The Beta is officially over!

The beta was a success. With 54 matches being played and almost 6 hours on the game between 2 days, there was only 1 crash. This was the first time there were 4 people at once on the server, and also the first time a full 2v2 was played. Certain things can't truly be tested without having actual players play. The server held up very well, and there was no major rubber banding or desync.

It's always a very special experience to witness players returning to the game for the first time in over 8 years. Getting to watch them relive the nostalgia for themselves is very rewarding and helps make all of this work worth it.

As for what comes next, we're getting close to release. I recently added spectate mode that allows players to spectate after resigning, as well as while waiting in the lobby. I also fixed the team selection screen. During the beta, there was a bug where all four players could move to the same side, which would break the game. There was also an issue where, if you moved away from the middle auto-assign position, you couldn't move back. The original trap mouse cursor is now back and working too!

The biggest feature remaining is restoring the ability to add and replace trinkets for your players. This way, everyone can build their squad and play exactly how they want to.

As for smaller features such as additional Kits, Pitches, Exhibition Mode, and other extras, those will be added after launch. This lets me get the game out as soon as possible while still giving everyone more to look forward to after release.

I'm planning on adding a paid battle pass as well. $20 and you can have an elite with every trinket in the game. Kidding. However, I will be looking into the possibility of adding new content and seeing if any of that is plausible.

I’m hoping to release in a week or two. Spread the word! See ya next time 🙂
