PLAYTEST IN 2 DAYS!? | NEIGHBORS: Suburban Warfare Dev Update #5
Hello NEIGHBORS,
As announced in our last Dev Update, we had to postpone the Open Playtest because we made the hard decision to rework our matchmaking system. Previously Neighbors used local hosting, which will still be part of the game, but we are aiming to implement dedicated server usage.
Why? Fancy Shmancy matchmaking experience without getting kicked due to host problems and the ability to rejoin ongoing matches. ✨
To make sure everything goes smoothly, we have several test sessions with the community to check for bugs, errors, or if the whole thing just breaks the game [aww hell nah].
After successfully hosting two...yes you read that right...TWO matches on dedicated servers at the same time, we want to see how far we can go this Friday as we host a technical playtest.
[h2]WHEN?[/h2]
Friday, February 21st
16:00 - 18:00 CET
[h2]WHO CAN PLAY?[/h2]
Anyone who had access to the previous playtests, as we want to gather feedback from players who can compare the matchmaking experience to previous playtests.
[h2]HOW DO I KNOW IF I CAN PLAY?[/h2]
Please check your email folder associated with Steam and see if you received a notification from STEAM. If you received an email regarding access to the game, you are invited to join. If you did NOT receive an email, we are sorry, but you can look forward to future play sessions. 💛💚💙
