstrumAlphaBackup
This includes hopefully every possible Monstrum Alpha Gameplay Video ever that was uploaded on YouTube and even ones that were deleted already.
I have no idea on how long i had backed up those videos but i can tell that it has indeed at least a few videos that do no longer exist.
For example the DelayLP ones.
I saved all the developer images a very long time ago even before Monstrum 2 was released (So at least more than 3 years ago) and sadly lost some of them.
I also added all known Interview Videos, Trailers and the test videos of Junkfish themselves in case they decide to delete them also just like they did with the Audio Occlusion Example video (what is a very early video).
Why even delete that?
This is early Monstrum stuff what is important for your fans.


I was probably the biggest fan of the first Monstrum and i did almost everything so the alpha would not die.

Trust me, i even asked a few site's if they had it uploaded at some point but nope, seems everyone that did a playtest had not the idea to "secretly" share that free version of the game what was public for everyone that could have asked.
(I added the "it was public to everyone" here because Junkfish first stated that it was not public to everyone...)

I even asked on a lot YouTube videos and would have given a little money like up to 200€ for the effort if they could even restore some of the assets (even corrupted assets) with recovery programs on channels that looked at least a little active but without luck.
Either i did not get an answer because the account is almost dead, the person does never answer any comments or is to famous.
For the ones i got an answer, they simply now have a new system after 10 years what is logical.
Who would still use the same PC after 10 years if there are now better and faster ones.
Interesting is that if you look now on some videos is that other people asked too. (I had my comments deleted because i had my answer "no alpha this way...")
And surprisingly some of the alpha videos actually seemed to be deleted because people started asking.
Well, that's less gameplay footage on YouTube :/
(Phew, luckily i had already backed up most of those videos..)


And is asking the developers a good thing?

No!
Don't!
It is bad!
Really bad!

The developers don't want to talk about any of the alpha(s) anymore and their once nice answer "that they do not have it anymore" and "they would have given it out IF THEY HAD IT" but "they don't have a backup system" (what was before Monstrum 2 was even out) now changed to "they won't make it public"... just as it can be read in their Discord FAQ...
So it was all lies because they still had it all the time? (Not to forget about Monstrum Alpha assets appearing with the Monstrum 2 Hisa Maru update)
And even it was meant nice, i even asked them with a little money for old assets they do not need anymore so i could remake the alpha for "FREE" for the community, they turned that into bribery and harassment like if i wanted to steal something from them... so if you turn into a similar game developer, you aren't a game developer...
And don't try to ask them anything about the alpha, because they never ever have some time to answer because they concentrate on their next project (just as it was with Monstrum 2...) and if you ask them now again, they turn this into harassment so they can ban you. (Heard from multiple people sadly)
Don't forget that they often give unclear answers (or turn away from the question).
I still remember that they never told me and a friend long ago that we should to stop asking about the alpha anywhere and then suddenly a moderator comes and says NO and we do not understand it, like if i ever heard a no or that we should stop asking before and that in open chat like if we are the bad ones here. (Still hurts to this day)
The friend was banned but not me... surprising?
Maybe it was because i actively helped with the Monstrum Extended Settings mod before.
Maybe people now know why all my videos and my Steam Workshop disappeared some time ago.
This was just depressing as the biggest fan of their game.

Well, long story short... so i had to go the long way instead and started asking around on the internet and backed up gameplay video after gameplay video (i even had Junkfish's complete old site backed up too but i only kept the most important images someday and lost some of them).
Thanks Team Junkfish (or Junkfish Limited) that i had to back up videos from random other people instead because of unclear answers.
This stuff triggers bad mood really hard...
(To mention i never wanted to talk bad about them but this all is just bad and annoying)

And i don't want to start with Monstrum 2 and how broken it was internally.
