November 2025 Development Update

[p]Another busy month with gameplay, mocap, menu/UI, etc. Huge strides overall the last 4-6 weeks as we prepare for our gameplay playtest. [/p][p]Screen 1: Our work in progress Exhibition mode Team Selection screen. With 11v11 Exhibition you will see helmets, etc here instead of a 7on7 t-shirt. [/p][p]Screen 2: Our first batch of 48 recolorable logos. Our goal is to have 10+ different variations of common animals (eagles, lions, bears, etc), shapes, people, etc. You can also upload your own logo (not recolorable in game) through our Community Share feature. [/p][p]Screen 3: Here is an example of the customization options for jerseys; specifically for the 7on7 jersey which is a bit more flexible. For 11v11 we'll have various stripes, patterns, the ability to put your logo on the chest, etc. [/p][p]As promised, in December (see dates in image) we'll have our first gameplay focused playtest. This will not be a polished "complete game". It's an alpha build which means it's functional. It will not have broadcast elements like replays, touchdown celebrations, crowd or crowd noise, etc. It's purely a gameplay test so you can get a feel for movement, controls, etc and provide helpful feedback for us. [/p][p][/p][p]Help us hit 10k wishlists on Steam so we can get more eyeballs on Varsity: [dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]PS: Our mocap actor / DB posted about his experience with some clips here from last week: https://www.instagram.com/pyramidlakegames/reel/DRlinWxjTce/[/p][p][/p][p][/p]
7ON7 GAMEPLAY
  • [p]Full gameplay loop is in place with selecting teams and playing a game: play selection, down management, and change of possession. This will be available in our 7on7 alpha build playtest in December.[/p]
  • [p]Varsity is still a 11v11 game, but we are focusing on “7on7” right now because we do not have line play yet. This allows us to improve & refine core QB/WR/DB gameplay.[/p]

MOTION CAPTURE
  • [p]We had a new capture session with our DB to record swats, interceptions, and general player juke moves.[/p]
[p][/p]
TEAM LOGOS
  • [p]We have setup our first batch of 48 logo options for teams. If you use these for custom teams instead of uploading your own, you can change the colors.[/p]
