Hello, this is GM_Geebly.
Today we will talk about a new way to get information in the game: death recaps!
More details will be revealed in later news. In the meantime, we will keep answering the feedback questions briefly one by one to update you on what is coming next.



Uh... What just killed me?

Being killed in a game is always a bit upsetting. But what if it actually helped you improve your strategy?

Just like in the original Black Survival (2D), we are planning to add a death recap that appears on your screen after you have been killed. This will allow you to get information on the person that killed you such as its equipment, its skills, etc. This is precious information to try to improve your strategy and counter other player's tactics.

We will give you more information about all the information that will appear on this death recap later, so keep an eye out!

Q7. Will there be a BGM and character voices to make the game more dynamic?


Background music is an element that has been partly missing in the 1st and 2nd Alpha test and a lot of you noticed that.
To be honest, we have been working on Black Survival: Eternal Return's BGM for a while now. Sound is very important, especially in a game, and we want to get that right.

You will be able to hear the BGM for the first time in the 3rd Alpha test!

However, the character voices won't be available yet for the next test. They will be added later in the development process to make the game even more dynamic.

Hello, this is GM_Geebly.
Today we will talk about fast traveling around Lumia Island!
Details will be revealed in later news. In the meantime, we will keep answering the feedback questions briefly one by one to update you on what is coming next.



[This animation is here only to illustrate the subject and does not represent the system that will appear in BS:ER.]

This is another thing that came out a lot in the feedback. As the map is quite big and the items are scattered in different areas, it can take some time to run around and craft the item you want. It also gets even more difficult as the restricted areas grow in number and/or other characters get in the way.

A lot of you requested a way to get around faster, and we received really interesting ideas: a train going around the map and the characters having to hop onto a wagon, underground paths and even a monorail system that would allow players to travel above the map.

We are currently working on a fast-travel system that will change quite a lot the dynamics of the game and allow for new strategies to appear. Will it be a train, an underground network, a monorail, a teleportation system?

We will reveal more details about it and how it works in later news, so look out for announcements!

Hello, this is GM_Geebly.

Today we will talk about Black Survival: Eternal Return's beloved wild animals!
We will post more details later in separate news, but in the meantime, we will keep answering the feedback questions briefly one by one to update you on what is coming next.



Please... give some love to our wild animals

A lot of you probably felt bad for wild animals during our 2nd Alpha test: not moving during the day, just awaiting their death and being able to move around only to attack at night. We got a lot of requests to make them a bit more dynamic. But there will be more than that in the 3rd Alpha test. There will be big changes when it comes to wild animals! The details will be revealed in later news, so we cannot tell you much right now, but... we might even have new ones coming to the game! Can you take a guess? (no unicorns, sorry 🦄)

Keep checking the news to see how wild animals will change, we cannot wait to share the details with you!

Hello, this is GM_Geebly.
In today's 'quick answer', we answer your question about playing the game on slow PCs!
We will keep answering the feedback questions briefly one by one to update you on what is coming next.




We had a few players that were unable to run the game properly due to the quality of their PC.
In the next stages of development, we are planning on optimizing the game a bit more than it is now. However, it will be hard to play if you have a PC that is below the game's minimum requirements (the system requirements for Black Survival: Eternal Return are subject to change).

We hope a lot of you can play it in its full glory and we will keep working hard on making it available for everyone!

Hello, this is GM_Geebly.
In today's 'quick answer', we will talk about the Single Player mode!
More details will be published later in separate news. In the meantime, we will keep answering the feedback questions briefly one by one to update you on what is coming next.


Single Play mode was a new feature of the 2nd Alpha test, and we were happy to see that a lot of you really enjoyed it. We even had players tell us that they only played in the Single Play mode as it was too much fun. It was however a bit too hard for new players sometimes, especially when they ended up being chased by a horde of bots.


Help! Bot horde coming.

We want to make that mode even more accessible by allowing players to adjust it to their need. This way, Single Play mode will be as enjoyable by new players as it will be for most advanced players that want to improve their strategies and test certain features of the game.

Keep checking the news to see what surprises the Single Play mode will bring in the 3rd Alpha test~

Hello, this is GM_Geebly.
In this 'quick answer' news, we will answer the question we got about custom controls!
We will keep answering the feedback questions briefly one by one to update you on what is coming next.



Custom key binds! It's a feature asked by quite a lot of players. We will indeed have this feature in Black Survival: Eternal Return.

However, it will only be available later, either in the test after the 3rd Alpha or right before Early Access.

We hear you and will make it possible as soon as possible for you to enjoy the game comfortably!

'Survive' until next time!

Hello, this is GM_Geebly.
After organizing the main feedback we received in the last news, we wanted to answer those questions briefly one by one to update you on what is coming next.
More details will be published later in separate news.


This is one of the thing that came out the most in the 2nd Alpha test feedback. As there is a lot of items (weapons, armor gear, food, beverages, etc.) it can be a bit overwhelming to check the recipes and decide your strategy while already in a match.


When you take too much time to study your recipe... and die.

Time is precious, and many of you wanted to be able to check and learn the recipes of their desired items beforehand. We heard you! In the 3rd Alpha test, we will be adding a crafting item list that you can access from the lobby. You will be able to start planning your strategy before diving into a match and increase your chances to win.

We will be talking of this new feature a bit more in details in our steam news soon, so stay tuned!

'Survive' until next time!

Hello, this is Nimble Neuron!
Did everyone survive in our last Alpha Test ?

We received a lot of precious feedback from testers after our 2nd Alpha test, and we have been reading every entry carefully!
Some feedback were coming back a lot, so we want to try and answer it in the next days.

• Will we be able to see the crafting list in the lobby?
  
• Will there be a way to move around the map faster than walking/running?
  
• Will there be a BGM, more sound effects and character voices to make the game more dynamic?
  
• Can we make the animals move around instead of just standing there, waiting to be killed?
  
• Can we have more control on fights, for example a way to disengage from certain fights?
  
• Can we have a kill scoreboard that appear after our death?
  
• Can we have an option to change the controls in the settings?
  
• Will I be able to play BS:ER even if I do not have a very good PC?
  
• Will there be changes in the single player mode to make it a bit easier?

Stay tuned for the answers, and more detailed news about the future changes in the game.

The 2nd Alpha Test has been completed after 12 hours of testing.

The Dev team will keep doing further research and development with the help of your feedback.

When we have made enough progress, we will have another Alpha test.
We hope everyone can join us again.
