We've finally made it!
In the leadup to Steam NextFest, we have released our very first Open Beta for Footy bash.
This Open Beta will run from now until November 4th 16:59 AEDT (November 3rd 23:59 PDT), and we'd love to have you all jump on and have a kick and a punch!
Feedback is very important to us here at Danger Thumbs, and something we take very seriously. Throughout the development until now, we have had a very narrow set of testers who have had invaluable feedback, as well as public comments on our videos. With the amazing support thus far, we thought now would be the best time to get as many people as we can invested in the testing.
So this isn't a demo?
Not quite yet! The reason we're running this as a timed event is so that we can gather the feedback, break it all down and feed a million little chunks into our Trello board.
Once we've sorted out any larger issues we'll roll this out as a permanent Demo while we work on going to Early Access.
This helps us make sure that the Demo we put out is a one-for-one replication of our game mechanics, as well as something that we're happy to put our names to.
So what can we expect in this Open Beta and the upcoming Demo?
We will be limiting some functionality in the Open Beta and Demo of course, but we want people to be able to play entire games, hopefully multiple of, and make an informed decision as to whether or not they'd like to take the plunge into the main content!
We will have the Quick Play game mode available which is 1 to 4 players, as well as basic configurations such as AI difficulty.
Features such as team customisations, perk selection, etc... will, at the time of writing this, be limited to the non-Demo version.
I have some ideas that could be cool!
Excellent! We really encourage everyone to hop over to our Discord and share it with the Devs and the community!
