I’ve been busy building new arenas and content for the full game, but I had time to put in some improvements to the demo, too. Mostly focusing on signposting (literally!) to help players find features like matchmaking, inviting friends and joining the community.
🏪👥 Community Kiosk
- Added a “Community” kiosk with dancing Discord Wumpus to help players find and join the BOTSU Discord Community (if you’re reading this and haven’t joined yet, what are you doing??!!)
- Moved Custom Match kiosk further away as it is not enabled in the demo. Community kiosk takes its place.
🎮🖼️ Controls Billboard
- Added controls screen billboard to home space to help new players and show extra controls that are not in the tutorial.
🙋♂️🙋♀️ Play with Friends
- “Connect” kiosk renamed to “Play with Friends”, shows how many are online, and now takes you to Steam friend invite screen.
🏪🚆Matchmaking Train Signs
- Added A-board signs to tell players how to join an online match via matchmaking.
- Improved position and visibility of the matchmaking train sign.
- Matchmaking train sign now says “arriving” when the train is arriving, and “boarding” when it has arrived.
🖼️❤️ Wishlist Billboards
- Added some billboards in the home space to encourage players to wishlist BOTSU on Steam. Thanks everyone who has wishlisted already! it helps others find the game, which really helps me out!! 🙏
