Happy Holidays once more! It has been a long time since the last playtest, but progress has still been happening. We decided to spread the joy this season by dropping the playtest right away and leaving it running until the new year arrives (no set end date just yet). After some long discussions we have shifted our focus towards providing engaging single player and coop content as we move towards an Early Access release on Steam. A heap of work has gone into enhancing the bots in the lead-up to this playtest and will also be a major focus as we push forward into creating further solo experiences. We have added Custom Matches whereby players can add bots and select their classes. Brawlers or Snipers only, 1 vs 7 or balanced matches are all playable both solo and with friends. You may even enjoy sitting back and watching the bots go at it while you spectate them. We plan to enhance the Custom Match experience as the bots improve and evolve. There have also been many optimisations and engine upgrades which enabled us to increase body counts and bot amounts, but be aware that the more you add the harder it will be on your PC. With all this in mind we have decided to not run the dedicated servers for this playtest. However you are still able to host and play P2P with friends via Steam invites, server browser or just go it solo against the bot horde. Whether solo, coop or pvp - we hope you enjoy another extended playtest and have a safe and happy holiday season! From December 13th at 6:30AM AEDT until early January:
Solo, Coop and P2P will be available 24/7.
Events, community discussions, polls and LFG channels can be found via the Community Discord.
Everyone is welcome to Request Access and participate in any or all playtests. Please also Wishlist the game if you enjoy it or want to keep up to date on its progress, as this helps us a lot. Patch notes for this release: v0.53
