Greetings Bloodfolk!
FPS Fest is halfway over and I'm realizing that all game updates has thus far lived over in the Bloodthief Playtest Community, so folks coming here from the demo may be a little confused!
In any case, I'll start posting here now as well and will take this as an opportunity to post some details about the game, the community, and how you can get involved:
- The bulk of the Bloodthief community lives in my Official Blargis Discord Server. This is where I hang out every day and chat, take feedback, hash out bugs, etc. Come say hi! If Discord isn't your thing, feel free to post questions/comments here or on the Playtest Steam community as I'll be monitoring these spaces as well!
- This Demo is only going to be available for FPS Fest. Not to fear though! All the content from the Demo will be pushed to the ongoing Bloodthief Playtest, which is 100% free and open. You can join the playtest by clicking "Request Access" on the Bloodthief Steam Page
- Devlogs and promotional content for Bloodthief can be found on my YouTube Channel. Here's the latest devlog:
Watch on YouTube - Bloodthief has a growing Speedrunning community! If you're a speedrunner, go check out the Bloodthief Speedrun.com page. Learn what the top runners are doing and submit some runs! Bloodthief also has a dedicated discord just for speedrunning, check it out here.
Moving forward: Expect further updates from me both here and on the Bloodthief Playtest Community (I'll probably just cross-post everything).
I'm working super hard to bring y'all new content to try out soon. Stay tuned!
