We'd like to signal our support for Custom Games in Tyr by sharing some details and a screenshot of our Work-in-Progress custom game lobby.
Custom Games are great for private and tournament play, and we've heard loud and clear from our community that this is something they'd like at launch, so we're building it.
If you'd like to learn about our plans for Custom Game support alongside upcoming playtest dates and the Tyr Creator Program, check out the latest in our dev update video series below.
Here's a mockup of the Custom Games lobby that we're building towards right now.
Custom Games lobbies will feature game codes for invitations, map selection for the host, the ability to switch team sides, and two spectate slots per team.
We're getting set to test custom lobbies internally, so this may or may not make an upcoming playtest. We'll, of course, share once this is ready for our testers to take a crack at.
We're hosting another private playtest this Sunday at 12 pm PT until 4 pm PT. You can register to join our private playtest community at https://stoke.firstlook.gg.
In the coming weeks, we're planning to host an open playtest here on Steam for anyone interested. If you find yourself in the camp of waiting until we open Tyr's playtest further, head to the game's store page here on Steam and request access to the public playtest with the big green button below our trailers and screenshots. Update: We've had a lot of registrations and have elected to pause collection for now. We'll announce the date and time for that public playtest soon.
See you on the battlefield. 🫡 Add Tyr to your wishlist.
