Howdy Neighbors!
🛑 THE OPEN BETA IS CLOSED
The Open Beta for Neighbors is now over, and boy has it been a lovely time! 🤩 Almost 200.000 of you have played the game, and given us so, so much!
We are very happy to see so much excitement surrounding Neighbors be it here in Discord, but also across all our social media channels, on Twitch and also YouTube. 🥳
It was so cool to play the games with you and also to see other people play the game and have discussions about strategies or the pro and cons of certain neighbors.
After our weekly team meeting this morning it is clear: We are just so thankful for everyone playing. 💛🩵💚
WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
I think I'm not reaching, when I say we got a shitton of feedback, recommendations and bugreports to go through and we are grateful, that we got pointers on how to make game even better. 🫡
Community-wise we are currently preparing a bigger report on the Open Beta with some interesting numbers like e.g. most played neighbors, average match length and item usage. We will try to get this done before the end of the week.
On the development side we will look at balance changes, fixes and general polishing of the game so we are ready for the Early Access Release April 17th. BTW don't forget to wishlist Neighbors to get notified when EA goes live.

📝 Localization of Neighbors
Neighbors reached international waters and the language of the game needs more input! If you are not aware of it yet, we are translating the game together with the help of the community!
For this we are using Crowdin - a service enabling collaborative work on translations. We are always on the lookout for more support and voluntary translators. Especially looking at French, Portuguese or Spanish we seem to lack a bit. :/ After reaching a certain amount of words translated you will earn a spot in our credits and a also receive a limited digital reward, which we are currently figuring out. 🙂

A detailed breakdown on how the translation process works can be found in one of our previous Steam post here.
Neighbors MEME Templates, Sticker & Emotes
We LOVE to seeing so many new users in the Discord and how engaged everyone is. This is why we decided to pull the trigger and release the first batch of Emotes and Stickers. We plan to add more of these as we go along and feel free to recommend some you would love to see and use. Check them out on our Discord server!
Much love,
Artjom & Jesper
