New Unity Beta build available to play!

Hello Heroes!

We are once again happy to announce that we are hitting our next milestone in the ongoing Unity port rollout. Today at roughly 10:30 AM PST we are setting up our soft launch for Steam! Similar to our Web soft launch we want to make sure players have the option to opt into the Beta path and still have the option to play the stable build if they so choose.

Although we fully appreciate those of you that take the time to test the new Unity version of Bit Heroes on Steam please recognize that this is still considered a Beta and you may experience a few bugs/issues. If you run into any issues with the Unity version please let the developers know by responding in the #unity-port-issues channel found on our official Discord (discord.gg/BitHeroes).

DISCLAIMER:
Playing on the Unity version will still be using your real account and as a result, any items consumed or used while playing on the Beta version will also be exhausted within the current version of the game as well.

We will not be able to refund or replace any resources you choose to use while playing on the beta version of the game. If you do come across an issue please report it to the devs immediately and DO NOT continue to use any further resources in the area that you discovered the issue. If you wish to continue playing and using resources in that area then you can return to the stable build of the game at any time by following the instructions given above. You can still also play the stable version on your mobile device as normal.


How do I access the Beta path in Steam?

1) -- Fully exit and reopen Steam.
2) -- Find Bit Heroes among your list of games within your Library.
3) -- Right-click on “Bit Heroes” and click “Properties” in the drop-down.
4) -- Click on the “Beta” tab found on the properties pop-up window.
5) -- Select the ‘beta - Public Beta’ path via the drop-down and then click the “x” icon on the window.
6) -- Please wait for the game to finish updating before launching the game.

How do I stop playing the Beta version in Steam? Similar to the steps you had to take to join the Beta you will want to go back click the Beta tab within the game’s properties window and deselect the Beta path so that it reads ‘None.’ Please follow the steps found above if you need a refresher on how to access the Beta tab. After you deselect the Beta path you will still need to wait for the game to update and relaunch before reaccessing the stable version.



Thanks so much to all of you that have shown understanding and support while we have worked to get this build out the door. If you would like to help test this build then please head on over to #unity-port-issues for a few more details on how to help.

Much love, The Entire Bit Heroes Development Team

Unity Update 1/8/21

UNITY UPDATE:

First off, we want to extend our sincerest thanks to everyone that has been helping us test the Unity beta path on Kongregate.com over the last few weeks. With your help, we’ve been able to locate and resolve several issues during the soft launch period.

Due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback and support provided by our awesome community we now feel confident enough to fully transition the Web version over to Unity. This means that we will be removing the selector from the web version and default all players to the Unity build. We plan to have this change take effect on Monday (01/11/21) at around roughly 11:00 AM PST.

If any changes need to be made to this timeline we will make sure to update everyone on Discord, so stay tuned-in for updates! For the time being, we will continue to leave the #unity-port-issues channel open to help us identify and resolve Unity-specific issues as they may crop up.

WHAT’S UP NEXT?

We’re sure many of you are curious as to what will be forthcoming barring an expectedly successful transition to Unity on web this upcoming Monday. Aside from continuing to monitor the web build for potential issues, we will begin shifting our focus to finishing the ports for all of our officially supported platforms. The first of which will be Steam. Similar to the web build, we are hoping to have a public Beta for the Steam Unity port soon. Once we have more details to share we will announce it officially.

Thanks again to everyone that has taken part in the Beta and provided such invaluable feedback along the way!!
