Hi Adam!
The July Playtest was such a blast. It was incredibly satisfactory seeing from my window so many Others strolling around the streets.
Blood has been spilt in rivers and Century City has never been so prosperous and flourishing.
The Notary worked tirelessly and these are some of the most interesting data he collected:
General numbers
2270 Others descended to Century City and we have reached 469 simultaneous players.
The Notary noticed that you seem to like the thrill of staying in town: the average time in the game is 8 minutes.
There was also a substantial increase in the current accounts of the Others: 2.5M Creeds were deposited in bank. Otis must have been busy, but remember that spending Creeds in the shops in town is the best way to use them.
A great battle between prey and predators took place in the streets of Century City: 9.1M damage ticks have been inflicted, which results in 9000 dead Others.
Damage Type
- 🔫 56% from bullets (from both Others and Things)
- 🪓 21% from melee meapons
- 💣 10% from traps
- 🚪 9% by jumping through windows (instead of using doors)
It looks like someone had a lot of fun with mines, grenades and baseball bat.
Damage Inflicted
- 🌺 53% was coming from Others
- 👹 40% was coming from Bots
- 🚪 7% was self inflicted (back to the windows jumps)
Looting and fighting in Century City
The Notary noted that some areas were favoured over others.
In particular, the three most visited were:
- 🧞 Al Sadaqa
- 🐍 Snake Side
- ⚔️ Swords End
He also adds that Police Station and Chateau follow as the most scavenged areas, but he also showed his disappointment that the Museum was poorly attended: what a shame, all those display cases full of Things' parts.
Needless to say, thank you all for joining and for helping us make the greatest playtest ever!
We are impressed by what you achieved in the game in such a short time.
Thanks to your help, all this information we gathered will be incredibly useful in continuing to make Hell Is Others better and better.
See you tomorrow Adam
