Exactly one year ago today, BET was released. I never could've imagined that a year later, 50k+ people would've played my small Backrooms game I decided to make in a month. But here we are! BET's ambitions have only grown and this update brings us one step closer to those wild dreams.
As the title states, we are releasing our much anticipated "huge" update on October 31st, Halloween Day. Thank you everyone for your patience as we have long eclipsed our target dates. During this 4 month period, we've rewritten, overhauled, and refactored almost all of our core systems in the project. A TON of work has been put in to make the future development of BET faster and higher quality. We've effectively planted the seeds for BET to blossom into the most realistic survival horror experience on the market.
All of this backend work means unfortunately this update is systems heavy rather than content heavy. This doesn't mean that there is no content though, because as promised, this is our biggest update yet. We could've kept the update in the oven a little longer to put the exclamation mark on new content, but we believe a "Part 2" is more appropriate than making everyone wait two more months.
What's Coming On Halloween
- Level !
- Level 37
- Level 0 Overhaul (Plus a Brand New Subsection)
- Minor Level 1 Overhaul
- Skin Stealer Overhaul
- Minor Environmental Changes to Level 2 and 4
- Inventory System (Tarkov Style Jigsaw Inventory)
- Equipment System (Will be beta for this update :) )
- Sanity System

- New Item/Looting Mechanic (Tons of new items to help you survive!)

- Performance Improvements
- Sprint Tweaks
- Remappable Controls
- Huge Multiplayer Improvements (Client Jitters/Lag)
(As a last remark, this is probably the longest amount of time BET will go without an update due to our focus on backend work this past summer. From this update on, its full steam ahead for content!)
