General Information

Devlogs

If you would like to track development progress of beta decay - Every month a new devlog is published to the game's Patreon here: Devlogs

Once beta decay reaches Early Access, it is likely that the Devlogs will make their way into Steam as well.

• The Goal of Devlogs are to:

  • Provide high level updates of what game features are being worked on.

  • Share some of the thought process behind the game's objectives.

  • Identify and communicate risks and challenges.

• High Level development updates are available for free to everyone - Which provide enough detail to track the game's progress.

• Donations - Optionally, if you choose to support and donate to the game - The higher Patreon Tiers provide further details into each high level update. More details can found here: Patreon.

• Notification - As with all major information, the community is notified via email, discord and Patreon.

Roadmap

A new development Roadmap (Progress Tracker) will be posted for this month of December. Stay tuned!

The roadmap is split into two categories:

• beta (-) decay = Features to arrive at Early Access.

• beta (+) decay = Features to arrive throughout and post Early Access.

As the game continues to grow, it becomes more and more critical that every scoped feature is clear and accurately defined to prevent confusion down the road. The defined scope in the roadmap will directly relate to what features to expect for Early Access. So this is very important.

The release date for the roadmap will be communicated via email, discord, and be available on rotoscopestudios.com when ready.

• Some Roadmap features will be marked as TBA and their details will be released when ready.

• Overall, keep your eyes open for the roadmap's release as the new Devlog #35 approaches!

Early Access (TBA)

Early Access Release Date is TBA

• Once all targeted features for Early Access are developed at their core and have gone through proper testing, the decision will be made whether to proceed into Early Access.

  • Therefore, the date for Early Access is a moving target.

• Please keep in mind that any dates that have been previously communicated are estimates and have always been subject to change.

Playtesting (Legacy 2025)

In early 2025 a playtest had been conducted to collect feedback around the game's core movement and combat mechanics.

• This was a very basic build in a Pre-Alpha state that is no longer available.

• You'll find that all of the content spread around on YouTube is from this older build.

Multiplayer

Multiplayer had always been a stretch goal for the game since the start, but would only be executed depending on how much support the game received. Surprising to say, people are very interested in the game! Therefore, the decision was made to proceed with multiplayer development throughout 2025.

Due to this decision, every system has been improved and re-worked to function with multiplayer.

Beyond the challenges and learning curves of networking, the changes have introduced much more originality and creativity. Each update has aligned the game more closely with its intended vision.

Upcoming Trailer (2026)

2025 has been an incredible year of progress and has flown by in a heartbeat. Although each month seems like a rush, I am very excited to showcase all the new features that have been developed, and all the improvements from the legacy build.

• The goal of the Trailer is to showcase
