Devlog: Backrooms Cycle - Unleashing the Power of Playtesting
Greetings, fearless adventurers! It's time to shed light on the latest developments of our immersive Backrooms game, Backrooms Cycle. We're thrilled to announce that we're actively working on the game and are getting closer to the moment when you can join us on this extraordinary journey. But before that, we need your help in testing and refining the game through an exclusive playtesting phase!
From June 16th to June 19th, we will be conducting an exciting playtest, and we want you to be a part of it. This is your opportunity to get an early taste of Backrooms Cycle and contribute to its shaping. But don't worry if you can't participate this time around – there will be more opportunities in the future. Just keep an eye on our announcements!
During this playtest, we have specific areas we'd love your assistance with. Our primary focus will be on testing the combat mechanics, ensuring that the battles against the abominations lurking in the Backrooms are thrilling and satisfying. Engage in intense encounters, wield powerful weapons, and unleash your skills to overcome the twisted horrors that stand in your way. We want to hear your thoughts on combat balance, responsiveness, and overall enjoyment.
Additionally, we'll be evaluating the quest system, which will provide you with unique objectives and challenges throughout your journey. Embark on thrilling quests, unravel the secrets of the Backrooms, and witness the impact of your choices on the ever-evolving narrative. Help us fine-tune the quest system by providing feedback on quest design, pacing, and overall engagement.
Furthermore, we're excited to gather your insights on the inventory system. Explore the depths of the Backrooms, scavenge for valuable resources, and manage your inventory effectively to survive in this hostile environment. Test the mechanics, experiment with different loadouts, and let us know your thoughts on the interface, usability, and any suggestions you may have.
The playtest will also focus on evaluating our level generation algorithms, which will ensure that each exploration into the Backrooms feels unique and unpredictable. Traverse a labyrinth of procedurally generated corridors, encounter hidden chambers, and uncover secrets scattered throughout the infinite expanse. Share your experiences and observations regarding level variety, coherence, and any unexpected issues that may arise.
Finally, we'd like to emphasize the importance of finding and squashing as many bugs as possible. Your keen eye and meticulous attention to detail will help us identify and eliminate any lurking issues. Report any glitches, inconsistencies, or other technical anomalies you encounter, as your valuable feedback will help us refine and polish Backrooms Cycle to its full potential.
We kindly request all playtesters to join our Discord community, where you can directly interact with the development team and share your experiences with fellow explorers. Your feedback, suggestions, and bug reports are invaluable to us, and we greatly appreciate your support in making Backrooms Cycle the best it can be.
We are incredibly grateful for your unwavering enthusiasm and continuous support throughout this journey. Your involvement as playtesters will play a vital role in shaping the final game, and we can't wait to embark on this adventure with you.
Prepare your flashlights, gather your courage, and get ready to immerse yourself in the Backrooms like never before. The playtesting phase is just around the corner!
Stay tuned for more updates, and remember to mark your calendars for June 16th – June 19th. Together, let's conquer the mysteries of the Backrooms!
