Welcome back chasers! It's finally chase season, both in real life and in the OUTBRK world! This month's outlook will be highlighting the results of our two playtest sessions held on March 18th and 19th. We're also excited to show off a new vehicle, several customization items and world objects in their final stages of completion.
Playtest
Our recent playtest had around 100 players across two nights and several game servers running simultaneously. We also had a very special guest participating all weekend: Australian Storm Chaser Daniel Shaw! Did you see our recent highlight video on YouTube? Check it out below :
The most important conclusion we have come to from the feedback we collected is that no major revamp will be needed for our gameplay systems. They were understood, used and appreciated by the entirety of players. There will be some improvements and minor changes needed, but we’re confident we’re on the right track for a fun and unique storm chasing experience!
From the player’s feedback, we’ve created tasks that we plan to complete in the upcoming month. You can see for yourself right here on our Trello: https://trello.com/b/nsBmMfIa/outbrk-game
Vehicle Customization and In-Game Models
Now that we've been able to test the customization and in-game experience with the Sedan, we're continuing our work to bring more vehicles into OUTBRK along with customization features.
This month we received the finalized model for a new playable car and its unique LiveStormChasers.com skin. Here is it, alongside the default civilian version and a custom made hail guard to go with it :
We also commissioned the modeling of a very simple highway reflector to increase the realism and immersion while driving in the world of OUTBRK.
STEAM WISHLISTING
As we continue to make significant progress on the game, we’re excited to see a ton of players Wishlisting OUTBRK on Steam. Wishlisting is the best way to help OUTBRK currently, as we start to ramp up toward early access launch, having a lot of wishlists is the only way the game can break through Steam’s visibility algorithm and reach all the potential future chasers!

Never stop chasing! Till next time.
