Dev Diary: Skua Beta Out Now!
Hello, Bounty Hunters!
After a long pause, we're back to the Dev Diary! And we have a really good reason to do so: today, we launch the Beta of our next major Killsquad update, Skua. This new update will bring two huge features: the full Skua Campaign, and a much-desired Performance Upgrade.
Skua is the fifth game world in the Killsquad universe, after Wasteland 07, Kemmekh, the Palace of Pain and the Colosseum. Skua is a huge orbital space station owned by the Federation. They use it to store and test their newest weapons of destruction. And guess who is going in? Yes, correct: YOU. The Skua campaign brings a huge amount of content to KILLSQUAD: new locations, all new enemies, new contracts, new storylines... it's a whole new world for you guys to explore. To suffer. To conquer.
Now, our second major point today is performance. You guys care about performance. And so do we at Novarama. And now it's even more important: with our success in Asia (our friends in China and Korea, yes, this means you!) we've realized a lot of people play Killsquad in net cafés. So, we worked super hard to give you a super smooth experience, across *any* machine. So yes, all of you are getting higher frame-rates. More stability. A better experience for all our community. We hope you enjoy it.
I don't want to drag on for too long. Today is a day to play and celebrate. If you want a final experience, wait for a few more days while we sort out the remaining bugs. We feel we may be ready for a public release next week. But if you just want to go kill bugs here and now, join the Beta. It's free, it's open!
