BeachHead MacOS Update

Minor bug fixes and small improvements.

[h2]Happy 4TH of JULY, everybody!![/h2]

Welcome to the first 1.0 version of the BH2020 CLASSIC (full-game). As you'll see, there are many new features and improvements, and especially in the graphics. We left some things open -and without interaction- just for you to see where we are going (like the arcade machines in the bunker hub), but they will be made fully interactive in future updates. Please bear with us; we are almost there. Thank you so much for your patience and your support.

[h3]BeachHead Rogue Test Battle[/h3]

Dear Steam players and dedicated BeachHead fans,

We are not going anywhere. Thank you once again for your continued support. Let's embark on this thrilling new adventure together in BeachHead Rogue!


Sincerely,

Pepe Moreno & BH Team

We are happy to announce that survival competitions resume in July and will become a regular feature! Newly powered by our own game server, we can now run multiple competitions without erasing the existing high scores of players on Steam.



BH UNIVERSAL LEADERBOARD. The new BH database will be universal across platforms so that everyone can play in the same game or tournament! Scores will be recorded and displayed for everyone to see, AND you will be able to convert your score points into BHC (game credits) later on.

[h3]AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR SCORE ACCOMPLISHMENTS?[/h3]

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT TO YOU? Because your score is money! Starting in Q4 2021, you will be able to convert your score points into BHC credits (your BH in-game-world currency). With BHC, you can buy assets to use in the BH game-world to simply enjoy, or better your chances of success. You can also sell them back into the BH Marketplace in exchange for more BHC credits (to buy other things that you like in the game).

[h3]START EARNING NOW[/h3]

Yes! Starting in July (4th) 2021, scores from all BH2020 game versions (past and present, arcade and survival competitions) will be tallied together in our new database, AND IF YOU REGISTER into your very own BH Wallet! Once you have a wallet, you'll be able to convert your score points into BHC credits. So what are you waiting for? You can start earning now!



[h3]COMPETITION CATEGORIES[/h3]

ALL Competitions reset at the end of each calendar month. Player’s scores return to zero in each category, however, players stay in the category they qualified for. Once you have qualified for a category, you remain in it, unless your score drops below that category’s range. There are 4 levels of competition:

• Beginners Competition.
  
• Veterans Competition.
  
• Aces Competition.
  
• DeathMatch Competition.
  

BEGINNERS. Every player starts the game in the beginner’s category. The top X players of the month/week will go to the Veteran’s Competition. This is a starting competition, so players can't drop down in rank by failing to score above the average.

VETERANS. Top players in the Beginner’s Competitions from the previous month will qualify for the Veteran’s Competition. The top X players of the month/week will go to the Aces Competition. Players that do not qualify for the following Aces Competition will remain in the Veteran’s category to try again in the next competition. Players who score below average will go back to the Beginners Competition.

ACES. Top players in Veterans Competitions from the previous month will be in the Ace Competition. Ace players that do not qualify for the following DeathMatch Competition will remain in the category to try again in the next competition. The top X players of the month will be allowed to go into the DeathMatch Competition. Players who score below average there will go back to the Veterans Competition.

DEATHMATCH. Players will challenge each other in a one-on-one match (score vs score). The winner gets ALL the score points, including those of the losing player. The losing player will start over in the Beginner’s Competition.

[h3]NEW RULES[/h3]

SURVIVAL MODE means that you play non-stop until you die (game over). It's ALL OR NOTHING and it has to be all on the same game save. Your top score gets recorded along with the waves you survived and the time used. Your total score along with your name and profile photo will show on the BH (and Steam) LeaderBoard and in your profile score tab. SURVIVAL is a "valor-skill-challenge" that will allow you to jumpstart and make your mark in the world of BeachHead. This is the first step in the evolution of the game and the start of the game economy.

• TIMELINE. The timeline is open, players can enter anytime by clicking on the "survival" button and start playing. Every month (at the end of the month) we will tally up the best players' scores.
  There are no restrictions, you can play and try to beat your top score as many times as you want. Your highest score is recorded and so you will not be set back if you had a bad run.
  
  
• WHO WINS?: Top ten players will show up on the scoreboard at the calendar end date of every month in every category.
  
  
• HOW TO WIN: The more you play, the better you will get, and the longer you will survive. Practice and hone your skills first, and then focus on playing your best game.
  
  
• WHAT YOU WIN: Your score will earn you a rank with corresponding medals and decorations that grant you certain in-game privileges. The higher the scores, the higher the rank and prestige of the medal. If you die a lot that's okay, you'll receive a Purple Heart Medal regardless to honor your service.
  

[h3]REQUIREMENTS[/h3]

• An active profile, email verification, and proof of legal purchase are required.
  Anyone can participate, but only legal owners will be able to benefit from rewards and collect their prizes (proof of purchase required).
  

[h3]ADDITIONAL PRICES & REWARDS[/h3]

RANK: Rank is of extreme importance in Beachhead because it allows exclusive access to weapons and features others cannot access. Rank determines your status and prestige in the game. Rank will be assigned on the score tally relative to all others, but the minimal score under each category will be based on your highest score of all time (total score).

MEDALS: HEROS are recognized and rewarded with medals in BeachHead. If you become a HERO in the game it is very significant because people will look up to you and your accomplishments. If you have a good reputation, it will follow you all the way to the full version of the game!

BADGES: Badges give you STATUS and assign you to a class. At the base level, everyone begins as a Citizen, after that comes Soldier, and Defender. Not everyone has to be a soldier, but everyone between the ages of 13 and 45 has to serve in the Defense Force (BDF), or in some defense capacity supporting the fighting force. Everyone is welcome to join the fight if they choose to - unless there's a disaster and everyone has to fight.

BHC CREDITS: 10,000 BHC will be rewarded to each competition's TOP-TEN WINNER and 1,000 BHC each to the rest of the top ten contenders. BHC is the in-game currency that allows you to buy in-game objects, weapons, and accessories. For the time being, the BeachHead economy is focused on game items that relate to combat. However, BHC is not only the in-game currency but the currency of the entire BeachHead universe. Once BH CITY opens, players will be able to use their money to buy property and "civilian" lifestyle items.

[h3]BH MERCHANDISE[/h3]

BH MERCH: In addition to the top survival scores awarded above (once a month), BH Merch items will be awarded (raffle) among the winners. BeachHead front wear is high-quality and designed to fit well. You can buy them later, but why not take the chance to earn them now?
