X8 News

Hello everyone!

Thank you so much for your patience as we have been compiling the data from the X8 Closed Beta 2 we had last week.
This beta we had a total 51 bug tickets and 110 feedback/suggestion tickets over the course of 4 game builds! Partway through the week, our team released the 3rd and 4th build of the beta containing over 35 different updates and changes, thanks to the help and suggestions beta testers had been sharing during the first half of the week.
A special thank you to a select few who provided the most amount of bug reports, feedback tickets, and showed an incredible amount of sportsmanship throughout the week. These nominees are listed in our Discord at discord.gg/x8vr !

During this beta, we also held a contest where our testers were able to take in-game footage while they played to create and post videos, for a chance to win Steam keys for the full game!
Our winners have been selected, and are also listed in our Discord!
You can check out their content here!

Hello!

Hope you had a blast this past weekend!

This week, we have a new developer's blog written by our Project Lead Dax Berg about X8's inspirations and the game's abilities system. If you're interested in the game's mechanics I would highly recommend a read!

We'd love to hear your thoughts.
