over the hill News

📢 Hey everyone,

We're back with another monthly update!

💖 First of all, thank you for the amazing support during last week's live stream! We truly appreciate it! It was a blast chatting with you all, so we're considering having more streams in the future. We hope to see you soon!

For those who couldn't join us last week, you can catch up with the VOD on our YouTube channel: [previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

❗ ℹ️ The biggest question we got, of course, was when will the game launch. We originally planned for a 2025 release, but the overwhelming response since the reveal announcement and your feedback during the playtest made us want to take more time to create a better game and to make more of your requests possible. For now, our new target is sometime next year. Until we're certain about the date, all we can share is that we're working hard to make it worth the wait!

We know there's a lot we can't confirm just yet, but we're making steady progress, and we'll do our best to share our milestones with everyone here.

🎥 In the meantime, don't miss out on the fun shorts we share on our socials! Here are some recent highlights:

1️⃣ Working on some mud mechanics:

[p]📢 Hey everyone,

We’re happy to share that our first playtest last month was a resounding success! We received a ton of invaluable feedback, and we’ve been hard at work processing it and improving over the hill.

While we can't reveal all the improvements and new features we’ve implemented just yet, here are some highlights:

1️⃣ We replaced the minimap with a compass to create a more immersive navigation experience:

Well, sort of... 😉[dynamiclink][/dynamiclink] [/p][p]🙏 We're truly grateful for everyone's participation in the first over the hill playtest! While we couldn’t fit everyone into this round, we sincerely appreciate everyone's positivity and continued support.

[p]📢 Hey everyone, [/p][p][/p][p]Some of you may have already heard the buzz about the upcoming over the hill playtest!

We know we’re running a little later than expected, and we truly appreciate your patience. We've been working hard over the past months to make the alpha build as enjoyable as possible, and we're happy to say it's coming along well.

❗ That's why we've finally settled on a date for the playtest. We’re aiming to hold it during the weekend between July 11th and 13th, so mark it on your calendar!

ℹ️ This will be a closed playtest, meaning only a limited number of players will be selected. However, if you’re not chosen this time, don’t worry! You’ll still have a chance to join future playtests, and we’ll prioritize those who applied before.

We'll share more info with you as we get closer to the playtest date. In the meantime, if you haven't signed up already, don't miss your chance to be among the first to try our game!
