[h3]Introducing K1-D[/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
His arrival in the Beta is a curveball, since we did not even announce him in the initial Beta highlights. But yeah, who doesn't like a robot with cutie smile on his face?

As a flexible goalie, the addition of K1-D will sure add more diversity to the roster.

He's an extremely fun character to use, thanks to the high mobility attributes and skillsets.
Can't wait to see guys try him out in the Beta next Thursday!

The Final Beta before Early Access is just down line!

[h3]Sign up on Steam now so you can get immediate access once the test goes live on 16th![/h3]

[h3]December Beta Overview[/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Here's what you can expect from the Beta starting next week:

[h3]New Character: Hallie[/h3]

[previewyoutube][Hallie skill introduction video][/previewyoutube]
“Wanna play around?”

Meet Hallie, a tough defensive character with giant robotic drone arms that can intercept and disrupt opponents' attacks from a distance, as well as generate a superpowered defensive field that can both knock opponents and deflect buckyballs. Get ready to shake things up when she joins the competition in the upcoming December Beta!

[h3]Victory Poses & MVP Animations[/h3]

Choose your favourite pose to celebrate your wins and flex your style.



And of course, the MVP gets to show off in the spotlight!

[h3]Brand New Skins & Accessories[/h3]

Now there's plenty of ways to customize your characters, no matter your taste! Legendary skins have now been enhanced with unique visuals, so every time you take the ball and make a play, you're the center of attention on the field!









[h3]Wider Vision, Larger Field[/h3]

With a bigger map and an updated camera angle, you now have more room to show off your moves and a wider view of the field to better control the game!



[h3]New UI & Perfect Accuracy[/h3]

The UI has also gotten a total upgrade, with a new crosshair, skill icons, and special effects.



Now when you press and hold the shoot button to build up power, if you time the release just right, you’ll trigger a precision shot, so you can hit an accurate shot no matter which character you’re playing!



[h3]Fresh Common Skills[/h3]

Instead of items being dropped on the field, common skills are now equipped from the character selection screen, bringing more interesting ways to play while streamlining and balancing previous skills.

[h3]And More...[/h3]

There’s more exciting content for you to discover, including the new crates system, shop, and so on.



Got hype? Got gripes? Sound off in the comments or forever hold your peace… until EA starts, anyways. This is the last Beta before SBT launches in Early Access, so your feedback is critical!

[h3]Beta signups are already open, so act now to get in on the action! [/h3]

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!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[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!

We have an exciting announcement coming up!

As you might know, in the past few months, we have spent a lot of time optimizing the look and feel of the game. And now, we’d like to invite you guys to come to try and enjoy the game for yourselves. Currently, our team are working on final adjustments which should be ready next month.

[h3]Steam Playtest[/h3]

This time, instead of a regular demo, we've decided to utilize the new Steam Playtest feature, where players can sign up for the limited playtest in advance and once the test is live you'll receive an email notification to join and play.

[h3]Sign Up Now![/h3]

We will be announcing the exact dates of the test later, but for now, players can already sign up for this Playtest! It can be found on the main store page under the planned release date.
