Neighbors: Suburban Warfare News

Howdy Neighbors!


[h2]🛑 THE OPEN BETA IS CLOSED[/h2]

The Open Beta for Neighbors is now over, and boy has it been a lovely time! 🤩 Almost 200.000 of you have played the game, and given us so, so much!

We are very happy to see so much excitement surrounding Neighbors be it here in Discord, but also across all our social media channels, on Twitch and also YouTube. 🥳

It was so cool to play the games with you and also to see other people play the game and have discussions about strategies or the pro and cons of certain neighbors.

After our weekly team meeting this morning it is clear: We are just so thankful for everyone playing. 💛🩵💚


[h2]WHAT HAPPENS NOW?[/h2]

I think I'm not reaching, when I say we got a shitton of feedback, recommendations and bugreports to go through and we are grateful, that we got pointers on how to make game even better. 🫡

Community-wise we are currently preparing a bigger report on the Open Beta with some interesting numbers like e.g. most played neighbors, average match length and item usage. We will try to get this done before the end of the week.

On the development side we will look at balance changes, fixes and general polishing of the game so we are ready for the Early Access Release April 17th. BTW don't forget to wishlist Neighbors to get notified when EA goes live.

[h2]📝 Localization of Neighbors[/h2]

Neighbors reached international waters and the language of the game needs more input! If you are not aware of it yet, we are translating the game together with the help of the community!

For this we are using Crowdin - a service enabling collaborative work on translations. We are always on the lookout for more support and voluntary translators. Especially looking at French, Portuguese or Spanish we seem to lack a bit. :/ After reaching a certain amount of words translated you will earn a spot in our credits and a also receive a limited digital reward, which we are currently figuring out. 🙂

A detailed breakdown on how the translation process works can be found in one of our previous Steam post here.



[h2]Neighbors MEME Templates, Sticker & Emotes [/h2]

We LOVE to seeing so many new users in the Discord and how engaged everyone is. This is why we decided to pull the trigger and release the first batch of Emotes and Stickers. We plan to add more of these as we go along and feel free to recommend some you would love to see and use. Check them out on our Discord server!



Much love,
Artjom & Jesper

Heyo Neighbors!

Our free Open Beta is starting Thursday March 20th, around 9PM CET, and runs until Monday March 24th at 10AM. To celebrate that, we are doing a bunch of live streams on our Twitch channel! 🎉

The game will be brought live just after our segment in the Future Games Show Spring Showcase has aired on Thursday, and after that we are live on Twitch for about an hour, where we will bask in the glory of seeing people play our game. 💓

Then, Friday to Sunday will see us livestream three hours a day, with developer Q&A:s, community playsessions and even competitive matches between devs and you, our dear players! ✌

Here is the detailed stream schedule, make sure you give us a follow on our Twitch channel, to make sure you don't miss out on any of the fun.




Thanks for all the love and hype, we are super eager to see you in game and on stream on Thursday! 😊

/Regards, the entire gang at Invisible Walls

Hey there Neighbors!

We have some really fun news today, perfect for that extra Friday vibe. The neighborhood is soon opening up for everyone - Thursday March 20th, 9PM CET, we are starting our free Open Beta! 🥳

It’s live until Monday 10AM CET, meaning you have plenty of chances to get your friends together and destroy each other's houses. Grab those crowbars and let’s goooooo! 🔥

We are so, so excited to welcome more players into Neighbors, we can’t wait to see all the creative ways you’ll demolish your neighbors property in, and maybe find a few bugs for us to sort out in the process. 😀

Feel free to jump into our Discord, to look for people to play with or just talk about how annoying/cute Leloi is! If you have any questions, feel free to holler at us and we’ll answer everything we can.

To let as many people as possible know about the Open Beta, we’re also part of the Future Games Show Spring Showcase, so please tune in to that and give us some cheers. That event also happens on Thursday March 20th (huh, what coincidence!), meaning that the beta will drop during the livestream.

See you in-game soon! 🏡🔥🏠

Hello dear NEIGHBORS!

As we are working intensely on the game, and to finalize a roadmap that we can share with you, we wanted to pop in here and tell you about some other fun news!

Starting now, we are taking applications for our Prelude, where content creators that are curious about visiting Heartsville and trying out the game can give us a holler. So if you're a creator, please email us at [email protected] or apply on our Lurkit page, and we'll be in touch. ːsteamhappyː

Do you have a favorite creator that you'd wanna se playing Neighbors? Give them a heads up that we are opening up the Prelude, it would be much appreciated! ːsteamthumbsupː

We also want to invite all players to another technical test for our dedicated servers! Come have a fun time and help us bang on the walls of the server to make sure it stands. We'll be having the test on Thursday March 13th, 16-17pm CET.

Hope to see you there, and we are hyped to tell you more about the game in the near future!

Take care!

/Jesper, community manager and vice Artjom
