Beast Hour. №14. September 2022
Raiders & Beasts!
September has started and ended so swiftly, we can't believe it! We've been so busy making new content for the future Alpha test! Map changes, new features, quality of life improvements – all of it is coming soon! Let us show you what we’ve got in stock for you!
Map visuals
First off, the map of the game. Our artists, 3D-modelers and level designers have been very busy adding variety to the haunted city. Underground pathways and landmarks have been added, along with improvements in the natural environment – and that's just the beginning!
Nicknames
The gameplay feature you’ve been asking us a lot for is the addition of nicknames. Now it’s possible to assign your in-game nickname, so the next time you fight or kill someone, they will know your name (or vice versa)!
No more freezes
As we’ve explained in one of our previous newsletters, the freezes that took place at the start of every match were caused by a technical necessity. Now we’ve fixed the issue, so you can enjoy the game without freezes – and with new hint screens!
Zip Lines
Running away from Werewolves is difficult and we know that perfectly well. The feature currently in development and planned for the next playtest, is Zip Lines. They will help you get down from high rooftops with ease, in order to get some distance between you and a Beast.
Archive footage of the first Zip Line test. As you can see, not all Zelus' inventions work as intended from the start...
NEW TEST is coming in the second part of autumn!
We're not ready to give an exact date yet, but rest assured – a new Beast Hour test is just around the corner! It will include features mentioned in this very newsletter, ones we discussed in a previous issue, and a few pleasant surprises! Keep an eye on the news to update Steam game version in advance!
In addition
We stream Beast Hour and answer your questions every month – watch the latest video on our YouTube channel. Join us on the next stream in the middle of October!
