Hello everyone, I'm sure you have been wondering about Stream Runners: Heroes release, seeing as today is launch day. Well we have an update for you.
We submitted the final build of the game to Steam from review yesterday, and it is currently being reviewed by Steam for a clear to launch.
During the BETA we received some excellent feedback from our testers and their communities, and we wanted to include updates to the base game's settings based on this feedback. These extra features include:
1) a post-session scoreboard containing all three lanes points value and who killed a boss that game
2) a Runner multiplier toggle so that one redeem will spawn 3 runners
3) a redeem cooldown slider to decrease spam in the chat if so desired
4) a boss HP slider for creating challenges or easy boss slaying
5) the ability to turn off or on Runner colors (Red, Blue, and Green)
all these things as well as some balancing fixes - those green runners, they were invincible, they never died! So we fixed that bug too.
It's disappointing that we could not reach our launch date, as a publisher personally I want to meet the goals I set. I truly believe these additions will enhance the game and make it a wonderful tool for all the streamers who use it going forward. With these things considered, it set my mind at ease to simply push the launch date, and work on what mattered: getting the players and hosts the game they deserve.
So as Steam reviews this final build, this means Stream Runners: Heroes could be available between now and who knows - maybe even next Monday! It's not up to us to say. It's all in Steams hands now, and we hope the approval comes very soon, so you can all start playing SR: Heroes.
I will be keeping everyone updated with news as it happens here. Thank you all for your patience, your support, and for all your effort spreading the word about our game playing it on stream!
