Blam! Blam! News

Hi Everyone!

We had a very full and eventful last week. We were able to have 10 simultaneous players running around at the same time!

As we did that we found that a few things were a bit on the difficult side when you had 10 friends in a call together. Bits of pieces of information weren't conveyed well enough when flipping from game mode to game mode. We are working on a way for information to be conveyed easily and well for all types of players.

Come join us on our Discord. E33 Studios Discord We would love to hear what ideas may be fun to implement.

Hi Everyone!

I've got good and I've bad news. Good news is we found a lot of things during our play testing. Bad news is some of those things will prevent us from publishing the Demo next week.

To be totally transparent with you all. Our goal is to get a smooth play experience with 8-12 players. We ran into issues with testing the amount of simultaneous players. As a team we decided not to release the demo early with some of these fun killing issues.

Our hope and goal is that this only pushes back the demo by a week or two. We are working hard to get it as air tight as possible so fun can be had by all.

Hi Everyone!

During our play testing we've found a couple of smaller bugs that we need to fix.

While we were doing it we found that smaller groups had less fun on some of the larger maps. In order to help fix that feeling we went ahead and made small versions of each of our existing maps.

Island


Corridor


Warehouse


Castle


Battlefront


Hedge


Rig

Hi Everyone!

We are back to more bug fixes and tuning to get a fun gameplay loop as well as reduce any issues that could pop up during gameplay. A little less fun than new game modes and maps but needed all the same.

Hoping to have the demo live within the next few weeks.
