🎮 Raiders Rise – Sprint 28 Community Update
Welcome to a new update! This sprint has been strongly focused on preparing the playable demo, while continuing to polish key systems, improve the player experience, and add new social and visual features. Here’s everything we’ve been working on.

🧩 Demo Preparation and Core Systems
🎯 Demo Status
Nos hemos centrado en dejar lista la experiencia de la demo jugable, puliendo elementos clave como:

  • Battle Pass

  • Reward system

The demo also includes UI improvements to give clear feedback about unavailable features (for example, the shop redirects to the platform page).

We have also expanded and refined the notification system, which is now used consistently across the game, improving clarity for player actions and rewards.

🧠 Tutorial and Onboarding
The tutorial system has received major improvements:

✅ Level 1

  • Fully polished and refined

  • More structured and accessible guidance for new players

🔄 Improved Learning Flow
Complex actions are now broken into smaller steps:

  • Example: abilities explained step by step (aim → hold → release)
    This helps prevent players from missing important mechanics.

🤝 Co-op Introduction
The tutorial now includes:

  • Teamplay mechanics

  • Reviving teammates

  • Coordinated actions (such as opening doors together)

📈 Goal
Ensure that new players fully understand the gameplay from the start.

⚙️ Systems and Platform Features
🎮 UI and Navigation Improvements

  • Improved character selection and browsing screen

  • Clearer scrolling and focus

🔗 Social and Streaming Features

📡 Join Streamers System
New feature that allows players to join a streamer’s match via a link:

  • Works from shared links (Twitch, Discord, etc.)

  • Cross-region and cross-session compatible

  • Works even if the game is already open

🤝 Support-a-Creator System
Creator codes have been added:

  • Players can support creators through in-game purchases

  • Creators receive rewards based on usage

Special visual identifiers have also been added for:

  • Streamers

  • Developers

  • Community ambassadors

🎨 New Skins
New skins have been added and finalized.

🎬 Presentation and Art
Work has started on:

  • New splash screen

  • Character renders for marketing

🌍 Level Design and Environments
🗺 Planet Progress
Work continues on Planet 3:

  • Collider work

  • Level design iteration

🎨 Visuals and Marketing Assets

  • New environment renders created for marketing

  • Ongoing work on the main menu (home screen)
