Hello Everyone,
Firstly, I sincerely apologize for the delays in updates, and the delays in publishing the game.
Today im going to go over some concerns you guys have voiced, as well as give you some more insight / updates into the game.
So recently, over the past few months we have been finalizing multiplayer aspects of the game, adding in functionality like leaderboards, voice chat, custom role names, and server configuration files. This has taken quite a bit longer than expected due to some headaches that have come up, but it has been mostly completed and is working well.
We anticipate release in the next forecoming months, but cannot give a exact date as of now sadly. That date will depend on the q/a and public testing.
With that being said, the next step for us is finishing off the game in terms of polish, animations, models, and testing. We will be undergoing that for a short period of time, then in which we will be opening it up to public testing before release.
Public testing will be hosted on steam from the new Steam Playtest feature. The way this works is once this announcement is live, you guys can go to the store page and click on the 'Request Access' Button. [Or something along those lines] Near the top of the page. This will enter you into a list where you can be selected to test the game.
The game will be tested in regions to test server durability and strength, client-server bugs, and anything else network related that may show up. By signing up onto the list you can help us make sure the game is running the best it can be before release, AND you can give us input into the design, feel, and overall enjoyment of the game so we can make changes as needed.
Im really excited for getting close to a release, and I want to thank you all for the amazing support we've had and this amazing community. I couldn't have gotten this far without you all. [And also the amazing studio staff behind me]
More news will be released in the next coming bit. Stay posted.
