[h3]Early Access Pricing Survey[/h3]

Back in August, we put out an SBT pricing survey, where we asked players to vote for the business model of SBT based on their perceptions of the game.

With final Beta launching for more than a week now, we came across players asking for the pricing model over and over again. It has come to our mind that we have to make a decision sooner rather than later.

So please help us by sharing your honest opinions in the latest pricing survey HERE

[h3]What's Next For SBT?[/h3]

Throughout the past week, the team have received loads of feedback & BUG reports.

With a limited amount of human resources, we did not reply to every single message.
However, after Beta finishes, we'll finally have time to sort out all the feedback & BUG reports accordingly.

We'll collect feedback & BUG reports from in-game survey, official Discord server, Email and various social media channels.

The team will make sure to continue to optimize the game and adjust the gameplay based on player feedback, stay tuned on our social media for more updates about the future development next year!

[h3]Beta Extended[/h3]

We've seen plenty of new faces joining the Beta over the past week. Many of them were astonished by the skills that seasoned players had, and the potentials of Super Buckyball Tournament beyond a basic tutorial.

Here's a great example on how the game could be played out



Therefore, we've decided to extend the Beta for an extra few days and give new players more time to practice their skills, whether is to scrim before the tournament actually started, or simply learn more from top tier players and get better at the game.

The detailed server closing time will be announced later.

[h3]Tournament Star Player Highlights[/h3]

Aside from Beta extensions, we'll also be sharing some star player videos over the next few days to introduce tournament players while helping new players quickly master the technics. Watch out for the video tomorrow!

[h3]Regional Tournament Time & Sign Up Still Available[/h3]

After community consensus, we felt it's more viable to switch the time of the tournament from weekdays to weekends. The new time for the tournament is listed as follows:

[h3]European Tournament: January 2nd (Sunday) 3PM CET
American Tournament: January 2nd (Sunday) 4PM EST[/h3]

As a result, the sign up for the European and American tournament has been extended until Dec 28th Tuesday 1 AM EST. Players that wanted to participate will still get a chance to sign up before it officially closes tomorrow!

The official global series will start off with regional tournaments in Europe, America and Asia, where we’ll draft the best team from each region to represent their players.

Hey buckyballers!

Since the Final Beta launch yesterday, we've had a few players asking where they can download and join the Beta.

While the Playtest button is already visible on our steam page, we thought there might be players having difficulties navigating through the store, especially with the brand new Playtest feature.

As a result of this, the team has brought back the Demo download button as an alternative way for people to join our final Beta.

Have fun and I'll see you on the field!
