Hey Sumocrats,
From February, we decided to go for a monthly update of the game to include new features and new content on a regular basis. The idea is to take your feedbacks into account to improve the game up to its Early Access version.
The duration of the Steam alphas will be one week, so we will have three weeks to integrate the modifications before launching the next one. During this period, we invite you to take an active part in the Discord to discuss your gaming experience and allow us to better understand your expectations.
Here is what will be contained in alpha V2.01:
GUI :
We had revamp the whole GUI. Here is a screenshot from the main menu ( we add a title for the show...):
TUTORIAL :
We don't want to put new comers into action without having done the tutorial. The tutorial will learn you how to move in 6DOF. It will also teach you how to shoot the ball and make super strikes.
MULTI :
Once you have reached multiplayer stage, the game will start in 2vs2 mode. You can invite Steam friends to join your team and play co-op matches. Future versions will include other game modes, for now we are working on a simple matchmaking principle to improve the network. The matches will be played alternately on two maps, Laika and Encelade.
Laika is an inter-carrier connection module located in space. The map is straight and allows very fast and aggressive plays. Beware of sharpshooter who will be able to fire devastating shots.
Encelade is a maintenance station built on Saturn Enceladus satellite. This map features a double bend that emphasizes tactical play. On Encelade the victory is played in the middle of the map which is a real battlefield. You are warned.
CUSTOM :
you will be able to equip two different armors and wear two different sponsors. We also add a color wheel feature so you can fully custom your equipment. Of course you can play a man or a woman :
ZARDOZ corporation :
RHINO Corporation :
Alpha will start on Steam in few days. Stay tuned ! You can still join the alpha program and help us to improve the game xp here : ALPHA SUB
it's free of course.
Voilà, thank you all for reading ! See you on the next update.
