Infinite Tournament Paintball News

About a month ago I launched the ITP YouTube channel and posted a video going over the progress that's been made on the newest version, as well as going over some future plans and answering some questions from the Discord.

Subscribe and leave a comment letting me know what you think and feel free to throw some suggestions my way.

Hi everyone

This message is mainly for our newer players.

Last year (2021) I began rebuilding the game from the ground up. Almost all of the 3D assets will be/are new and much higher quality, the game mechanics are completely different, and there are new features everyone will love. I’ve been dedicating as much time as I can each week to building the game.

If you’d like to follow the progress closer and help test, consider becoming an insider and send me a direct message on Discord. https://discord.gg/ejdzHYB

Lastly, don’t forget to follow our Instagram @fivetwostudios.

Here's a small update for you all. I'm going to be adding more markers and update all the models in the near future. I hope ya'll continue enjoying the game and I really appreciate all the suggestions and feedback! Your voices are heard and I take everything you guys suggest into account!

-Automatically spawn into each match instead of having 15 seconds to ready up
-Marker select fixed, although the color options are disabled for further development
-Single Player disabled for further development. I feel the difficulty of the AI has discouraged new players that didn't know it wasn't originally going to be implemented simply because the game was built to be multiplayer only. I will work more on the AI and make them a real challenge when single player returns in the future. For now you will still be able to add bots in multiplayer
-Original menu music restored

Sorry for the lack of updates lately... Life has been super busy lately but we're about to be back on track for the regular updates you guys are used to seeing. I hope everyone enjoys!
