Hey everyone!
First of all, what you've all been waiting for. The closed beta will be starting on August 17! Join DISCORD.SMUSH.TV to sign up! We'll be giving out a smaller batches of keys at first just to make sure we squash any widespread bugs and will be giving out more exponentially as the weeks go by.
]Bonus: every person who has signed up for the beta before PAX West (Aug 29) will be receiving 20% off SMUSH.TV on launch as a thank you for your support! So make sure you've signed up in the #beta-key-request channel!
That leads into our second announcement - we've been selected to showcase with the Indie MEGABOOTH at PAX West at the end of this month! We're extremely grateful and excited for this opportunity and will be there for all four days at booth #655. So if you're attending PAX, stop by and give us a shout :smiley: We'll also have our party mode playable for the first time! Party mode will be coming to the beta shortly after PAX, just need a bit of time to get all the UI+Tutorial stuff sorted.
Party mode throws up to 4 players on controllers against a single player in VR. Coordinate your blocks+active skills to SMUSH the VR player, or get mad and sabotage each-other's plans. Either way, it's a hoot :)
Here's our PAX announcement video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91flut4wID0.
It'll give you a look at where we started, where we've gone, and where we're going from here! Thank you all so much for all the support!
