November Dev Update - Hallie Arriving In December!
Greetings fellow buckyballers!
[h2]Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving![/h2]
It has finally come to the end of November, which means, time for another developer update!
Over the past month, the dev team has been working very hard on adding more contents into the game and preparing for the upcoming Beta.
It'll still take a bit of time before we can comfortably announce the dates, since we want to make sure all the new contents get checked before it's out.
As the Beta is just around the corner, in this dev update, as well as the days leading up to the test, we'll start to unfold all the major changes coming into December, let's check it out!
[h3]Beta Sign Ups[/h3]
The upcoming Beta will be distributed exclusively via our Steam Playtest channel, and the sign up for the playtest has already opened on our steam page.
If you still haven't signed up yet, be sure to register so you can get notified once the Beta goes live!

[h3]Hallie Character Intro[/h3]
Back in September, we revealed Hallie, an upcoming goalie that was designed to compete with Gridiron, R47 and provide more options for defensive players.
We were unable to share her skillsets with everyone at that time, considering she was still undergoing significant adjustments.
However, as we're quickly approaching the Beta, it's finally about time to showcase what she is capable of!

[h3]Afterimage[/h3]
Apart from Hallie's character skillset, we'd also like to share a new common skill 'afterimage' that is coming into the game in December.
Players can select this skill at the start of the match, after activating, it'll start a countdown and leave a ghost tracing the player's starting position. Players can either reactivate it after a few seconds to return to the starting position, or wait until the countdown ends to automatically return to the starting position. During the countdown, players will receive a minor speed boost.
With enough proficiency, you can even block your own ultimate! Although I doubt anyone will actually use that on the pitch :)
This common skill should come in very handy, especially for goalkeepers that needed to go attack while still wanting to trackback instantly.
Besides afterimage, we do have a few more common skills arriving in the next Beta. The idea is to encourage a diverse selection of common skills and provide a more vibrating gameplay experience.
[h3]Steam Deck Gameplay[/h3]
We were able to get our hands on a Steam Deck last week, thanks to the amazing people at Valve.
Honestly, Super Buckyball Tournament runs surprisingly smooth on this compact handheld console, feel free to check it out yourself on our Twitter!
So that's pretty much everything for this month's dev update, and I hope to see you again over the next few days!
Make sure you wishlist the game and follow us on social media!
