Hello puzzle/strategy fans!
The journey to launch is nearly done! We have been hard at work squashing bugs left and right and polishing Backbeat and now we're in the home stretch. The full version of Backbeat will launch on Steam in two weeks on March 16th!
The last few months we've gone through the game and taken note of all the little places we can make things smoother and more engaging, and internally we're just finishing up testing on a slew of features that will be ready on day one:
* SteamOS / Steam Deck support
* mouse controls
* performance optimisations
* dialogue flow adjustments
These are just a few of the many small updates we're adding right now so get those fingers ready. A lot of these improvements are the direct result from your kind feedback in our Steam forums, so a big thanks goes out to our demo players.
The melodies of Backbeat are just too good to put down. We can't get them our of our heads! And so we've collaborated with our composer the amazing Pete Fraser to add a arranged soundtrack to the Steam page which will also be live on March 16th.
We're on the road right now exhibiting at DevGAMM in Gdańsk, Poland, so we'll sign off for the moment but see you again on launch day in two weeks.
Stay funky!
