We are super excited to announce a brand-new update that will change the way you play BET by adding a new "Journey" game mode and adding one of our biggest levels yet, Level 6. This update will be released tomorrow, May 17th at 3:00 PM PST. A full change list and announcement will be posted on release.
Why did we skip level 5? I've seen some confusion regarding the levels such as "Where is level 3?", "Why does level 4 have no monster?", etc. To give a blanket answer, these are all purposeful choices. We like to follow the Backroom's Wiki (The Wikidot and Fandom) in regard to level design choices. Each level may have multiple exits, causing a nonlinear style of progression. As we add more levels, this will hopefully make sense. We believe Levels 3 and 5 don't offer much of a unique experience. Those levels aren't off the table, there's just a plethora of other levels that are far more interesting.
While I'm here laying out plans, I wanted to give you all an update on the proposed Q1 roadmap. A lot of features proposed will be slotted into future updates. The player vs bacteria game mode however, will be put on hold for a while. Most (71%) of you voted in Discord that you would much rather more levels, so that's the route we are going to go. We have many new things planned and we are super excited for the future of BET. Thanks for sticking along!
