It's been a month since we had a Mayhem Brawler developer diary together. Today we will talk about the Closed Beta, the process that perfected Mayhem Brawler.
The Closed Beta of Mayhem Brawler Starts
Remember we published an article about the Mayhem Brawler Closed Beta? If not, here is the link if you need to refresh your memory: Mayhem Brawler Closed Beta Is Starting.
From the moment our closed beta started, Mayhem Brawler has been a subject for many improvements & changes with our beta testers' feedback but let's talk about beta testers first.
Beta Testers and Special Forces
The Mayhem Brawler beta consisted of 2 parts, firstly Closed Beta and a second Special Forces beta. The first closed beta test made by handpicked professionals and content creators of beat 'em up world. We watched them during their test time, tracked their suggestions and bug detections, evaluated their participation, and moved to the 2nd part of the beta, which formed the "Special Forces of Stronghold" for Mayhem Brawler. Once again we are sharing our appreciation and gratitude to our Special Forces, let's give them a huge shout-out before we move on to the changes:
- Shamsiddin "Mr.Din" Muhammad Jr.
- James "J.Miller" Miller-Igietseme
- O. Erdal "SesshoSeki" Ersoy
- Devon "MajorPlayerz" Mcintosh
- Antoine "Thelegendarydawes" Lewis-hall
- Richard "Dick" Crosbie
- "TheMightyBill"
- Dale Tugman
And one last friend, a mighty young man with a golden heart, a true fighting game genius, a long lost officer that devastated us with his passing due to Covid-19, Barış Baran "InsanityIsHope" Padar 02.01.2002 - 23.04.2021. Rest In Peace...

There is not much to say about the minor changes of Mayhem Brawler but still, a couple of adjustments have been made according to the feedback we got and experienced. These adjustments can be stated such as damage values of our heroes, minions, and lieutenants, along with adding animations to the backgrounds.
