โš”๏ธ Sharper Combat, Smarter Multiplayer & Steam Next Fest Incoming!

Greetings, Defenders! ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Weโ€™ve been hard at work to bring you another wave of awesome updatesโ€”and weโ€™re thrilled to show you whatโ€™s new in the latest version of Bytebond! Letโ€™s jump in:

๐ŸŽฏ Combat Rework
Fighting off the virus just got a whole lot smoother! Weโ€™ve added improved visual feedback to make every hit feel more impactful and revamped targeting to help you lock onto enemies faster and smarter. Suit up and get ready to smash some bugs!



๐ŸŒ Public Lobbies Are Here!
Want to jump into a quick game with fellow defenders? Now you can! Public lobby support is live, complete with an in-game server listโ€”making it easier than ever to connect, team up, and dive into the digital frontier together.

๐Ÿ† Achievements Unlocked
Twelve brand-new achievements have landed! Explore deeper, play smarter, and show off your accomplishments. Can you unlock them all?

๐Ÿ”ง Online Co-op Enhancements
Weโ€™ve made major improvements to network stability for online playโ€”less lag, more fun. Plus, you now have the option to toggle split-screen on or off in online multiplayer. Whether you like to share the screen or go full solo view, the choice is yours!

๐ŸŽฒ Cube Mechanics Overhaul
The trusty cubeโ€™s been hitting the gym! Youโ€™ll now experience smoother pickup mechanics and more accurate interactions with pressure plates and other objects. No more fumblingโ€”just precision gameplay.


๐ŸŒ€ Split-Screen Smoothed Out
When characters move vertically apart, the split-screen transition is now way more graceful. Vertical camera shifts are softer, more cinematic, and less jarringโ€”because your teamwork deserves seamless visuals.

๐Ÿšจ MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Bytebond @ Steam Next Fest!
Big news! Our Bytebond demo will be part of Steam Next Fest from June 9โ€“16!
Itโ€™s your chance to try the game, stream it, share feedback, and help shape the future of the project. We canโ€™t wait to see what you think!

Thanks for being part of our growing communityโ€”weโ€™re just getting started.
Until next time...
