The time is now, Early Access is out! Jump in and play now!
What's here?
The game will now be online, playable any time. No more account wipes, no more closed rooms, no more playtest-only gameplay. It's here, and you can play it!
Quickplay is also here to stay, at least for a while. It is something that costs a lot of money, so we will see how much use they are, but at least it will be on in the major regions - EU and US for now. If you can't see the Quickplay tab in the play menu, that means that there are no servers in your region. We will monitor how many players play from which region, and choose servers accordingly, so if you want them in your region, reach out to us!
Quickplay currently does not have matchmaking, it's a function that just throws players together in a room, and rotates maps after each match. That means you can play multiple matches with the same people, or you can leave, and find a different one.
There are also custom rooms. These are player hosted ones, so you have all the power in your own room. So even if there are no servers in your region, you can still play lag-free with other players in your own room.
Is it christmas?
Yes it is! There is an event starting with Early Access release, where you can get exclusive skin and emote rewards! All you have to do is play matches and open chests!
The event will be available until January 5th.
What's next?
More work for us, what else?
We will working on adding new content. First priority is to add more customization options - more sets, individual pieces, accessories.
We will also be working on adding some new weapons and skills, since we are not yet content with the amount that's in the game yet. We need more firepower!!!
After these, we will start working on one of the most requested and anticipated feature: Male character. Yes, it's coming. It will be a lot of work for us, we have to create a base model, redo all the animations, add the same amount of customizations as the female has... So it will take a while.
There may or may not be some time spent procastinating by creating new maps or even game modes instead of following the plan, but we hope you'll forgive us!
What can we do to help?
The best thing you can do is to play the game. Make it alive, be kind to new people, encourage them to stay. This is a hard game in a hard genre, so if you could help those who just joined, you will have future players to play with.
Tell your friends, your neighbour, your dog about the game. If you have a friend circle, or you're a content creator, streamer, anyone with some audience, if you could share even a little bit from the game, that would help us greatly.
We've also opened a Patreon, if that's your preferred way to support. There is no monetization at the moment in-game, so keeping up the servers comes out from our pockets currently. Any kind of donation is appreciated. We do not offer much as Patreon rewards, it's just a donation, not a transaction.
Thank you all for the long journey, and hope to see you in game!
